We didn't ride as much as last year, but the rides we did were quality and finely tuned- which is what I needed at the time.

December already, a few hundred reps done, klicks packed into the legs and still I feel like Elmer's glue sliding down a piece of felt paper.<br />Yesterday was another one of Yeah Yeah's death marches in the cold and wind: up King's, down a freshly paved Tunitas, down Rte 1, Pescadero Rd., up Haskins, up West, down Page Mill and straight to a hot shower- on two gels (its a bitch of a diet, honestly). <br />I wish I had an altimeter just for days like that one, but the laptop on my stem doesn't have one. It was a good day, though hampered by flats, etc. which was a little frustrating. It was cool to be riding with the future of cycling, though. A few of the team's juniors came out: Daniel, David B. and Charlie were putting in the time with us older guys. It's funny to me that some older Cat 1 racers get all insecure when racing with younger guys- giving them crap and the like (you know who you are) as if they wanted to keep the racing all to themselves. You really want to keep racing Pro, 1, 2 when you're 40? You weren't that good to begin with- which is why you're still racing in California. Exclusively. You don't and hardly ever travel now, so why not welcome your replacement, give him or her the advise you never got and elevate the sport? They will always be better than we were, and if they're not? Then the sport isn't evolving, and that's a serious issue.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-3981716857192680491?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-7658649509295247592008-11-20T17:56:00.001-05:002008-11-20T17:56:46.813-05:00<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rs-jAImScms&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rs-jAImScms&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-765864950929524759?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-84731156848023823042008-11-06T18:09:00.000-05:002008-11-06T18:10:10.009-05:00<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SRN5UOwe-AI/AAAAAAAADFI/-ogkyYJLcEo/s1600-h/P1030155.JPG"><img alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SRN5UOwe-AI/AAAAAAAADFI/-ogkyYJLcEo/s320/P1030155.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br />A new painting for Alison's father.<br />Oil on canvas, 18 x 26<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-8473115684802382304?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-86919640608953438632008-11-04T11:27:00.002-05:002008-11-04T11:36:31.737-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SRB54PsXIEI/AAAAAAAAC58/GsAi_dXq8Lk/s1600-h/E_DuraAce_2009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SRB54PsXIEI/AAAAAAAAC58/GsAi_dXq8Lk/s200/E_DuraAce_2009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264841971588341826" border="0" /></a><br />Good golly Miss Molly- I just rode the new electronic Dura Ace yesterday and it was FLAWLESS! So very pimp, smooth and remarkable. Even better- I rode it in the rain and it was working perfectly!<br />Small servo motors will move the chain up and down the cogset simply by pressing one of two buttons on the redesigned leverset. It took a bit to figure out which button did what, but once I did I was slapping them with abandon and the chain was all over the cogs without a single missed shift. I was blown away!<br />Even better is the front derailleur- I cannot describe how simple it is to use and it feels SO much smoother than the mechanical version- which as we know, is smooth as.<br />Wayne Stetina explained that it will actually wait for the shift to go when your legs are in the dead spot in your spin for a smoother shift and that the athlete will adjust to the correct timing of shifting within a week, but should you need to dump it into an easier gear- just push the button and the chain will find what your legs are capable of.<br />Simply incredible. I just wish I'd had my camera on me so I could post some pics- but alas, I don't have any. Know this- the whole gruppo is much more refined than the original spy pics and looks right off the production line. Very, very slick.<br />Campy, Sram- you've got some catching up to do and I've got to start saving my pennies!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-8691964060895343863?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-42230809157689045422008-10-28T17:56:00.003-04:002008-10-28T18:06:45.893-04:00I really do love the election season, you get the best quotes. Here's one from Gollum, oh what, I can't call McCain that? Sheesh, my lawyer is yelling at me, but I'm going ahead anyway!<br /><br />"Sen. Obama is running to be redistributor in chief, I'm running to be commander in chief," said McCain. "Sen. Obama is running to punish the successful, I'm running to make everyone successful." (from Yahoo news)<br /><br />Ah yes, the Marxist Obama wishes to redistibute wealth via taxes and spend it on social programs, etc, etc. I respectfully ask though, what are taxes but a redistrubution of wealth into programs that the government sees fit, like bombers, black ops, missles, education, Supreme Court salaries, your own health care, Mr Gollum. Oh John, I guess you'd just like to do away with all taxes and just borrow the $$ from some other country and leave the market to figure it out-making everyone successful- just like now, right?<br /><br />Well, guess what? Freedom isn't free- you've gotta pay some taxes.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-4223080915768904542?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-82370409391677520942008-10-23T17:00:00.002-04:002008-10-23T17:12:54.855-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SQDozR8X9YI/AAAAAAAAC50/ITR1PPHhiMk/s1600-h/exhausted-cyclist.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 198px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SQDozR8X9YI/AAAAAAAAC50/ITR1PPHhiMk/s200/exhausted-cyclist.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260460332456342914" border="0" /></a><br />Someone asked me the other day if I could train them. I had to say no as I didn't see any drive, I saw someone just wanting to be able to keep up. I cannot train people who are unwilling to drive themselves, hurt and see the power that comes from total commitment. This person was obviously upset and I'm now hearing that I'm an elitist.<br />I am: I only want to work with people that want to be elite. There is nothing wrong with being elite and knowing that you are/were once elite. We should all WANT to be elite. If you want to lose weight, stop eating so fecking much. If you want to get faster on your bike, ride harder- its really that simple. If you want to keep up with your buddies on the group ride then ride more, you don't need me to tell you what to do. It really comes down to this: if you're riding 8 hrs a week, ride 10 harder- you'll get faster.<br />If you want to find your limits, get over your plateaus, open your mind and push yourself, then come find me but I will not deal with people that are not committed to themselves first.<br />Mark Twight says it best: "The closed mind leads to stagnation, and what's the point of life without progress, or one year of experience repeated twenty times?"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-8237040939167752094?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-55877499645952531322008-09-23T18:21:00.000-04:002008-09-23T18:24:50.351-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SNlskggTRWI/AAAAAAAACLA/Vx_xHaFHlVk/s1600-h/cookiemonster2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SNlskggTRWI/AAAAAAAACLA/Vx_xHaFHlVk/s200/cookiemonster2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249346215133529442" border="0" /></a>Its the off season!!

That compounded the damage in my upper lungs since I was breathing so rapidly and so deep. Riding the T.P. caused me to cough non stop for about 4 days and am only now coming to grips. Annoying since it forced me to sit out Elite track Districts, but what can I do? If you can't breathe- you can't race.<br />I had some pics of the phlegm that was coming out of me, but that's really gross, no?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-9134369178402674357?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-14568280210206869572008-09-09T13:15:00.002-04:002008-09-09T13:38:35.242-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMa0dWvRh4I/AAAAAAAACKI/Cv09o7Tk39Y/s1600-h/podium.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMa0dWvRh4I/AAAAAAAACKI/Cv09o7Tk39Y/s200/podium.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244077232532588418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMa0d_oSwWI/AAAAAAAACKQ/tk_PeNos_rg/s1600-h/time.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMa0d_oSwWI/AAAAAAAACKQ/tk_PeNos_rg/s200/time.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244077243509162338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMa0eBvwFvI/AAAAAAAACKY/VqKhXKPh8-o/s1600-h/legs.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMa0eBvwFvI/AAAAAAAACKY/VqKhXKPh8-o/s200/legs.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244077244077315826" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMa0eXHSWrI/AAAAAAAACKg/7eZjTVbXxHE/s1600-h/Axt+and+I.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMa0eXHSWrI/AAAAAAAACKg/7eZjTVbXxHE/s200/Axt+and+I.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244077249813174962" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Finally completed the goal of the season- the team pursuit at Master's Track Nationals.<br />Ouch.<br />Time for much and many beers.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-1456828021020686957?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-52640771791062409272008-09-09T13:11:00.002-04:002008-09-09T13:14:45.851-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMauT3tFxmI/AAAAAAAACKA/Lc_VWJpb1t4/s1600-h/CIMG2361.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SMauT3tFxmI/AAAAAAAACKA/Lc_VWJpb1t4/s200/CIMG2361.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244070472513341026" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Dave Sommerville's wedding gift from his lovely wife, Lori.<br />Was fun to paint- Brooklyn in the hizzy!<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-5264077179106240927?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-15071972108874953612008-09-04T17:21:00.001-04:002008-09-04T17:30:36.610-04:00Oh man, you want to see something sad?<br />Here is my lap times from my individual pursuit @ Old man semi fast Nationals:<br /><br />Opening lap: 27.9 (all right, here we go!)<br />2: 22.6 (Shite, too hot!)<br />3: 23.3 (ouch)<br />4: 23.8 (ok, this hurts a little)<br />5: 24.5 (Oh, Jesus)<br />6: 24.5 (Oh, Mary!)<br />7: 24.9 (Oh, Joseph!!!)<br />8: 24.9 (Someone shoot me!)<br />9: 25.0 (Roll me over, I'm pedaling triangles)<br />Total: 3:41 +<br /><br />That Godforsaken second lap!

A Skuut will rectify that situation by allowing the wee person's wee feets to be touching the ground, therefore providing support.<br /><br />My buddy Jordan wanted something special painted up and I was happy to provide the custom paint. Uber colorful for the wee person and it was fun to do. I wanted to make sure that you know it's made of wood so I taped the sides so I wouldn't get paint on them and allowed the natural pressed wood pattern to show. This Skuut is paintpimped to be one of a kind!<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-4376613259221622619?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-5497077936142517762008-08-08T23:55:00.000-04:002008-08-08T23:55:44.886-04:00<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SJ0VPyd4cSI/AAAAAAAACAo/N73Q_9-Fu-A/s1600-h/P1030088.JPG"><img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SJ0VPyd4cSI/AAAAAAAACAo/N73Q_9-Fu-A/s320/P1030088.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br />Young Daniel Tisdell atop the podium at Junior Road National Championships, 15-16 y.o. division.

Owe $$ to the IRS? Going to run off with the nanny and have alimony payments planned? I mean, seriously?<br /><br /> It's so similar to the fools that race Pro 1,2 all year, then they realize that they'll never, ever win a National Championship at the Elite level, so why not do masters nationals? Weak.<br />Quick to dismiss master's racing as foolish, until they're going for a stars and bars jersey and I suppose any one will do, right?<br />Hmm... funny that. Did you plan it, or did it just happen because you got slower?<br /><br />Anyway, back to Favre: SERIOUSLY? I saw you retire. Saw it on SportsCenter, now all I see is you in green, on my beloved SportsCenter (please get off, the news is old and boring, get back to BritneyGate). Don't try to be like Namath, please! You can't predict shite, much less a win, because you haven't planned anything- impulsive moves rarely bear any return.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-4362098623740766726?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-75911892338975217352008-08-05T14:03:00.002-04:002008-08-05T14:08:34.359-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SJiW9euoErI/AAAAAAAACAY/w2rnXb3I9xk/s1600-h/P1020986.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SJiW9euoErI/AAAAAAAACAY/w2rnXb3I9xk/s200/P1020986.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231096950155645618" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Finally got a time done in the team pursuit and most of the training has gone well and the times were good.

That's how my legs feel. I rode at the track yesterday a.m. with Mike Mc and Wyatt behind Pete's Honda @ 55kph for a couple of high cadence team pursuit sessions in a 90 inch gear. Ouch. Funny how it feels at one speed and then Pete will roll the throttle for just a touch more and my form goes out the window- hips curl, the fronts of my legs start to shred and I'm trying desperately to keep up with my cranks. 9 laps of that and I was breathing out my bunger.<br />Of course I decided to go back to the track last night for some long lap points racing. I put an 88 inch gear on for kicks and it was funny that I was able to hold off guys rolling 880 fronts and disc rears for points. Truth be told, it only happened a couple of times and the gear felt small, but lesson learned... I'll be back with a 90 or maybe a 91 and see how that goes.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SIevECyz1nI/AAAAAAAAB_c/25sja2iL02o/s1600-h/kissena.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SIevECyz1nI/AAAAAAAAB_c/25sja2iL02o/s200/kissena.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226338376591070834" border="0" /></a><br />Then I rode up West Alpine Road @ 350 watts today and cracked myself, came home and ate pretzels and slammed a couple of Cokes. Shredded. Stupid. I'm hitting the ice bath later.<br /><br />The velodrome is so much fun and I've missed it. I was really happy that Yeah Yeah lent me his Orbea last year so I could go down and hit the banking again. It's where I started, on the Kissena velorome, won rider of the year, then moved up to a Cat 1 and started hitting Friday nights @ T-Town, where the locals come out in the hundreds and cheer you on and jazz you for getting dropped.<br /><br />Then I moved to Boulder, Colorado and one day the rent was way overdue and I sold all my gear, my Bianchi (a made in Italy SP tubed Bianchi, not the Tiwaneese junk frames of today), my Serotta pursuit bike, my discs, my bladed Campy wheels, my Superbe Pro rings and cogs, my rubber skinsuit, everything had to go.

I realize that it is a bit trivial in comparison to other kinds of illness and afflictions, but I'm telling you- if you want answers from a terrorist- drill his teeth without novacaine and you'll get some answers quickly.<br />At least you would from me.<br />I go in last Monday because my right lower gum is swollen and sore, they put me on antibiotics (go figure) and give me a deep clean. The hygenist says that she's never seen anything like it before, which is really quite comforting. Two days later my upper left molar goes haywire and it feels like I've got a knife stuck in my mouth. I go back to the dentist, he takes an x ray and tells me that he thinks he should extract it and asks me what I think. I look at him for a second pondering all the wise ass cracks I could say (No, I'd much rather live in pain, and besides its MY tooth and you can't take it from me! God gave me this tooth and what God hath given, only God can taketh away! No wait, hold on, I need a second opinion, etc, etc- the thoughts were flowing but the tooth won), but I just agreed with him and told him the sooner the better.<br />He says, Ok we need to start you on antibiotics right away.<br />I say, I'm all ready ON antibiotics.<br />You are?<br />Yes, for my gum infection. Started them last Tuesday.<br />Dude, you have issues, he says.<br /><br />I'm going to blow up his Lexus the first chance I get- right after he takes out this fecking tooth.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-210080313652907106?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-19682488281895724432008-05-19T15:43:00.002-04:002008-05-19T15:48:41.292-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SDHYdmrSOcI/AAAAAAAAB98/AvJJFxGhrT8/s1600-h/DSC00213.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/SDHYdmrSOcI/AAAAAAAAB98/AvJJFxGhrT8/s200/DSC00213.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202177047699536322" border="0" /></a>You're probably asking yourself what the heck am I doing this close to a huge volcano that's covered in snow with a slightly exhausted look?

Now, you must understand that I absolutely HATE this race with more passion than Mel Gibson for JaySus. I've done the Pro, 1 races more times than I want to recall. I don't hate it because the campgrounds are 3x the price than an Indy Car race weekend, it's not the dirty, soft facial haired scallywags that ride constant wheelies all day (yay, look at me, look at me- Dude, I failed geometry!), it's not the fact that they charge $6.95 for a bratwurst and $5.00 for a bottle of water, it's not the fact that the top 'Pro' teams don't even go anymore, it's not the fact that you feel like you catch ADD like it was a disease the longer you're there, it's not the weather, which can turn from nice to tempest in a matter of hours, and it's certainly not the drive out, which can take for-EV-er, it's not the hotels in the area which charge Moto G.P. weekend rates. No, it isn't all these things that creep on my skin like bedbugs- it the entry fees which make me madder than a hatter. $60.00 a race- WHAT!?!?!<br /><br />Now I've raced all over this wonderful country of ours, every armpit and broken town you can ponder and you can usually figure out where your $ is going when you sign up for a race, but at Sea Otter I wonder. I mean, you can sign up for Tour of Somerville, a criterium with a $10,000 prize list for $50.00, just like Athen's Twilight Criterium. Sea Otter is $60.00! I've been told, from an unnamed source in the Otter's bowels that registration numbers are off, way off from not 2 years ago, but I guess it would take an enlightened calculator to figure out why.<br /><br />Note to Sea Otter: you want more people coming? Go Thomas Edison- more for less $.<br /><br />What I do like are the families that roll up to the parking lot @ Laguna Seca in their motor homes, little guys and girls on wee bikes, Mom and Dad preparing bottles, manning the BBQ, shooting the shite with other parents and helping out the kids' racing. It's cool to see and gives hope to the future generation. I just wish more people would do it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-4891513433303393148?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-69848026742564939942008-04-08T13:49:00.000-04:002008-04-08T13:53:13.398-04:00<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Santa Cruz</st1:place></st1:City> Criterium</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">April 6^th 2008</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Steve and I met the rest of the gang over the hill in <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Santa Cruz</st1:place></st1:City> with enough time to ride along the river’s bike path, up to the boardwalk and smell the cotton candy. It was a good incentive to win, smelling that sweetness! Maybe I’d allow a little indulgence post race.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Larry was psyched for this race, as always, and Craig, Kevin and Wyatt were all on very good form so we felt as if we had a bunch of cards to play. It was a breezy day, the sun was out and it was a beautiful day for a bike race.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Larry sat us down and talked over the plan again- Kevin, Craig and I would keep our eyes peeled for breakaways, with Wyatt and Steve in reserve for keeping the bunch up to speed for the inevitable sprint for Larry. Because the final sprint to the line is uphill and into the wind, it was a power sprint and not a pure speed run. It suited Larry, but with only 20 laps of the course, unlike the 45 the pro 1-2s were running, time would be short and we had to keep our heads up the whole time.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>The race got started quickly and the speed was painfully high right from the gun. We dove into the first turn, the off camber hairpin, and our SL2s railed as if we had front wings, a high down force setup and super sticky tires- incredible bikes! Stomped on the pedals and down the hill we shot, up through the chicane drifting up to the last turn, again off camber, and sprinted out, up the hill @ over 1000 watts! I thought to myself that this was going to be a hard 20 laps, for sure. But the boys kept in it, never drifting too far back, and never getting too far from the front of the field.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>The promoter was giving away a ton of cash and strawberries, happily donated by Cal Giant, so guys were leaping off the front to grab whatever they could. It seemed like the bell was ringing the whole race and the cheers from the crowd were keeping us light on the pedals the whole way around the course. The laps ticked by, I grabbed a preme and then a couple of laps later <a href="http://ebyron.smugmug.com/gallery/4668658_nzDXe#275822866">Kevin pounded the pedals</a>, grabbing a 10 second lead in no time. He held off the pack for what seemed like forever, other teams sending guys to the front to chase and they would drift back after their turns completely spent, never to be seen again. As soon as <a href="http://ebyron.smugmug.com/gallery/4668658_nzDXe#275813735">Kevin got nabbed</a> by the field, Craig bounded off the front with a couple of other guys and that was the final move. More teams that missed the break were now sending riders off to chase or make it across, but with <a href="http://ebyron.smugmug.com/gallery/4668658_nzDXe#275821831">Wyatt and Steve always on their shoulders</a> they knew there was nothing they could’ve done. It looked tenuous for a bit but the break stuck- with the horsepower in the move there wasn’t anyone that could bring it back.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>With 4 laps to go Larry turned to me while we were flying down the hill @ 55kph, ‘You take the field sprint and I’m going across!’ I looked at him, ‘Why not announce it to everyone?’ <a href="http://ebyron.smugmug.com/gallery/4668658_nzDXe#275894779">I chuckled to myself</a>. But Kevin sensed what was about to happen, went to the front again, took a good hard dig, setting Larry up and off he shot across the gap. There was nothing anyone who’d heard Larry could’ve done as there is no denying Larry Nolan when he’s on a mission! He flew across the gap, making us all look very, very slow and got there in time to hear the crowd screaming and the bell ringing for the final lap.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Up the hill the break flew and Craig saw just enough daylight down the left hand gutter, slightly sheltered from the gusting wind. It was all the centimeters he needed- he shot through to take the win for Team Specialized Racing, hands aloft! Larry finished 4^th and the rest of us rolled in, avoiding kissing the pavement. The plan came together- all we needed now was to meet back at the A-Team van and Larry to be puffing a fat cigar. “I love it when a plan comes together” he’d say, smiling.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://ebyron.smugmug.com/gallery/4668658_nzDXe#275893507"><span style=""> </span>Murdoch finally got the monkey off his back too!</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-6984802674256493994?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-45189251712542786582008-04-05T12:10:00.004-04:002008-04-05T12:30:50.350-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">The San Francisco Olympic torch run protest is pure stupidity.</span></span><br /><br />Ah, leave it to the capital of the Left Coast to come out in droves and protest China by screaming at a torch. On April 9th a torch that represents an athletic movement, competition, a bringing together of the world's best athletes- not the host country, will be run through the streets of San Francisco. This flame, born from the sun on Mt. Olympus is not China. It isn't repressing Tibetans, or persecuting 'religious' movements, or trampling our freedoms, the freedoms that WE, and we alone, have written into our governmental documents. This torch is nothing more than a reminder that the Olympics are coming.<br />You really want to make China listen? You'd like to protest their actions and sock it to them where it hurts? Try this:<br />Don't buy any Chinese goods for the months leading up to the Olympics- its that simple. I dare you to try- I bet you can't. We've so many durable goods imported into this country that are made in China that it would be next to impossible to not buy their goods. But you can try if you're really serious about protesting. Don't cops always say 'follow the money' when looking for the persons involved in a crime? If you stop giving China your money the message will be felt and not just heard- but yelling at a torch?<br />That's just plain dumb, for a torch has no pockets, nor ears.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/R_enpumBjsI/AAAAAAAAB9M/YNTeoRGCDss/s1600-h/mn_torchgrf.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

All these "tactics" can finally be learned and not spoken into an eager ear. Personally, I can't stand radios, unless of course I'm making fun of someone with my other teammates that are in on the joke. I think they're terrible and unless you've got Johan in your ear, you're probably getting bad advice or information that you already know.<br />---Yes I know I need to chase that break down, but due to the fact that I've been at the front all day covering moves while you, my erstwhile teammate, sit at the back barking orders into my ear- I'm a little tired at the moment, you do it!---<br />I remember rolling up to do some Master's world championship race in the valley somewhere and some team (you know who you are) rocked up to the line with radios. I almost fell of my bike with howling laughter and proceeded to poke fun at them all day. It was really too easy. Did they win? No. Why? Because they were getting advice and 'tactics' from other guys that have never, EVER won a P,1,2 race in their lives, or ever raced an NRC race, or ever had to make $$ at a crit in order to eat that night.<br />What's that story about the blind leading the blind? But I digest...<br />Anyway- good on some federation to finally ban them. Maybe now the youngsters will learn how to keep their heads up and in it while racing.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/R-Exqdkbd1I/AAAAAAAAB8o/my-R1OE8IzM/s1600-h/crash.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/R-Exqdkbd1I/AAAAAAAAB8o/my-R1OE8IzM/s200/crash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179475652014470994" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-4645498919048719216?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-11198489792691519702008-03-18T10:29:00.003-04:002008-03-18T10:35:36.511-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/R9_S9dkbdzI/AAAAAAAAB8Y/iomaymPJBlw/s1600-h/dictionary.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/R9_S9dkbdzI/AAAAAAAAB8Y/iomaymPJBlw/s200/dictionary.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179090049850636082" border="0" /></a><br />It's funny to me when people don't look up the definitions of words before they brand something.

That was a rough one. I take all sorts of time with other's bikes, but I rush my own.<br />Go figure.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/R9K5pNkbdwI/AAAAAAAAB8A/FpbUlHICUow/s1600-h/CIMG2117.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/R9K5pNkbdwI/AAAAAAAAB8A/FpbUlHICUow/s200/CIMG2117.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175403039470352130" border="0" /></a><br />Either way it made for some really sore legs being all jammed up last weekend, but then I had a day like this:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/R9K5w9kbdxI/AAAAAAAAB8I/oPuWTtlMPxs/s1600-h/CIMG2116.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_7_cthcQfTdM/R9K5w9kbdxI/AAAAAAAAB8I/oPuWTtlMPxs/s200/CIMG2116.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175403172614338322" border="0" /></a><br />Needless to say the legs are coming around, but racing is racing and not training, right? I'm convinced that there are a lot of cyclists that are getting really, really good at training, thanks to the wattometers, but not getting any better at racing. Happy to chase and sit on, but scared to pull in a break. Very odd if you ask me, but then again- what do I know?<br />Maybe its the 'tactics'. ha!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-6256508984878361508?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-60255071828743402302008-03-06T21:29:00.001-05:002008-03-06T21:29:42.042-05:00<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="background:white;padding:5px;width:auto;"><table class="ztail-sell" id="widget_160215967163" style="background: url(http://www.ztail.com/images/bg-listing-div-ztail.gif) repeat-x bottom left;border-collapse:collapse;color:black;font:100% normal 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;width:auto;"><tr><td rowspan="2" style="font-size:9px;margin:0;padding:0 0 15px;vertical-align:top;width:108px;"><p style="clear:both;margin:0 0 5px;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-1/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-8950" title="Trek Madone 6.9 SSL 56 cm NR"><img src="http://www.ztail.com:8080/image/80/8950.png" height="80" width="80" alt="Trek Madone 6.9 SSL 56 cm NR" style="border:1px solid rgb(173,202,198);"/></a></p><p style="clear:both;margin:0;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-2/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-8950" title="Trek Madone 6.9 SSL 56 cm NR" style="color:rgb(36,102,143);text-decoration:underline;">View more pics</a></p><p style="clear:both;margin:25px 0 5px;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-5/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-8950" title="right now on eBay"><img src="http://www.ztail.com/images/logo-ebay-rno.gif" alt="right now on eBay" style="border:0;"/></a></p><p style="clear:both;margin:0;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-7/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-8950" title="Trek Madone 6.9 SSL 56 cm NR" style="color:rgb(153,153,153);text-decoration:none;">160215967163</a></p></td><td colspan="2" style="color:black;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:top;width:auto;"><p style="clear:both;font-size:13px;margin:0;padding:0 0 10px;">This item is currently for sale.

I'd built a couple of bikes for the team and finally got down to building mine Thursday night. Friday I was up and spun around with glass cranks and a multi tool trying to get the new Specialized Toupe saddle to fit my taint. I never really got to get some power down, not that I'd know what I was doing because I'd left off the Power Tap as I'd no time to get it wired in time for the race. Time was NOT on my side.<br />Drove down to the crit in lovely downtown Merced, home of methane and meth labs, went round and round, tried to get across to a break of 3, got within spitting distance then my legs blew like Chernobyl, missed the subsequent breakaways and rolled across the line. Annoying to have no legs whatsoever.<br />I stuck around to watch the P-1 race and saw fellow old man Hernandez leap off the front of the pack to grab a $300.00 preme in the first few laps. Ch-Ching- that's a lot of coin for a couple of laps of work. The race looked fast and Horner, BJMain and a Colavita guy made it look easy by lapping the field after spending way too much time in a break letting a Canuckistainian guy nip the premes. Greedy Canadian- get your own economy! :) D-Ho almost stuck it out for 4th, but got caught up in the field with 1 to go and the rest of the pack came in dribs and drabs after a massive pile up.<br />After the race I hooked up with Stickboy and his teammate Chris, B-Rad from Lombardi Sports and headed over to Motel Seeeecks. We walked over to La Morenita for the mole poblano and a Pacifico to drown my anguish where we saw the Giant Strawberry team hashing, re hashing then talking 'tactics' about bike racing while we talked about girls, food, cars and mobile phones.<br />The next a.m. we were all up early for the Denny's run. They were actually prepared this year and had some more wait staff on hand to take the 'LumberJackSlam' orders. We saw McCooky there flying solo, sipping joe and gnawing on baby pig strips. We downed way too much coffee, bacon and grits, packed up the toilet, packed up the car and flew over to the road race start.<br />It was cold, windy and the sun was out. A Belgian kind of day, too bad I couldn't channel my inner Eddy. My taint was roughed up and the legs just weren't there, again. This is annoying when I know the watts (there, I said it) the week before. The Hutch went on to win solo (go figure) after dropping McKinley and another guy just 3 km from the line. Our lead out train never really got going to any effect. I pulled off with about 900m to go with a Morgan Stanley guy firmly glued to my rear wheel who'd swung off with me and didn't pull through. He's screaming 'No!' at his team while they're leading out. 'Team tactics' under a km to go? Well, that's just dumb when the rest of your guys are leading out your sprinter! It was really funny, but what do I know, right? Maybe there are chapters on tactics I didn't get to in the Eddie B. book.<br />All in all it was a fun weekend- a bit frustrating and pain inducing, but a good weekend of riding. Now on to changing that saddle...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-8036891878001894999?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-10318159502583747612008-02-27T18:50:00.004-05:002008-02-27T18:55:13.102-05:00Man was I bummed to miss Snelling this year.

It's just one of those things that happens to me when I put pressure on the pedals- which is one reason why I try and be as smooth as possible on the bike. My right toe yesterday felt as though I had a lighter under it the whole way up <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;time=&amp;date=&amp;ttype=&amp;q=tunitas+creek+rd,+ca&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=30.268266,82.265625&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=37.411891,-122.365036&amp;spn=0.118351,0.32135&amp;z=12&amp;iwloc=addr&amp;om=1">Tunitas Creek</a>, after climbing Old, Haskins and rolling across Inland Hills. Annoying, but I finally have come to terms with my old foot beds, custom made for me at Killington Ski Shop about 6 years ago, are long past their time. When I pulled them out of my shoes yesterday afternoon I saw that I'd rubbed a hole where my right toe sits. Not good.<br /> Now, I've tried other things, had my feet molded, dropped dollars on other 'custom' foot beds, but nothing felt like what was made for me so very long ago. One set of home heatable insoles that I'd used, made by <a href="http://www2.yoursole.com/products/footbeds/">SOLE</a>, was very nice, but they took up a lot of room in my <a href="http://www.glorycycles.com/dmtkycaroshw.html">DMT shoes</a>. Normally this is OK, as I have very low volume feet, but it was too much to bear and the tops of my feet were getting dug into by the velcro straps and were eventually going numb after about 2 hrs. Not good for the long races. So I've been doing research and see that SOLE now makes a low volume 'sport' insole. Maybe this new set will do the trick.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-2792863816246505176?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-89009981427987765402007-12-19T19:05:00.001-05:002007-12-19T19:05:54.523-05:00<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="background:white;padding:5px;width:auto;"><table class="ztail-sell" id="widget_160192042676" style="background: url(http://www.ztail.com/images/bg-listing-div-ztail.gif) repeat-x bottom left;border-collapse:collapse;color:black;font:100% normal 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;width:auto;"><tr><td rowspan="2" style="font-size:9px;margin:0;padding:0 0 15px;vertical-align:top;width:108px;"><p style="clear:both;margin:0 0 5px;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-1/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-8141" title="Trek Bontrager XXX Lite Carbon Wheelset NEW 700c"><img src="http://www.ztail.com:8080/image/80/8141.png" height="80" width="80" alt="Trek Bontrager XXX Lite Carbon Wheelset NEW 700c" style="border:1px solid rgb(173,202,198);"/></a></p><p style="clear:both;margin:0;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-2/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-8141" title="Trek Bontrager XXX Lite Carbon Wheelset NEW 700c" style="color:rgb(36,102,143);text-decoration:underline;">View more pics</a></p><p style="clear:both;margin:25px 0 5px;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-5/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-8141" title="right now on eBay"><img src="http://www.ztail.com/images/logo-ebay-rno.gif" alt="right now on eBay" style="border:0;"/></a></p><p style="clear:both;margin:0;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-7/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-8141" title="Trek Bontrager XXX Lite Carbon Wheelset NEW 700c" style="color:rgb(153,153,153);text-decoration:none;">160192042676</a></p></td><td colspan="2" style="color:black;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:top;width:auto;"><p style="clear:both;font-size:13px;margin:0;padding:0 0 10px;">Got race wheels?

It's hysterical.<br /><br /> For the record: when one of your riders' A samples tests positive, but then the B sample needs to be tossed due to irregular handling; and that rider is/was coached by someone that gave a Grand Jury deposition at the Landis trial, I wouldn't go complaining that there is a witch hunt for one of your riders, I might just try real hard to keep my mouth shut.<br /> To say that their skin is different from the majority of riders out there and that's the reason why they're being targeted- well, that's just <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >stupid</span>.<br /> What a knucklehead.

Yikes- that much closer to 40. I still feel young and my legs are certainly adapting to the laid-off life of training, making art, etc. I'm getting fit and getting more and more power out of my legs with every passing hour of training time- it feels really good!<br />I'm not kidding myself though. I'm not delusional and think that I tour the NRC or anything, but rather being a thorn in the side of a few racers around here would suit me just fine. It would make up for last year and end things on a good note instead of everything being up in the ether.<br />After almost a year, all my legal issues are behind me. I've paid who I needed to pay (which bankrupted me, but whatever), have done what I needed to do, and have fought what I needed to fight. I'm surprised at how slow the wheels of "justice" turn, especially when you've got a D.A. that's under the thumb of a rich, money-grubbing woman. 'Law and Order' makes it seem so much faster and so much more exciting than it really is. Court is just an exercise in scheduling and concocted arguments under bad lighting.<br />Either way- all over- now back to righting the past year.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-4055739996337840525?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-60284681402065778642007-11-19T14:31:00.000-05:002007-11-19T14:33:04.152-05:00Could this be the <a href="http://www.turbotanks.com/">MOST ADDICTIVE GAME</a> <span style="font-size:180%;">EVER</span>!!????!!!!<br /><br />set a timer, as my buddy told me, you'll need it!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-6028468140206577864?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-1849933419150184502007-11-16T13:00:00.000-05:002007-11-16T13:09:55.593-05:00<h3>Via Cyclingnews.com :</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>Tour of Elk Grove officials name new winner following O'Neill positive</h3> <p>Tour of Elk Grove officials named Mike Friedman (Team Slipstream powered by Chipotle) as the new winner of the <a href="http://www.cyclingnews.com/road.php?id=road/2007/aug07/elkgrove07/default">2007 edition</a> of the three-stage race in place of Nathan O'Neill, who <a href="http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2007/nov07/nov08news2">tested positive</a> for and later admitted use of the appetite suppressant Phentermine at the event.</p> <p>The Tour of Elk Grove was held August 11-12. Organizers expressed their disappointment publicly in a written statement Wednesday after hearing of O'Neill's positive. His Health Net Pro Cycling Team suspended him after his B sampled confirmed the initial positive test. </p> <p>"We're obviously disappointed but we will continue to be aggressive about testing and holding our riders to the highest possible standards," said Elk Grove Mayor Craig Johnson, who also serves as Director of Tour of Elk Grove. O'Neill has returned his US$33,500 prize money (which will be redistributed to other 2007 top winners). He will also be banned for life from racing in the event.</p><br /><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now here's the funny thing about this positive test, besides the face that O'Neill was on phen-phen (OI! These burritos sure are filling!!)- this prize $$ was already split among his teammates, support crew, etc; or was thrown into an account and split up later along the entire team. That's a lot of dough! But I'm sure his teammates are supporting him as best they know how, rent payments not withstanding, though I don't think they'll be asking him out to the pub anytime soon.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">By the way, did anyone really think he ever raced clean before?<br /></span></p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14112871-184993341915018450?l=whydecaf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FstrBllyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10331497626667951345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112871.post-90618484934010591742007-11-15T20:04:00.001-05:002007-11-15T20:04:48.998-05:00<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="background:white;padding:5px;width:auto;"><table class="ztail-sell" id="widget_160181020262" style="background: url(http://www.ztail.com/images/bg-listing-div-ztail.gif) repeat-x bottom left;border-collapse:collapse;color:black;font:100% normal 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;width:auto;"><tr><td rowspan="2" style="font-size:9px;margin:0;padding:0 0 15px;vertical-align:top;width:108px;"><p style="clear:both;margin:0 0 5px;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-1/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-7640" title="Bontrager X lite wheelset 700c X-Lite"><img src="http://www.ztail.com:8080/image/80/7640.png" height="80" width="80" alt="Bontrager X lite wheelset 700c X-Lite" style="border:1px solid rgb(173,202,198);"/></a></p><p style="clear:both;margin:0;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-2/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-7640" title="Bontrager X lite wheelset 700c X-Lite" style="color:rgb(36,102,143);text-decoration:underline;">View more pics</a></p><p style="clear:both;margin:25px 0 5px;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-5/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-7640" title="right now on eBay"><img src="http://www.ztail.com/images/logo-ebay-rno.gif" alt="right now on eBay" style="border:0;"/></a></p><p style="clear:both;margin:0;padding:0;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ztail.com:8080/click/ws-14/ca-7/pt-201/pf-3709/piid-7640" title="Bontrager X lite wheelset 700c X-Lite" style="color:rgb(153,153,153);text-decoration:none;">160181020262</a></p></td><td colspan="2" style="color:black;font-size:11px;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:top;width:auto;"><p style="clear:both;font-size:13px;margin:0;padding:0 0 10px;">This item is currently for sale.
