Dan launches his attack with 2 to go at Sherman Park. (Note Jesse's fine position on the inside.)
The M4 race ended in with a big crash. This poor fellow just moved to Chicago from New York. First race: broken Cannondale.
The top tube failed in two places. But he's OK.
Max joined the crew. He's back in Hyde Park for the summer and raced in his Princeton kit.
It was a wet and muddy race.
Jesse's rear wheel blew one minute before the start, so we traded. There were probably 10 flats in the field of 50.
Don't worry, it will wash right out.
Jesse attacked on the second lap, then wandered the pack. He finished in the first group.
The rain started five minutes before the M4 race and didn't let up for 40 minutes!
Pip showed up rocking the new Panaracer Extremes on his Merckx. Respect!
Here's Stacy's new custom ti roadie. It's a very TATI build: Sugino Cospea compact, SRAM Rival, Schwalbe rubber, plenty of orange glitter details.
Mike's model T with yummy wheels.
Stacy accidentally chose a very Garminesque color theme.
Jesse Williams, off the front. Of the third chase pack.
The humidity was stifling all morning.
Francisco, AKA Francesco... looking the most relaxed on climb number three.
MACK would end up easily winning, thanks to a I'm-not-CAT4-in-New-Zealand final lap.
