Team E'Ville Jersey

Here is the Team E'ville Jersey. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. I am kicking around working with the Evansville bike club to make it the new club jersey if they are interested.

Team E'Ville

I have not been very diligent about posting lately.

I still need to put something together from Hilly and I owe everyone the farewell interview with G-Man. The good news is, he arrived unscathed and I can now do a two part interview about the exit from amateur status in Ohio and how he is doing in the pro ranks in Arizona. Stay tuned for that.

A few weeks ago, I told Suzuki Shane that I would help put Team E'ville together for his assault on the RAIN. I have no interest in riding that long or far (it is like 8 crits combined), but I would be a D.S. like Riis. I got with Mario and developed a kit. Actually, I told Mario what I wanted and he developed a kit. That being said, I am going to look into making it the club jersey for the Evansville bike club. It is really cool. I am going to get it in a format to post here on the blog, so that everyone can leave a comment.

G-Man is turning pro!

I have both sad and exciting news to report.

G-Man is taking his game professional. I know, you are thinking, "how does second place in a category 3 race in Indy get someone a pro deal?". This has nothing to do with riding his bike and everything to do with his ability to ride Cougars. Locally, the Ohio Cougar has been formidable prey, but is one that he has come to understand and easily tame. Having tamed the small mid-western Cougar population, he has decided to hunt wilder, more dynamic prey (i.e. silicone enhanced). He is dropping the amateur hunting status and heading to Phoenix, Arizona to tame the silicone beast. He has obtained a new Cougar hunting license focused on the DD class, strictly professional with independent wealth, who can provide him with a massive coronary by the time he is 40.

Good hunting my friend, we will miss you.

P.S. Stay tuned for a farewell interview with the G-Man prior to his departure.

A Promotion!!!

With the cycling season winding to a close, most of us are left pondering what might have been, making plans to be next years new "Eddy Merckx/Lance Armstrong" or simply have become sick of cycling. With all that has, and is, going on in professional cycling right now, it is pretty easy to see how we could all get a little disenfranchised with it right now. I think that is why the doping community has tried to adopt a similar system the Catholic church.

I am not saying that the dopers will end up lusting after 5 year old boys, although they say the roid rage is weird, but I am saying that they have instituted a hierarchy to help them in their quest to take on the UCI and WADA, but more importantly, remain mainstream in cycling. Velonews covers are an important part of taking doping mainstream. According to Sockguy, Dr. Fuentes has been named "Pope of Dope". Regionally and locally, they are instituting players in the network, trying to take on "The Man". The original doper is being promoted to fight "The Man". We now must refer to the original doper as Cardinal Barker, head of the Category 3 diocese of doping & lunacy.

Brad Huff Tour of Missouri Crash Remix 1.0

This is a crazy view of Brad Huff's crash at the Tour of MO. It is completely nuts.

Sunday Stroll

So I got out this morning for a nice fun leisurely ride. Suzuki Shane, KP Duty & the Hammer and I kicked around easy. I finally had those guys where I wanted them and was able to smack them around at will. They were lucky I didn't go all Doper on them.

It seems that KP Duty & SS did the E'ville club century on Thursday and again on Saturday. They were whining about being tired and sore, but after hearing how Jinglehammer laid the smack down in MO over the weekend, I told them to leave the hem on their skirts a little longer next time. Since they were both wasted from the weekends efforts, they had to put up with my being a smartass, but I will be re-payed eventually for sure.

At the RR in MO, it seems that Josh Carter got away in the RR with one other guy. Hammer takes off in Roscoe P. Coltrain pursuit with a Jelly Belly pro, who after chasing for a bit, decides that the smart thing to do would be to let the field come back to them, since they weren't gaining much time. Hammer went back to the field and promptly attacked them again. Alone. Now he did not have some Div III pro to distract him. Then he put his head down and rode across to the two leaders. Alone. Then he turned the screws and got rid of one of the front two. Unfortunately, it wasn't Josh "did I mention I can sprint" Carter, who got him in the end. Aside from bridging, alone in case you didn't catch that part, he is now one point shy of a Cat 1 upgrade. For those just tuning in, he was a Cat 5 in March. He is threatening to take up cyclocross now. Lord only knows the devastation he can lay out there.

I did invite him to go to the Hilly with us, so I am sure that we can derail his career in one weekend.

Transition to Tri-Geek

Now that I have had some time to reflect on the past season, I have decided to take up triathlons. I know, I have to run and swim, but I have found the perfect training program to help me make the transition. I have reached out to the swimming coach in the attached video, to begin my training. I should be off of the water wings by spring and possibly can go without the swim cap by fall.

Maybe I should just follow the lead in the video and look into getting Craig Watson and I into the Beijing games. Told you I could use this in the blog Craig!
