Tough race. No sock sightings. This makes YGD angry. I will strike down upon thee with furious..ahh too cliche. Nevermind. Onto DROPPAGE PICS!!! Thanks Julie Elliott

Take note MABRA. Next time you get dropped, give a brother a hand. Kudos to you. Wait..have we seen this before from the same rider? I'll hit you up on Google+. You seem like a guy who I'd want as my friend

The main culprit here really is Brian Sjoberg, aka Sobe. Rist, after Coppi, can probably start thinking of punching in his upgrade card and Hall has just recently found new successes in road races, although has been consistent this summer. 


However, Sobe has been winning almost every race he enters for a solid month. This guy has crossfitted his way to every podium in the mid-atlantic.


Even his kids think he needs to email Tracey Rankin. (used with permission)



So...kids sizes now available?!!


Congrats to these dudes. Great MABRAians who earned the successes with lots of hard work.
