Yesterday marked my long ride ever, coming in at approximately 139 miles as a part of the Rapha Gentlemen’s Race. We headed out to the beach (Lincoln City) on Friday evening and stayed in a suite at the Inn at Spanish Head thanks to team president Jim who served as sugar daddy for the evening. [...]

Here are some various photos I’ve come across from the stage race this weekend.
Here’s one from teammate Justin:
Cornering in the criterium
And a few from Ironclad:
At the front in the criterium
The view from the top of the big climb. We came from all the way down at the bottom.
A couple from Crystal David-Ross:
Up near the front in the criterium
Heading into a corner
And a bunch from Jon Prettyman:
Top 10 GC called to the line before the criterium
And everyone else filling in behind. Big field.
Leading into a corner. Guys on the outside need to do some work on finding lines through the corner.
I think that's me flying by.
Up near the front, chasing down something or another
Taking a corner tight to the curb
Holding on to come in 4th in the final stage
The GC podium

That should be enough for a 3 upgrade at last.

Unfortunately, no. I came into this year with 0 upgrade points and 3 mass starts in the last 12 months since I basically had no season last year. There are no GC upgrade points for a 4-3 upgrade (only 3-2 and 2-1) so all I get from the weekend upgrade-wise is 3 mass starts and 6 points for 4th on Sunday. If the GC upgrade points applied to 4s, I’d be 5-8 points away from an upgrade, but oh well. This will motivate me to get some more results.
