Curly FRIDAY Roundup and Trivia Recap!

Well... some folks thought the picture to the left might be their ticket. Although quite a nice picture... not the right answer. It was in fact Domo. Take a look at these two photos though... remember seeing them when they were fresh...? new...? exciting? You probably got all giddy and stuff about cycling. Kinda see them in a different light now knowing that at least one feller in each photo MAY (did) dope? Nuff said on that. Again... nice work to those that did their homework and Googled the answer for 2001 Paris Roubaix.



Latest News... There's still a fricken USCF-OBRA-esque power struggle going on between the ASO and UCI. Seems Unibet's exclusion from Paris-Nice might result in he UCI pulling the sanctioning of the event. Now the OTHER news guys might have you believe that the Paris-Nice will get cancelled if they don't fix it. Do you really think that the PRO-Tour economic model will result in cancellation of the P-N? No way... ASO will let Unibet race ultimately, the ASO-pansy asses will waddle back to their corner (bitchin' and moanin' in French the entire way)... The UCI will take a few French insults in the media and the struggle will go on until July when the UCI announces that Ullrich (cleared by then) can race the Tour. Alright... so the OBRA-USCF thing was a little different (flip-flopped)... but still?
Speakin' of Who Ate All the Pies... (and Wasted All of the Time) Ullrich was quoted (with regards to his submitting a DNA sample)"I want this affair to be sorted out quickly so that I can get back on my bike," Alright... now this pisses Curly off... more than Bjarne R. prolly... WTH? Quickly??... like quickly as in you could have just "cleared" yourself by doing this from the beginning... and "get back on my bike"??? I think you need to do that now if you have hopes of returning to the Tour. Ullrich needs my help obviously... Ulle?? Call me buddy... I have a programme for you.
It's been a good week since I took this here BLOG back... we've had exciting new artwork/banners every day... new colors... new bitchin'. You even got another trivia. We got us another one of them e-mails yesterday... asking about the "process" here at Coach Curly Corp. "How to do come up with all this content... 5 days a week?" Well... every morning the group gets together at 5 am sharp, has us some cowboy coffee, read the paper... take a roll call. Then we get to brainstorming. Phyllis usually takes the meeting notes. Cookie shares some ideas from Cyclingnews.com... we laugh at some PEZ news. Then Ol' Buck gets us started on a speed-round of ideas for the day. We take a blind vote and then without looking, we send it off to IT and Creative to do the layout. Yeah... managing this group is alot like a sandwich shop... alot of different sanwiches... ya know... your Reubens... your BLTs... PBJ... damn I hate sandwiches...

yeah... that's how we do it here at Coach Curly Corp. Now for today's training we're gonna do hills... alot of them... all in the big ring. Now for your recovery... that be tomorrow's 5 hour ride.

That same feller that asked out the "process" also asked about the banners we've been going through like Tic Tacs... so I had IT and Creative put together a little museum for you all. Here's the link.
