Time is standing still!!!!!!!

All of the clocks in my house have stopped......I think that the world is coming to an end. Armageddon is here!!!!!

Bill Stone has done a time trial. Even worse, he has publicly acknowledged the fact. This is the man who taught me to never confess and he goes and does this. This is like finding out that Mighty Mouse isn't real. I offer the supporting material at Truesport. It is a sad day when the biggest proponent for anti TT'ing caves to the pressure of his new team. Even worse when he admits it.

It is that crazy liberal Druber. I blame him. That can be the only explanation. He would never do this on his own. The axis of evil is at work.

The G-Man & I.....beacons of hope

I talked to the G-Man the other day and during our conversation, we came to the realization that we felt like the world is falling apart. There are parts of the world starving, people in need from earthquake damage and flooding, a world at war with no end in sight. What are we doing to make the world better?

Here at home, fuel has hit an all time high and people right here at home are losing their homes at an alarming rate to foreclosures. There has never been a more dismal period in this country and the future leaders running for office don't leave much hope for a better tomorrow.

Someone has to act. That someone is G-Man and I. We are going to pitch in. We are going to do our part.

We decided that we can't be these old guys who bitch, but offer no solutions. We racked our brains and decided, what cause can we really offer our support too, where can we make a difference? We knew where we could end the suffering:






Please join us in our fight to save the Ta-Ta's. We can only do it with your help. Offer up a free breast screening today. You can help.

Maybe I should get into singing.....

Since I am too slow to ride, maybe I should look into a singing career.

SSSSSSlllllooooowwwww.

I am slow. In fact, I am extremely slow.

For the past few weeks, I have been doing the group ride, but it has not ended up with me in much of a group, primarily because I am way to slow to ride with the group. I have been riding once or twice a week, but apparently, that doesn't constitute enough training to remove me from the slow ranks. I have however progressed from the horrifically pathetic ranks to extremely slow.

Here are some marks of progress that I have noticed on my journey from horrifically pathetic to extremely slow:

1) While I still cry during rides, there are no longer enough tears to block out the information from the SRM, which has lightened the load that I carry in my jersey pocket since I no longer require a squeegee to clear it off.

2) I hit a non-wind aided top speed of 20 the other day on level ground. I called the folks at Guinness, but apparently they don't do records anymore, they just sell beer

3) No one suggests that I leave the 6:00 Tuesday ride start at 5:15 so that I can make it over Dragline with the group anymore (5:25 was strongly suggested though)

I will be on the lookout to see what it will take to make the transition from extremely slow to just plain slow. If I figure it out, I could progress once again.

A new title for Skip

Let it now be known, that Greg "Skip" Frasier is here to for, only to be referred to as the Punisher. This title is bestowed unto him due to the proper ass kicking he has been laying down on the group rides, with monstrous pulls at insane speeds after references to the leash that his wife has on him pinching his neck too hard. It is this leash that has forced him to be home quickly and thus has him punishing us with insane speeds to make our ride fit his schedule. All hail the Punisher.

Evolution of Dance

I had no idea that Richie had made it on youtube, but here he is. Only the Chi town dance machine can move like this guy.

So you are supposed to train in the winter!

T-Rent and Richie came down for a few days of riding, affectionately called Fat Kids Camp. I have done 8 rides since Hilly of last year, so I was primed for the event. I guess you could say that I was sufficiently tapered.

I have heard from a lot of folks that the time you put in over the winter pays off in spades in the spring and summer. "Do the base in the winter, so that you can work on the specifics in the spring" they say. I am starting to think that there might be some truth to that. I have been getting a proper ass whoppin' every time I have been out this year (8 times).

I guess I am from the old school, race yourself into shape school of thought, but that doesn't seem to be the way to go anymore. I did notice that my Achilles was in agony at the end of the ride yesterday.

So here is the key take away(or Cliff Notes Version)for those of you at home. If you haven't been training, or touched your bike in two weeks, a 230+ mile weekend isn't too swift.

Now I can't walk up the stairs.

West Coast

So the G-Man is pretty much settled in Phoenix. I talked to him last weekend and he knocked out 2nd in a crit the previous weekend. Pretty impressive stuff for a guy that thinks that the Tour of Flanders is waaaaayyyyyy too early in the season.

More importantly, he is still hunting his prey. He was telling me about taking a tour of a 5.5 million dollar home in the foothills, so he could mack on the agent. He knows how to figure out what a big commission looks like. In a nutshell, the shack had more enclosed outdoor space than his last apartment, but more importantly he said, had a built in deep fryer. You never can tell when you just gotta have some wings.

He did tell me that riding out there is a bit scary. Something about huge groups and F-350's.

Stay tuned for an interview with the G-Man on how to mack Realtor chicks!

I'm Back

To steal from Kid Rock & the song Forever:

I'm back (back) the fog has lifted
The earth has shifted
and raised the gifted
You knew I'd be back
so pack your bone And hit the road jack
cause daddy's home


.....more to come....soon....

Still on the Island of E'ville,
