Bike races! We just had another edition of the “Butterfly Criterium” in Pacific Grove last Sunday. (Greg LeMond raced in the BC as a “Junior” many, many years ago.) The thing about “world class” bike racers is that they are NOT “physically normal human beings”; so don’t do the disservice of contrasting yourself with them. Anyhow, you’ve now got your bike all tuned-up and are out riding…that’s all it takes. And sure, Emma Pooley won the race, and is studying for her PhD…but can SHE create a gorgeous “28thirty”? I doubt it!
