Nope...its acceptable.....clearly looks like "I need to put my hands on top of my head cause I feel like I'm gonna die" move.

I agree - I couldn't even imagine sprinting after that climb...

Len,
Wow. I'm honestly surprised that you didn't get DQ'd.
That has been much more seriously enforced the past few years.
Everyone...Keep your hands on the bars. especially when you are right in front of the official's table.

Congrats Len!!
You have been going well all season. keep it up.
BTW don't let Cole discourage you from doing what your doing. He can't be the expert on ALL things cycling. Is there a post in the MRC forum he's not willing to voice an opinion on?

My apologies Jim.
I didn't mean to offend you. I can see now how rude I was.
I should probably just let our newbie racers learn the hard way what might get them DQ'd.
You can voice any opinion you like. But I wasn't offering an one, just sharing a fact. You yourself have lined up enough times to have heard the officials instructions at least a few times: "if your hands come off the bars, you get DQ'd." I think you were even there at Wells last year when a guy won one of the early races but got DQ'd for throwing his arms up across the line.
Len,
Like I said before, that performance was amazing. I still say your an animal.
(That's just my opinion, I hope that doesn't get jim all pissed off again.)
