Drew Edsall and Chris Holley were the next racers back. The two looked good and came through chat- ting. Apparently they were enthralled in the conversation because they missed the turn and added a few sec- onds to the lead groups gap. Simmons said it doesn't matter how many times he tells the racers not to go through the start/finish until the end, there are always riders that make the mistake. David Welch came through just a few seconds off the second group. The Cutthroat “Support Crew” was having too much fun, if too much fun can be had.

Talk with your legs, not your mouth.

4. What's your scariest moment rac- ing a bicycle?

When you hear the crunch of metal. It’s like when you see a gigantic flash of lightning, you know a bowel shaking round of thunder is coming. The other scary moment is when I've just gone for a prime or done a big effort and someone really strong counter attacks. Then I want to cry.
