Whenever the pros come to town, a lot of us cheer instead for the local amateurs who beat up on us all season long. Maybe it's some regional pride at work, though it's also likely that we'll feel better about losing if the dudes (and dudettes) we lose to every weekend open cans of pro level whoopass when the occasion arises.
Chuck Hutcheson (Battley Harley-Davidson / Sonoma) found the occasion at Saturday's Clarendon Cup. VeloNews has a write-up of Chuck's feats of strength:
Hutchinson (sic) had escaped alone just before the Clarke group rejoined the field, and had been joined by Luca Damiani (Kenda) and Sergey Greshkin (Amore & Vita). For the next 20 laps, Hutchinson’s saga would capture most of the crowd’s attention as the group sought to lap the field and all but secure a top-10 finish among some of the country’s best criterium riders. But just as the group’s chances looked best, Hutchinson slid out in the course’s final left-hander.
We wanted you to crush it, Chuck. And we spell your name right. It's not Hutchison. It's N-O-R-R-I-S.

If you have a shot that you'd like to see as a Featured Photo on GamJams.net, send it in. We try to update on Mondays or Tuesdays with a photo from the previous weekend, so push a few our way as soon as you wipe down your bike and/or your tripod. And no, you don't need to be a pro or even need to take professional pictures. Whatever shows it like it was works great here.
So have at it.
