This past weekend I went up to Rome with my cycling teammates to participate in the Siege of Rome, a stage race in Rome, GA. I think it’s fair to say that our team dominated the competitive 4/5 field of racers. Just read Robert’s race report. The results aren’t final for GC standings, but we were 3rd in the team time trial, then I took 6th or 7th in the criterium, and then I took second place in the final road race on Sunday, so chances are good that I will be among the top 3 for the stage race.

Update: I took 1st overall with a total time of 3:43:34.  I won by eight seconds.

Here’s a picture of what I think is the prettiest looking single speed bike I’ve ever seen.

Not that I’ll ever really be in a position to use such a bike extensively, but it’s just so darn nice looking. The next bike purchase will most likely be a time trial bike, but this probably won’t occur until I’m out of law school.
