So I get a call Friday night from Barker that it isn't supposed to be totally freezing on Saturday, and I am to report by 9:30 for bike practice. Since the club ride was across the river in Henderson, we decided to hook up and ride in Indiana. We coordinated getting me to leave the house, and the heat, with a phone call and I rode out to meet him Saturday morning. He was wrong, it was freezing when I left.
Now, I am way behind on hours this month from Rich's plan, but I have been riding more than any other winter, and I am still 30+ pounds lighter than last year, so I did not expect to take the ass schlackin' that I received from that skinny f**ker. Apparently he was "just going easy" on a couple of the climbs that we did. He had to go easy after them so that the fat kid, yours truly, could catch back up. You have to be carefull riding with the original doper, he's on the stuff, whatever the stuff is.
After we went over the biggest climb we were going to do for the day, we were finally allowed to ride slower and talk. It turns out that Barker was in Spain years & years ago, and by virtue of being in Spain was part of Operacion Puerto. At least the fact that he was in Spain, is not French and raced a bike, makes him guilty, although he has no idea who Dr. Fuentes is. He is banned from a start in the Tour this year. The media and the French have taken the overwhelming evidence into account, and banned him from ASO races, no Paris-Nice, no Roubaix, etc. Much like Pierro, who had a get out of jail free card, he is guilty, just because. While he was saddened by the news, he is still eligible for Hillsborough Roubaix, so his season is back on track, the original doper lives on.
In all, it was a good day, although it took me 25 minutes to get warmed up again after we stopped at BP. The original doper can roll. Look out for him in '07. He is still in the 155-157lb range and looks like he can rip it. I think that he might have contracted the HIV from Trent. I told him not to look Trent in the eye.
Anyway, check out this pic of the original doper from last year. I think that he will go faster than this in '07.
Anyway, always remember, when the offical says go, rip it!
