Cat 3 finish in Cambridge on Sundaythis is the lead group,
but I seem to have found my way out of the frame
We're now on the fourth-straight day of Tour of the Battenkill-related posts. I'm getting record traffic off of google search for Tour of the Battenkill, so I'm going to go with it.
For your viewing pleasure today, are the only photos I've seen thus far from my race on Saturday. These were captured by Stacey on Meeting House Road. As you'll recall from Monday's race recap, Meeting House Road is where the race came apart: about 50 riders came onto the road together. Seven riders were left at the front of the race on the other end.

I took these photos on Saturday morning, before my race:

are there more cat 3 photos posted somewhere?
i was in the 2nd group on the road. we got close to you guys at one point but that last little climb sealed our fate. we were mostly bigger guys for whom the successive climbs just killed.
My "personal photographer" shot these, they're all I've got. Sorry.
Nice job in the race, sorry we had to put the nail in your coffin, but those hills are really hard.
