"...I took up mountain biking and two years ago started road racing as a Category Five racer. The Slipstream team picked me up after I won a stage at the Tour of the Gila last year.” says Jason Donald... Cat 5 racer?? Two years ago?? Jebbus... that was one helluva ride up the ol' Telegraph fella...
Coach Curly likes to see unknowns and underdogs do well. Kinda made Curly tear up when Leipheimer-stein tore it up at the last minute to come in just ahead of him. In other "WTF's" I was surprised to see Cancellara finish so ho hum after watching him blast out of the gates doing like 130 rpms. Oh well... Something will happen today for sure.
The Prologue's "don't really care about this race" award goes to Bettini. He managed to get himself onto a TT bike and into a skinsuit, but after watching the interviews and seeing that notsoaero helmet... and seeing his shoes featured like 30 times I figured him as the ticket taker for the day.
God, did we have a good day on Saturday! Pretty nice. Almost made me mad when Sunday rolled around and it wasn't 60 degrees. With that said, at the end of this week we'll have us some racing. OHOP on the 24th and the first test of your ability to ride without drafting on folks the next day with the Frostbite TT... anybody tapering? Just kidding... I know you all know better than to treat these races as anything but training for the "real" season.
Today's Training: Let's do the no chain thing again... we haven't done that in a while. Rest up pardners... tomorrow will be here soon enough.

Looks like it will be cold on Sunday! Anyone in a skinsuit will get frostbite Hi 45 low 34.
Ahem... why you think I called it Frostbite? Farmer's Almanac says it's always cold and dry on that day. Of course if you can't do 8-miles in a skinsuit... you're in the wrong state.

Oh, so if it's not cold and dry on that day this year, we get our entry fees back?
ya know... I keep reading my comment(s) over and over and I can't find where I said that... I'll keep looking at it and let you know by the 28th...
I read between the lines.
