    I don't embed. I'm not that kind of girl. My bed is private and I don't share what I do in it. *edit* turns out I do embed. I guess I'm a bit of a slut. :/

    However, if you are so inclined, this is a pretty cool video of the Dana Point Grand Prix Pro Crit race, from Justin Williams (or his brother, I forgot which).

    If you thought roadies were wusses, think again.

    If you thought racing road bikes was boring, you need to watch this, then really think.

    That is all.

    Thanks for the post! I recently started dabbling in road racing and it is very exciting! You are basically on the edge the entire time. It is more scary than mountain bike racing though, that is for sure. It takes a lot of guts to trust that the other guys on both sides of you are going to hold their line and not fall when doing 30mph in the turns.
