HA! In a way I do drop her, I'll power hard for a mile or so and then grab a handful of brakes and hang back until she catches up.

Solo ride this morning.

Monte Bondone, Italy.
Not today, but from the first week on June.
The 20 min descent was a blast.

Couple of pics from a Criterium a few weeks ago; been struggling a lot with both form and my weight this winter some reason, so it was nice to have a good race... Was off the front for a good 20mins of the race, but burnt too many matches chasing a late break to be much good in the sprint. :oops:

Jackson Hole! I can see the Hobacks! Best skiing in the world IMO.

Unofficial world champs of Geneva, Classique Genevois 'long' course. Me on the left, made the break of 6 on the first lap of 6. We dropped one half way through, I was left with 3 climbers and the best sprinter in the area....hmmm. Finish was on a short but steep ramp. Tried to get away a few times on the last lap and actually even ended up being the launchpad for the winner. Ended 5th.

Basically pedal to the metal for 1:45, ouch
