Bloggy Avoided Creeping Out Most Of The Pro Peloton…

… Except for Craig Lewis because as most of you know, Craig and I went to the same high school and Bloggy’s oldest sister used to live next to his parents (and to an extent, the racer himself, as one could glimpse TT bikes hanging on the garage walls like mounted elk and moose heads in a lodge). Therefore, I felt a strange urge to not only root for him but to capture the elusive rider in action. I was certain he was the only rider from Champion System in the race so I figured the bright orange and blue would be easy to spot in a crowd. I wasn’t disappointed. To be honest, I thought Craig had a chance to get a podium spot and was bummed to see he didn’t make it to the end but he’s always been a humble pro and took my stalking with a grain of salt and pepper spray. I know, this blog mentions pepper spray a lot. Here are some miscellaneous pics I took of the race. Look closely and you might see something kind of weird in one particular shot…
