Race Day - Cobb Park Crit. 2006

So I went to go hang out in the fascinating town of Kankakee this weekend (town slogan: "we're not dead yet, even though it sure looks that way when you're driving to Cobb Park") for a bike race, the Cobb Park Criterium. Some friends of friends on the C-U Racing team were ridin' in the green & black and did pretty well. Jess done got herself 2nd place in the Women's Open category, sprintin' at the finish line here.
Here's Little Dan P. movin' up through the pack...
He started off in the back (bad start, or super-secret strategy?), but fear not - he gnawed on the pack for most of the 45 minutes, stayed out of the bizarre mid-race crash in the straightaway near the start/finish, pulled the pack for the last few laps, and took 2nd in the Cat 4/5 race.

And the last meaningful decent photo I have here - Luke lookin' Mean and Green midway through the race, with a strong ride as well.
Me? I got a pretty vicious sandal-tan sunburn,
... but that's about all that I have to say for myself. Congrats to the C-U Racing folks.
