If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

Went up to take a lovely and short hike in Stevens Creek County Park* with my son and his grandmother. Driving was hard due to about 1000 hustlers on the road. They kept stopping at every turnout and gaggling about the holidays. I fully expect that you all here would have planned your trip out in advance and only stopped when something broke--which it wouldn't because you are, as the title says, the money on the back.
* I only expect Savington to know this place.

On a standard weekend day, cyclists will outnumber cars on that road ~100 to 1. You caught it on a holiday. I just rode up there myself a couple of weeks ago and will be there tomorrow, actually.

First crit, first crash. Moved left to sprint for the line just as a guy was coming up my left side. D'oh. Got out of it with no broken bones, but two stitches and a very beat up bike.

Next question: Can I ride with stitches in my hand?

Would you ride on this crank? Campy OT Comp Ultra.

Welcome to racing. Crankset looks fine.
However, contrary to popular belief, cranksets do fail often enough for me to see at least 10-15. Shimanos cleave perpendicular to the arm near or at the pedal threads, only 3 or 4 of these I've seen. Campagnolo tends to separate at the pedal insert. Sram and fsa both had problems with the arms disbonding from the spindle.

Had all my carbon bits x-rayed. Crank is fine, as suspected. Bars are cracked from the lever clamp crushing the carbon when it twisted. Fork is fine other than the broken lawyer tab.
I'm a little nervous about racing the S3 now. I'm supposed to do the Cal Aggie crit in 3 weeks. I'll be healthy but I may not be so eager to sprint for a win this time. :(

Growing up on a BMX bike and then a few thousand hours on a mountain bike gave me the foundation for staying upright and retaining my standard complement of skin.

I was surprised to find old BMX skills saving my bacon on the street motorcycle more than once when I started riding in the 80's. Violently dabbing, shifting weight and counter steering when hitting spilled diesel fuel at 50mph for example. Having a childhood background in gravity sports (surfing, skiing, skateboarding, etc.) in general, pays big dividends in wheeled sports as an adult.

I'm sure many of you heard that CX Nats were cancelled this morning, seriously uncool.
This is the "damage" which halted the race. Tomorrow's course will be redesigned and not go under any tree canopies.
Tree Alerts
From what I've read, it look s like two trees caused the stoppage and although there is some talk about concern over the root structures of the trees, the group which raised the issue is concerned about grass under the tree canopies.
I rode the course for two laps on Thursday, it was legit as hell and the limestone steps were demoralizing. Its a real shame, never got to see the pros go around the course.
