I made the right moves on Sunday at the #manhattanbeachgranprix which landed me on the podium ahead of a lot of much stronger sprinter type riders. Felt like a win to me.

Got on the podium in a crit today! Manhattan Beach

Got on the podium in a crit today! Manhattan Beach Gran Prix, 35+ cat 3/4. 3rd place. This is a crazy good result for me as I'm pretty much always gonna be out-gunned in a crit.
Lots of attacks going up the road, solo, groups of 2 or 3. With about 5 laps to go I notice a pretty solid group of 5 riders forming. I kept an eye on it, working hard to stay at the front of the peleton. With 4 laps to go, I fully sent it to bridge across. There wasn't any kind of cohesive chase from the peleton and I figured that large of a group was a serious threat. It took a full gas, ~3/4 lap effort to get across but I made it and was able to sit in a bit to gain some recovery. The break stayed away and I was able to sprint to 3rd and earn my spot on the box (and $80.)
Fun race in a great location with a field of classy athletes. I should now have enough points to upgrade to cat 3.

The first James Webb Space Telescope image was rel

The first James Webb Space Telescope image was released today! Note the gravational lensing in the center of the image. The gravity from the (white light) cluster of galaxies is causing the light from behind to bend around them. Hence the warped looking galaxies around them. Those are actually behind and quite a lot farther away (and older!)

More to come tomorrow!

Back in February or so I'm mid way through the Mon

Back in February or so I'm mid way through the Montrose group ride, rolling along in the pack doing ~30 mph or so when suddenly I hear the guy next to me calling my fame. I turn to look but did not recognize him. "Do you remember me?" he asks. "Johann from Cal Poly!"
Oh shit, if course I remembered him. We suffered through college together and now here we were suffering through cycling together! I just didn't recognize him in full bike kit was all. Johann got into cycling a couple of years ago and got hooked like a lot of us. Yesterday we had a great ride, and descent down, GMR and Baldy Road.
Bikes are awesome!
