Further proof of Formula One technology trickling down

Via CyclingSnooze:

'3T has brought in some significant engineering muscle to further that development in the form of technical director Richard McAinsh, former head of composites for Ferrari's Formula 1 team. "Throughout my career in F1 I've worked with the world's most demanding athletes," he said. "Michael Schumacher was not easy to satisfy - and I think we did our best to enhance his performance. My 3T engineering team looks forward to repeating that success - both with CSC, who are one of the most demanding teams in cycling, and with all our customers in the bike industry." '

Gonna 'git me some TripleT so I can be just that little bit closer to the chin...











And you would trust what Chinese made carbon, exactly?

Further proof that California drivers are a bunch of pansies: They had to close "the 5" due to snow- ha ha ha!
That is really funny. Doesn't everyone near LA have an SUV? AWD? ADD? Turn up the heater and learn to drive. Your trucker hat isn't helping you right now, is it?

I can remember an ice storm hitting NYC and I still got home from high school, 3 city buses and a mile walk I was home snug as a bug in a rug. An ICE STORM people, not rain, not snow- ice. High school and back.
That's right, bitches.

Retired Dutch cyclist Michael Boogerd, seen here in 2007, and his former team-mate Denis Menchov have denied their links to a laboratory which has been targeted by anti-doping authorities for storing athletes' blood.

Riiiight. Everyone always gets stronger as they get older. Riiiiight.

And lest we forget, we used to root for this one too!

Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear.


How is this sub-prime market mess affecting cycling life as we know it? Well, how much longer do you think Morgan Stanley will be tossing pennies to a master's team when their stock looks like this?
Or that the company is getting sued, big time! How embarrassing.

Though not as bad as AMD. Crikey! Someone needs to get that company back on track so they can pump more $$ into Ferrari F1!!

Hours and hours of manual cutting & pasting have resulted in these 3 collages. The weather and holidays have preempted painting out of doors, so I've been at the desk making these little guys.


I think this is the fourth season now that I've won the first race I've entered. It's a little weird to be winning in January. At least my wattage shows I'm getting fitter fitter. Yes, I now have a wattometer and I make fun of myself everyday.

Also, I think those insoles are working out!
