California Bicycle Racing (CBR)

Most know him by is nickname, Turtle. Anyone who's raced next to him knows that he races quite the opposite of how a turtle races. Anyway, I keep forgetting to discuss why he's such a menace to local racing. Whenever I see him in front of me, I immediately gotta register this guy as a threat because he can deliver it to the finish line. If he was some pudgy noob like Chot Slirts, then I'd dismiss it as my needing to move up and advance around the noob. Not Turtle, I gotta watch this clown like I gotta watch MJ, pick any Yepez, JP, Alexi and Jorge. I was reminded of his athleticism earlier today when he beat me at the Brea crit (more on that later). I get to rest for a day (Monday), and then I gotta deal with him again on Tuesday at Eldo...yay. Maybe he'll decide to ride down the coast of California again, or maybe he'll ride through the Mojave desert and use Tuesday as his launch pad. I bet I'll get no such luck.
