Was riding in a local race in washington a couple years back called the dessert 100 street used it as practice he went by me like I was standing still He won the race and just kept going for practice. after 100 miles I was wiped out for a week.He seemed like just an average guy. These guy's on bikes got nerves of steel .and blazin fast.

That's the way to win one. Almost a photo-finish. Go get them Robby.
And great result for BJ also, that will put both Hummers in the TV highlights tonight.

that overall for the first 4 stages right cuz I noticed he didn't get the mid check points but that's probably a scoring error through the gps scoring
