Motorpacing is cool...

even for the guy riding the scooter. I motorpaced Kat Carroll around Nicasio Sunday morning on Kelly S.'s scooter. Holy christ, that girl can pedal a bike. No wonder she's on the...what the hell is it called? The womens national development-go race in europe a couple of times a year-super studette team, right? And that Aarons pro team, too. I've motorpaced racers a bunch of times before, but Kat was definitely cranking out the watts. Since it was a nice-ish Sunday morning, there were tons of recreational riders out Nicasio way, and we passed all of them. At least once. It was great to see the look on their faces in the mirrors as we blasted past. A couple of guys tried to jump on at one point, and i wanted to tell them to back off since they really didn't know what we were doing, and it's probably not the safest thing to have some weekend warrior sitting on your wheel at 30+ when you need to slow down or avoid something in the road. Not to worry, the one guy only lasted about 28 seconds before he blew, his pal not even that long. Kat is leaving for a 2 wk stint in europe tomorrow...i wish her the best of luck and hope the session behind the scooter helped a bit.
