T-Minus... 9 days

Howdy bike racers and bike racerette(s)?! Cury is in DA HOUSE!!! A good mix of weather this weekend wouldn't ya say? Saturday was a great day for dump runs if you didn't go to Enumscratch. As you can see from the photo on the left, Ol' Curly's grass is a growin'... It was kinda looking like Trump in some areas and Ed Asner in others so Curly took the mower to it to make it look even at least. After that was said and done Curly got Lil' Curly a bike trailer. Now I've had all sorts of recommendations and since this is a recreational (i.e. Inter-Bourbon Trail Only) Curly sought out the cheapest yet nicely designed trailer he could find for 67 bucks... of course he bought an Elmo-Approved helmet as well.

Mrs. Curly shook her head as Curly hooked it all up to his race bike. That is until she watched Lil' Curly's reaction to riding in it. He was happier than a undersexed Bull in a field of horny cows... Quite funny to be pullin' that damned thing and hearing a little voice from behind go "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" for an hour. Lil' Curly... you heavy buddy... let's lay off the Grammy Bears between meals pal.

How bout that finish at the Giro yesterday? Damn Bettini thought he had that... but it was a no-go as my countryman, Arveson punched it with 30 feet to go... gotta hurt. Go Norway! So... Today we're heading out from Parmasan country and out to the Tuscan Beaches... Can't tell you too much 'bout the Lido... and I've blacked out about my visit to nearby Parma... I can tell you this... We're not that far from one of Curly's favorite Italian regions... Pesto Region. Oh... Curly can taste it now... I spose this will spark all sorts of interesting conversation about the Cinque Terre... That place sucks. It's overdone and thanks to Rick Steves, Vernazza will never be the same. Ok... so Vernazza has one of the last "wallet-snatchers" in Italy at it's train station... but still, it's been ruined. Back to today's stage... should be a ho-hummer as they've put the mountains in the 1st third of the course with a flat run into the Lido... Look for another Norwegian to be in the top 2 today.

Yer Trainin': Why don't ya strap up yer $400 child trailer and then load it up with 120lbs of weight... then go do some climbing... only, wear some flip flops instead of using yer clipless pedals... Let's see how good of a spinner you are without those Speedplays.

Damn... I nearly forgot to mention this. I also worked a bit more on my online resume slash portfolio... while I was doing that, I made you all a little Flash Interaction with a rapid design tool I'm reviewing... It's in the sidebar there... right above the banner museum link, Gewilli... I made you your own button... Let's see if you can find it.
