Titolo: (CVC) Granite Road Race Fotos (Donne!!!)

Ok, here are the photos from the (CVC) Central valley classic road race, an
(NRC) event in Raymond California. It was overcast for the better part of
the day, so some photos are good, some not so great, but I hope to use
bright capture functions in my next camera. Everything went well, except one
girl crashed at the end of the race, and I just happened to be right there
when they brought her in as I was picking up my camera gear. I didn't take a
photo as that would of been inconsiderate at the moment, but I think she
recovered well. Her shorts were in tatters, nasty crash.
All the photos are here...

 Ok, here are the photos from
A (stupid?) question, Bruce.
Why are they all the time wearing helmets?
Is that imposed by regulation?
Or is it because they have a contract, to that effect, with some
sponsor?
Just curious.

It seems like almost the helmets are glued to their heads all the time, but
I managed to get some photos without the helmets. A lot of girls get out of
the vans fully dressed with helmets on, but some are headed to the bathroom,
the helmets off for the moment. Some teams like Webcor dress when they get
there, so those girls can be seen without helmets, and there are a few
random photos I got without helmets, but for the most part it's difficult to
get photos without the helmets anytime after the races are ready to start.
You must ask them to remove it, which sometimes they are reluctant to do. Of
course helmets are mandatory for racing. In fact children under 16 must wear
helmets statewide in California for any type of street riding, but adults do
not have to wear them, at least yet! I think it's strictly regulation, not
contract.

 the helmets off for the moment.
So, I take it you don't chase them so often down there.
Good!

Who won Gran Premio Brissago? Is it over yet?
Luperini?
thanks,
Bruce

 Luperini?
Was it on saturday, or today?
Are you implying that Megalon is still in bed, oversleeping, this
morning?

P.s. This very week a fello NG correspondent is coming to visit. We
shall go to see Fabiana's father, hoping to bargain out a couple of
framesets. You envious?

 framesets. You envious?
Its a sin to be envious of course, but I find it curiously interesting to be
visiting the little Tuscan champion again. Let me know how things went!
Best,
Bruce

Quante seghe!
Quando l'hai in testa e sei abituato ad averlo non lo togli per pochi 
minuti. Il tempo per un cappuccino o una foto, per intenderci.
E non dimenticare che, in fondo, anche le atlete sono donne: il casco fa 
sudare e  riduce i tuoi capelli a un disastro. Toglierlo in quelle 
condizioni rovina la propria immagine;-)

True, their hair can look like a mop, so perhaps after the race, its not a
great idea, but before the race, it would probably be better to remove the
helmet for the photo. As for the photos and cappuccino, now is a good time!
Megalon has just posted a lot of photos from Brissago! :-))
