Suffering and the SS

I had to go to Dayton for work, so I have been out of pocket for a few days. Here is the latest:

I was brutally beaten in a break in Louisville this past weekend. Like a dummy I went with a move that countered a prime on lap 3 and the guys that I was with were ready to roll, so we stayed clear for an hour. You think to yourself, "Wow! That is tough". Not so much. It was 400 degrees, fat kids don't like extreme heat and I ran out of fluid with 20 minutes left to go. Not cool. In the end I sat on the back of the break like a girl for 20 minutes and did not contest the sprint. I will have to decide between shopping at Ann Taylor now, or more appropriately Lane Bryant.

My man the Nazi, or Scott Spees (SS), won the Garrett Wonders Memorial in Westerville Ohio last week. That is a great race and Scott is a pimp. Anyone who can live with the daily banterings of trash talk that Whitlock spews deserves to win on that alone, on top of that, he is cool and deserves it. I asked him to provide photographic evidence of said win, but his wife Val was too busy saying "Holy shit he won" to take a picture. Racing with Scott is one of the things that I miss most about Ohio, well that and the fact that they actually have bike races to do.

I guess I should rephrase that last comment on races in Ohio. I went to the Team Dayton training race that I used to do on Tuesday evening to get in a little racing and rage release on Whitlock. While at work on Tuesday, I look out the window at 2:30 and it is pouring. Not a big deal, because by 3:30 it is done and dry by 5. The race does not start until 7, so I figure if I hurry I can get a ride in. Not too be. Apparently, rain in the afternoon is bad mojo for racing and there was no one from Team Dayton to open up the park and have the race, just a bunch of people hanging outside the gate wondering what the hell is wrong with them for not having the race. How gay is that?

In other breaking news, the liars box should be en-route. It will look nice with the Dura Ace on my bike now. Pictures will be coming soon.

More importantly, T-Rent raced outside of his area code. He is close to un-corking something huge and hopefully, bike racing related. He is threatening to go to Hyde Park soon. Hopefully it doesn't rain a week before so that they don't cancel it. You never know in Ohio apparently.

That is all for today. Check back for DA/SRM pics on the slowest Cannondale ever sold.
