Body Condom

In light of the formal apology issued by the four American cyclists to the Beijing Olympic organizers for their grossly offensive actions (wearing filter masks, THE NERVE!), I have prepared my apology letter in advance of my trip to Interbike this year. Here it is;

"I offer my sincere apologies to the organizers of the Interbike International Bicycle Expo, the City of Las Vegas, the people of Nevada, the dancers at Cheetahs, the couple staying in the room next to mine and everyone in attendance at the Sinclair part for my offensive actions. It was not my intention to offend any one with the use of my USAC issued body condom. My wearing of the Body Condom was stricly precautionary and in no way intended as a policital or social statement."

Hannah Banks

(no Timpani pic yet, so here's one from Vacaville.)

Since first meeting Hannah at the Ronde Van Brisbane, I've become a big fan. I've got to give her some serious props. Okay, so she's a badass bike racer (her win at Timpani and her support of her VAC teammies is proof of that). Even cooler though, is how down to earth she is. I've had the chance to hang out with her a little and I've got to tell ya, she's one of the most level headed people I've ever met.

As a teacher of mainly twenty-somethings who are seeking to find their place in the world, it is very cool indeed to meet someone with such a clear vision of where she is, where she is headed and an understanding of the road that is going to get her there. Coolness personified in my book.

Hannah, congrats on the win yesterday and best of luck at San Rafael!

What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?

My daughter comes around the corner at Target asking if we can get this. Joy overflowed my NERD heart!

and for your viewing pleasure...

Welcome to the Dumbass Club Marta

The list is growing...

Any time your excuse includes the line I'm disgusted with my trusted chemist for preparing a mix of herbs for me, you have to KNOW that things aren't going to go well for you.

Here's the plan, only use products that YOU KNOW ARE SAFE, NOT ON ANY BANNED LIST and DO NOT NEED TO BE "MIXED" BY YOUR TRUSTED CHEMIST.

I mean, come on, naivety, arrogance or a serious case of the "fuck its" aren't good excuses for testing positive.

Le Tour a ete "Sastre-ated"

Carlos Sastre and his CSC teammates sack tapped the Tour bunch and came away with their greatest victory yet. After the craptacular 2006 Tour and Vino/Astana skidmarked 07 race, the 2008 Tour was a pretty good one. Sure the dumbass dopers tried to eff things up (Good going Ricco et. al.), but somehow this year felt different. Whereas the 06-07 Tours had clouds over them, the 2008 Tour seemed more resilient. The shit hit the fan, but rinsed right off.

Now, with his contract up this year, does Sastre "repay" Bjarne and the Team by staying with them to groom the Schleck's for the future or does he do the "profitable" thing, realizing he's at the end of his career, and go for the big money from other teams? I'll go on a limb and say he stays at Saxo Bank/Riis Cycling.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed we don't have any late test results that come in and screw up an otherwise fine finish for cyclings' biggest race.
