February or July?



I'm a little confused by the weather. Am I really supposed to working on my tan in February? Shorts & jersey just doesn't seem right for the last day of the month. But I won't complain too much since I know we'll pay for it eventually in one form or another. Anyway I managed to get out & have a good bike practice in anticipation of this weeks up coming bike game. I figure it was warm enough yesterday for everyone but my mother-in-law Debbie to get outside. For her I worry it might have still been a little too cold.

When I pulled into my drive my neighbor immediately hit me up to help her load some furniture. Being neighborly & wanting to help the rainbows out I sad sure. Well it quickly went wrong. First item loaded A.O.K. Then came the dresser. Got it about half way into the truck when the drawers shot out @ the speed of sound! I believe I actually heard the sonic boom. My first instinct was to Run! But my feet were locked in place as I stared wide eye & the broken aftermath. Well long story short I spent the next 1.5 hours rebuilding drawers. Not exactly the way I had planned on spending my evening. But shit happens & I got everything patched back together.

Skip has made a return to blogging. Once again trying to confuse everyone with numbers that only have meaning to him. So here are some numbers for him. I figure I can put 10 dynes pretty easily sitting in the saddle. Or 100 erg's if I put my mind to it. Or more interestingly I average about 2 galileos when going from a stand still.

Since I can't keep up with Sophias cuteness or the shear anticipation of the semi annual Skip blog, I've added a few more bells & whistles to dazzle my readers. I've put up a few more links & added music videos which I'll swap out every so often. The first one is Outkast for my Hip Hop wife & her mother.

    Would somebody tell Einstein/Skippy that his computer wattage testing means nothing.
    Get out there and race, that is the true test! And has anyone actually seen him on the road? Can we really believe his training videos from the Bat Cave or is that simply his cunning computer skills? I can attest that I have not seen him on the road! Wait…okay I have not been on the road myself but I am sure he has not either.

  4. I have unveiled a set of top secret training routes this year, and I see very few cyclists out there besides my team, guess no one else is hard enough. Yet.

  5. Hard enough? I haven't seen anyone on my top secret routes. Besides not seeing anyone means poo. Factors include time of day you ride & where you ride. I guess riding rollers as much as Skip does though says something about a level of dedication or insaneness. Real hard is in the dark & cold day in & day out.

  6. I don't think Skip knows what "hard" even means or feel like! I am on Steve's training plan and I also enjoy fixing women's drawers like the Lion.

  9. To comment to you guys is probably not even worth it, but what the hell. Number one is that I do not live at HOME mooching off others and have a family that I must provide for. I have a one year old who does require some attention and at this point I very much enjoy more than riding. I work atleast 57 hours a week, every week. I have not taken a vacation of more than a few days in three years. I work every Saturday. I run a multi-million dollar car dealership. I could go on but I will not. I should be in better shape but my time as a racer may be over. I do remember when I rode and I easily kicked most of your asses including Jimmy and Skippy!

  10. WOW WOW WOW! Kids, sit back down. Lets face it your all a bunch of pussy's compared to me. Soft & weak the lot. Hard, ha you all need Viagra to know what is means to be a hard bike man. Now you guys can take shots @ me HA! Remember we ride to have F.U.N. But if you want to keep jawing go ahead I think its hilarious & thought I needed to stir the pot some.

  11. When your baby comes you will understand and if Skippy ever has to move out on his own he might uderstand somewhat. He already knows a little about how marriage changes things since he is "promised".

    You all are soft bitches! The time will come when you have to represent we will then see who is "hard". Shane I to feel your pain but dont let these young pukes discourage you. Just show up for cross season in the best shape of your life and hand them their asses. TM

  15. Jimmy S Thumbstein I almost cried when you hurt your thumb, when you were unemployed, when you had to have The WSPS move in so you could sleep together and cuddle for warmth. I could go on but I won't. I am fat but that could change, you are short and that will not change! You are so small I am going to give you and Skippy some of the Monkey's 6-12 month shirts to wear when she is done with them!
