Trivia on the right... go to it! Answer tomorrow. I lost a little (of my already little) sleep last night. Lil' Curly had a bad dream around midnight... took about an hour to get him to calm down. Long story short... Curly is as tired as "The Forgotten and Orphaned" blog's last post. I'll try not to let that make me cranky... although that's why yer here right? To watch me lose it on some coaching concept or half-fast move someone made in the cycling world. Awww cripes!
First off... The french (yeah, I lower-cased those bastards cuz it's my blog) are pissing me off yet again. ASO-holes. Don't they have enough to do in the world of bread making, wine making and screwing up doping controls without having to explain their stupid law that they're enforcing on "Uni-bet-chore-pissed now that we won your race". The actual law states that to advertise a betting/gambling house they have to be registered (i.e. give us some francs) in France...
And B... UCI giving pensions now to those riders that meet a certain criteria. 5 years in the PRO tour, 30 years old, and have raced 30 days in the last 5 years of racing in the PRO Tour team. This is all financed by some jackholes-esque 5% deduction from race winnings. The pension?? Up to 20,000 euros. The whole thing pisses Curly off so bad he vomited... and he don't even do that when he drinks too much Bourbon. Now don't get me wrong, Curly thinks that riders deserve a pension... but they've been collecting the money since 2002 and this is interesting as hell that they're just announcing the pension.
In other donkey-lovin' news... The UCI is single-handedly putting LGR's (Little Guy Races) out of business by requiring that they pay 20,000 euros for their doping controls. It's like when Curly pays for his heating oil... They say they're giving him 150 gallons and charging him 2.53/ a gallon... but did they really?? I mean Curly's never around when they deliver it. And is it really heating oil?? Or better yet... like the USCF-u's insurance program... the rider's pay, the promoter pays (2 bucks per rider)... has anyone ever used that insurance?? And just how good is that insurance anyways?... I mean, what's that insurance ever done for me? It's like buying a new roof for your house... you need it, you pay through the shorts for it... you never enjoy it. Until it rains... and then you remember it
Fricken damned tarnation news... Floyd isn't back yet, Tyler Hamilton and Dave Zebriske still haven't written back yet and Hondo is comin' to get ya in March.,,, mark Ol' Curly's words
Campfire Singin' and Bad Harmonica-Playin' news... Curly's eyes hurt this morning. Curly got up later this morning and now Curly has to ride at lunch time for sure... OHOP is happening soon... So, sign up... "The course to flatten your tires and dent your rims on..." says the editor of Road Bike Trashin' Magazine. So grab yourself some IHOP and head to OHOP... Good times... Register here! They're offering discounted regstration now!
Today's training: Now today, I'm gonna suggest something controversial... Take your chain off and click into your Speedplays (the best pedals ever btw)... now pedal like hell.... for 1 hour. Balance may be a little tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Gearing is irrelevant on this workout.
See you tomorrow... I'll try to get some rest... cuz I just read what I wrote... and it starting to make as much sense as you know who's unchanged "about me" page...

Hey coach, sounds like you need a big ol' WAVE to brighten up yer mornin'. Look on the bright side: it's not all icy and snowy outside. And tomorrow's Friday.
yer right... O.K.... tomorrow, I promise to make amends to the french (I'll capitalize tomorrow I said)...
Steady there. If yer too nice to ze frensch, you'll get kisses on both cheeks. And that's sumpin' you might not want to start--kinda hard on a bike. Stick to waving.
What was that? Oh I'm just going to have another glass of wine.
I must be consuming about 8,000 calories a day. I won't get to ride either cuz it's 36 degrees and rain/snowing all day!
I think I've gotta ride 100 miles without a chain to get back on track
And enough of the Irish whiskey slammin' jack daniels is made in toilet bowls, not barrels.
Curly, do you wanna ride with Frankie Andreu on March 11th? It will cost you, it's organised by cascade Bike club. I'd bet you's get a good interview with him, though
promise, this is my last comment!! for today.
Are you drunk OAD... damn dude. I ain't seen slurring like that since I last saw "Waking Ned Devine"... and I got my invite already to the Marymoor version of Meet Frankie... I would like to do a little Curly-style interview tho... and it's a well known fact Sunny Jim that JD IS the best sippin whiskey in the world... good enough to be buried with Frank Sinatra.
you folks got no idea what's comin' tomorrow do you?
