Because if I was a real pro, I would have gone with Barry and Parbo and at least taken 3rd place.

You can barely see in the video I had a mishap at the start and chased for a couple laps back into the lead group.

Parbo and I had a killer weekend. 2nd place both days for him and 5th place both days for myself. I was up till midnight gluing tubulars last night. My Edge wheels are getting some FMB SSC 34mm tyres and I got a non-whitewall coton Racing Ralph set for my alloy wheels. Those are the secret Azencross-Granogue-Barton tyres.

I’m selling off those 34mm whitewall PRO Racing Ralph FMBs if anyone is interested.

We are driving to Delaware today. 8 or 9 hours of highway. I’ve got my PSP charged up so I can stay awake while Parbo drives into this evening. We could not get a mini van so I have a gas guzzling SUV. ugh.

Let us not discuss the environmental impact “pro” racing has on the planet.

Parbo and I are still on West coast time, staying up till 2am every night.

Mitch (Biowheels owner and UCI race promoter) is awesome. His house is really beautiful, I wish I lived in it. Kate and Mitch were gracious hosts, taking us out on rides and giving us each our own rooms! Both of them are vegetarians which, is kinda nice. I don’t ever notice if people I stay with are veg or not but when you happen upon a veg household it reminds you how nice and easy it is.

Traveling to other parts of the country renews my excitement about being a vegan. And mainly it reminds me how spoiled we are in Portland. That place is like vegan paradise!

Brian Yellin, watch your back.
