Brent at North Boulder Park Criterium

These are a few of the pictures taken at my (Brent's) last race: North Boulder Park Criterium

Unfortunately I got to the start line a bit late and ended up at the back of the pack (almost 90 guys). Big mistake, but after about 4 or 5 laps I was able to work up to the front and the picture above is of me sitting in second at the time. These darn kids (one behind me and one before me) are so strong...it makes me feel old and I am only 31! The kid behind me is a 14 year old that rides for 5280 Slipstream, the junior development team for the more notable Garmin/Slipstream/Chipotle professional team. I guess the kid has won the last 2 races in my category, so at least I am in good company.

A picture of me cornering during the race when I had moved back a few spots.

A few seconds after this picture was taken, the guy in green (team Blacksheep) pulled off and I led for a lap or so. Not wanting to pull everyone around for a free ride, I took it pretty easy and eventually some other guys came around me to do some work.

This is a bit later in the race after I had moved back a few places after a blistering attack from my teammate that kicked up the pace to almost 30 mph for a few minutes. I was cooked (if you couldn't tell from my face).
