    I couldn't care less if people are sandbagging and/or cutting the course! It dosen't do anything to the smile on my face when I finish 30 seconds faster than the week before. Great event, great fun, great format. Thanks for all your efforts and keep the OTH races coming.

    Wasn't planning to race this season but when I saw that it was Fullerton Bikes night I thought I'd throw on my FB jersey and show some support. Good times seeing everyone out there. I finished a horrible 18th place out of 33 in b49 but still had fun doing it. I'll be back,I've got some work to do. Hooked again? Vincent shows no interest in racing this year. Please help me get him out there.

    -Thanks for joining us on Tuesday (total surprise).
    -How did your "new" race bike treat you? Will you be racing it again next time?
    -The ladies were impressed with your wheelie skills (wow.. Grego... Oh my gosh) :lol:

    With regard to "Big Vince" making an appearance at OTH....
    Pretty sure I can find a person (or two) who will be able to persuade him.
    (thankfully we will have multiple weeks with which to wear him down) :)

    Good times!

    I made a mistake of thinking that flying would be faster than pedaling!

    It was a fun race, even though I got flowed by another racer. Some racers take this thing too seriously. I'm glad I'm in it for fun.

    I don't think he got hurt, per se, I heard that he was experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath - perhaps a cardiac issue? Hope he is OK

    When I saw him he had a neck brace on and "heard" he had broken ribs.
