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....

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.
