It has been fun to watch the Giro de California
with all the new colors of the team kits
it feels as if I am watch WWF wrestling.
Been building bikes some nice and others
not so nice. Even got to build some
for the Lemonds.
The word is that the cold should break soon
it has been in the negatives for days.
More skiing and cycling to come think that
I am the only one in the Lacrosse valley that is not
going to the land of the sun for spring break.
I could sure get me some of that Upside Out
this spring.
Has anyone around here seen Tim? Tim! Where are you? I swear he said he was going to be here...
ReplyDeleteMaarrrrrcooooo . . .
ReplyDeleteIt must be getting close to spring; the weather forecasts are all over the place, and no where near accurate.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, maybe it isn't spring... there's no racing to be had!
Wow, that's nuts. I have no idea what I am doing for rides this weekend now . . . possibly snowy on Saturday, 58 on Sunday. Anybody for bowling?
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, who would you beat up if given the chance, Carey Hart or Corey Hart?
ReplyDeleteI almost miss the Teton forum... could you imagine the arguing that would be going on right about now? Between cancelled races, races without women's categories, Tyler being excluded from the TOC, Dempsey's "mudd-butt", and so on!?
ReplyDeleteI'd beat up Carey Hart. I mean Corey Hart is english AND wrote "sunglasses at night". But Carey Hart broke poor Pink's heart, and the constant "10-degree tilt" of his hat just cracks me.
ReplyDeleteThat would be beat to get slammed on a regular basis on your own blog, that's why there's no Teton forum anymore. I can't believe what he has done with the ACA . . . rumors abound.
ReplyDeleteI think Carey Hart and Pink deserved each other, I'm sad to see them split. Thank god there weren't any kids . . .
ReplyDeleteHow about Corey Hart v. Corey Haim? Who would you hit in that one?
Corey Haim, hands down. Then I'd take the sweet wheelchair he had in "Silver Bullet", and ride off into the sunset on that thing!
ReplyDeleteI'd beat up Corey Haim just because he's Canadian. Sad state of affairs when our strippers leave to work in Canada because their dollar is worth more.
ReplyDeletewhat's up bitches? i had an early meeting that just got out. TOC has been pretty epic.
ReplyDeleteI was getting worried that I was the only one here. These absentee blog landlords give me the heebie jeebies. You'd think there would be some alarm about a sudden burst of comments.
ReplyDeleteHats off to Scott Nydam. I remember doing the Estes Park Stage Race with him as a Cat 3.
corey hart is canadian.
ReplyDeletei thought he raced around but i wasn't sure if it was my imagination.
ReplyDeleteNew DVR finally arriving today, so hopefully I'll get to see todays TOC stage. The attempts at humor on the cyclingnews live feed are killing me
ReplyDeleteLet's talk politics . . . what the? Who is this JCNA?
ReplyDelete4. JCNA letter of February 13, 2008
· Requesting ACA "focus its efforts on senior and master issues,"
that it "not proceed with junior programs at this time."
· Request tabled for consideration
tomorrow still looks nice, maybe nordic skis will be the call on saturday/sunday.
ReplyDeleteI found this, and this.
ReplyDeleteNice try there Tim, you can't just default to the weather as a topic!
ReplyDeleteUsing junior racing as a turf battle, isn't that like fighting over the kids in a divorce? Will somebody please think about the children?
Deep down, I really want to support junior racing, but I have had such shitty experiences with junior racing (mostly, almost entirely, on the parents side) at races I've worked, and even races I've just been a spectator, that I personally don't want to put any effort or dollars towards those people. It's probably the classic case of "a few bad apples...", but whatever.
ReplyDeleteI'll still root for that little kid riding a 10-speed older than he is, with a t-shirt and sideways helmet, before supporting those "baseball parents".
Parents involved with their kids' sports are usually messed up.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see more kids involved in cycling, but you don't have to throw them into racing right away.
Seriously. I used to ride my bike ALL the time. I mean, you should have seen some of the "sick" jumps we made. Or just plain riding back and forth on the road. Or driving the parents insane by wearing tracks into the yard from endless trips around the house.
ReplyDeleteMy parents used to send me on month long bike tours back in the day to get rid of me for the summer. I miss those days, that was some fun nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling pretty let-down that there hasn't been any mass-whining or protests about the newly elected CU president.
ReplyDeleteThis totally counts as politics, right?
ReplyDeleteCU has a president? I figured there would be some sort of Grand Master of Parties or something. Do they still have classes there?
ReplyDeleteThe new classes are all about the petroleum industries, including searching for new reserves.
ReplyDeleteOh sweetness...
ReplyDeleteHere you go, Seth wanted some conspiracy stories on the satelite shoot-down.
I'm pretty much speachless, since I couldn't even make this stuff up, I'm not that creative.
I think the School of Mimes has that well covered.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is shining, it's not snowing . . . OK Tim, go!
Great research, the blog has been updated.
ReplyDeleteI want to be a "Councillor of Earth" as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it is an elected position if you want to get started with your campaign.
ReplyDeletejunior cycling is too focused on racing. why not get the fatties out there and burn a calories instead of playing halo?
ReplyDeleteDo they still make any "actual reality" games that you can get out and play with your friends?
ReplyDeletewhat? like soccer on capture the flag?
ReplyDeleteI like "smear the queer", or dodgeball.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of putting together a kickball team for the league here.
I like the picture of Blazer, or is that Lazer..
ReplyDeleteNope, that's just plain ol' me...
ReplyDelete...the picture is from the summer, so I was a lot more tan then.
ReplyDeletewow, an active host, hooray!
ReplyDeleteisn't that guy's name gay-zer?
ReplyDeleteYou just say that because I'm not there to crush you with my massive, sexy, oiled-up peck muscles.
ReplyDeleteMan, fall asleep at the wheel for just a few minutes and look where it goes . . .
ReplyDeleteHard to play along @ work with bikes and bike racing on the computer
ReplyDeleteEveryone else gets a smoke break... you deserve a cycling break!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Devin! You win!
ReplyDeleteAs payment for being such a great host, you get to pick where we land tomorrow, and who's email box fills up with comments!
So choose away!
seth, did you have the white people link up before this week? i love that site!
ReplyDeleteLooks like that time is rapidly approaching. Where do we go tomorrow Devin?
ReplyDeleteI need to find the "I Know Black People" skit from Chappelle show to complement the vast knowledge of racial preferences I am compiling.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia . . . the sunshine state . . . gorgeous, gorgeous! I'm glad I don't get paid $6k/year to take part in that suffer fest.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to get that close to Danielson anyway... he'll suck the form right out of you.

ReplyDeleteanother good one.
When the man (Devin in this case) says jump we say, "Where to?"
