Where were you when...?

Some things happen for a reason. Now Ol' Curly knows that things have to take 1 step forward and then 3 steps backward to make any real progress. You may remember when Ol' Moser set the world on fire by challenging the Great Eddy Merckx's time in the hour record. He used all sorts of anti-Curly devices to do it... science, equipment, carbon fiber... etc. He did it... and he did it as any true Italian would... by messin' with the rules. Like when the Italians invented the "TV" but it was really the radio... nice try Giuseppe. Curly don't take kindly to messin with the rules. EXCEPT for this feller... he made a bike using crappy metal, washing machine bearings and the original Tri-Spokes. The thing that gets Curly all misty-eyed... is he did it to spit in the faces of some of those ASO-hole-esque jackholes... ok... is was the WCF at the time, but still... same folk. Well, now... in May actually... there's a movie coming out about this feller. I can't help but think that maybe Ol' Curly just likes him cuz he has "Scotch" in his nationality. As cyclists... we should be excited about this as we haven't had a cycling film made for us (theatrical) since American Flyers.

The Flyin' Scottish Man




Your training today: I want you to build a bike out of washing machine parts and ride it tonite at PR. Let me know what race you'll be in... I'd like to get that on film.

WOO HOO! PR is here!** Anybody know if we're having hot dogs tonite.

**Ol' Curly realizes that folks outside of the circle are now reading this blog. PR = Pacific Raceways. Pacific Raceways is a local, weekly race series on an auto racing track. It's a closed course so no centerline rule.

Supplemental Religious Post:

And on the second day it was revealed that the Antonites did perish at the hands of the Curlyites. The master of the Curlyites did rain down upon the Antonites with a shower of fury. And until the last of the Antonites was gone... the master of the Curlyites did persist with his traps of Boric acid. Let it not be said that the master was an evil man... just annoyed with ants.

Let us not forget the son of the master of the Curlyites... with his irresponsible spilling of the apple beverage. Lest ye attract the Antonites once more. However... the master of the Curlyites did caulk up the entrance to the kingdom of the Antonites... lest they have a much harder time getting in altogether. Amen brother.

OAD... rumor is that there's an OAD character in the film. They used Sean Connery to play the role. I know what a slap in the face that is... A Scotsman playing an Irishman.
