That was a paceline! 30 mph. Yeesh.

Congratulations!

It was downhill (mostly) and we had a tailwind. Here is the only pic I got before my phone died at the top of Gore Pass. This is why it is called Rabbit Ears Pass.

Well done!

Fourth place in the overall standings at the local-ish mountain bike race series. Mostly because I show up and don't quit, but I think that says something.

Pro-cycling geeking out this morning. We will be physically following the US Pro Cycling Challenge in Colorado starting August 19. It's Jens Voight's farewell tour and I just bought tickets to watch the opening in Aspen with the Trek Factory Racing fan club. We are also volunteering on Monarch Mountain, the Queen Stage (best climb) for the tour. Little by little it's seeming more real.

Jens Voigt is freakin' awesome. My favorite quote: "Shut up legs! Do what I tell you to do." Followed up by a close second "If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win." and third "Having things organized is for small-minded people. Genius controls chaos."

I can't wait to see what he does after retiring.

"Having things organized is for small-minded people. Genius controls chaos."

Well that's a little rude.

 

[Road Guy]

he does look like an asshole

Jens Voight is full of crazy quotes. Appreciate that this is a non-native english speaker who makes a LOT of jokes.

 

[Road Guy]

Why is he wearing a painters cap? I think they give those out at sherwin Williams

 

[csb]

That is a cycling cap!

That is a cycling cap!

that explains it... he doesn't realize he's supposed to wear a helmet and has fallen on his head a few too many times. Rudeness forgiven.

 

[Road Guy]

I know these guys are tremendous athletes but they sure do lack a lot of "manly" traits.....

they are going to be the first to go when the famine strikes...

It's the lack of testosterone from sitting on their balls all the time.

Writes an obviously small-minded person! My desk at work speaks volumes!

And some didn't have two balls... Juan Pelotta.

Dude! This would be like me talking trash about some NASCAR driver with a quote taken out of context. Leave Jensie alone!

 

[Road Guy]

another manly trait, always being defended by women

If you aint first your last!

 

[csb]

Don't you have a Huffy to tune up?

but all the Nascar drivers wear the appropriate PPE... if they are being stupid, well it's just cause they are stupid... I was giving an out!
