Picture of the weekAs usual, its an Earl Basden IslandStats image taking line honors in the photo category. Darren "Shakee" Glasford put in a great effort to win the time trial on Sunday. We're still trying to figure out if it was the new bike, the aero helmet or the hanging out tongue that did the trick.
