I would also not choose a sissy NASCAR driver as a buddy in a bar fight either....,

Look who I ran into last night at the Snowmass Rodeo. The man himself!

 

[Ble_PE]

^Yea, I have no clue who that is.

 

[Road Guy]

famous bicycle person?

 

[FLBuff PE]

That is Jens Voight, the person we were talking about earlier.

 

[Road Guy]

j/k if he has a Metallica shirt on he is okay in my book....

am I the only one who thought this may be an image of brachioproctic insertion practice in response to the word goats?

It is fun/surreal to see teams of cyclists that I watch at the Tour de France riding the same roads I do. I love that they start the US Pro Challenge in Aspen. The pro teams usually get here a week before the start to train, so there are lots of opportunities to meet/see the pros.

The first year of the USPCC we went to watch at Rabbit Ears Pass. It was amazing to see the arch they road under, the official vehicles and then finally the cyclists. We just kept pointing and yelling names and then when George Hincapie came by, I shrieked his name in an octave I can't replicate. He looked over and waved. It was amazing. Each year since has been just as exciting.

I'm going today to buy window paint, markers and poster board. If I'm following the entire thing, we are doing this thing all out. I'm thinking we'll try harder this year to meet with some of the development teams, so a Jelly Belly poster is in order. I'm also thinking a Phil and Paul poster is needed. We've already got Shut up, legs, shirts.

Hicapie Racing Development Team is here as well. Meet the young riders, then in a few years you can say "I knew them when..."

I told someone that the Bissell Team had to clean carpets each night to earn their keep. They looked at me and then it all clicked. Two years ago, while stalking the BMC bus, it was neat to see the younger riders so approachable and excited to meet with any fans.

^CSB you're a biking groupie!

 

[csb]

Guilty as charged.

 

[FLBuff PE]

Jens is super approachable.

 

[Road Guy]

F'Awesome

My buddy met him last year and had him sign the top tube of his bike. What you may ask? Why "SHUT UP LEGS" of course. Then he had the frame re-sprayed & sealed so it will last forever.

To all the haters in this thread, I'm making a list. And you're on it. You know who you are. You do not want to be on my list.

As my buddy says, I ride 100 miles in the mountains, which means I can kick your ass all day long and never get tired.

Not that I would ever advocate violence.

(but you're on the list, m#&^*f&*#^er. Me & Jens Voigt are coming for you.)

 

[Road Guy]

the least scary group of people on this planet are 100 mile a weekend warrior bicycle riders, trust me..

especially the sound of your little bike shoes when you stop in a quick trip and click your heels all around the tile floor...

:leghump:

Hmm. How well does your bike work at 14k feet and about a 120" snow base with unmarked terrain? In the words of Mr. Sherlock Holmes.....catch.....you.....later.
