Gesink's outside leg looks too straight. Almost hyper-extended. Is his saddle that high? Wonder if he was "hovering" out of the saddle at the time you took your pic?
That climb looked awfully painful on TV. But you NCCCers are smiling all the way to the top. Way to go!!!
Lou....

Looks like an awesome good time. I was looking for NC3 jerseys on my DVR rerun, glad Jeff and Wade were showing colors. Question: did anyone see them, now that we know where they were at the end? I'll look again...

You can see us in the background right when Gesink looks like he may go down on the final turn. We are pretty easy to see as one of our heads seems to stand out for its egg-like appearance.

It really was a great time.

I knew there was a reason you climbed Mt. Baldy, Wade.

I played it back. Steph, Wade, Ursula, and Jeff look resplendent and what a great vantage point as Gesink almost crashed into the four of them. Wade, I think your slapping the boards was what spurred him to surge ahead to the finish line. Please be there at the top of Pine Creek to spur us up those 20%'rs on Sunday.
