Captech and Simon the Ragdoll

Captech Classic is this cool race in downtown Richmond. It goes up hill, then down, then back up again. I am great at going downhill but uphill is not exactly my forte... anyway I did manage to get my first ever call-up at an NRC race which was pretty awesome, apparently I am the "McGuire Danger Woman"! I did not finish this hard windy race, but Taitt did which was pretty awesome. Brenda Lyons was second, which was also awesome. Next year I will give it another go, with more attentive positioning and better preparation.

I took some action shots of the men's race while I was in the feed zone at the top of the hill, but they came out blurry and/or of the completely wrong person. It was a typically insane pro men's race to watch - lots and lots of attrition over the course of the 2+ hours.

Anyway, the absolute coolest thing about this race was our host house, which belonged to Greg, Tricia, and Simon. Here is Simon:

Here is happy Taitt with patient Simon:

Simon is a Ragdoll kitty. I want one.
