I got a short ride in today, but it was way colder than I expected. I did a little laundry, filed my tax returns, and updated my links on here tonight. I heard there was a football game on TV or something? Anyway, sorry I'm lame, I'm excited for race season to start so I have a little excitement back in my life. I was thinking about racing on my ride today (that happens a lot) and I just got this overwhelming excitement/anxiety/drive that I haven't felt in a long time.
This is going to be a good year. One more month of hard work and then I'll be ready to dust off my racing legs and see how they want to go.
Thanks for checking in, and for those of you who came to the Collegiate Tour Baby, thanks, and I'm sorry?
Oh yeah, my Cannondale is back up on eBay, buy it PLEASE! Item # 290203316678

Hey Rubin, have you met this Corey dude? He's a good guy, really captured my heart with his determination to hop any cross barrier for an outstretched dollar bill.
I'm trying to get him to make me a saddle that matches my girls purse.
Hutchison in the house! What's up man? I can't even consider knocking the saddle, I can only stare with admiration of the craftsmanship, the skill, the creativity . . .
I have never officially met Corey, just brief exchanges at the start line. I'm the guy who always shouts, "I don't want to die a virgin!" at the quite moment after the race official does his thing.
I saw Corey do some hopping at the Frisco race. Before then, I had never seen Dave Towle blow chunks of chili out his nose while on the mic.
For sure, that saddle is nice. Not just slapped together. I wonder if he could cut strips of the material to make matching bar tape?
Ross's was fun yesterday, but he never did do a new post, did he? I'm sure Corey won't let us down!
Give Ross a chance, being in school is hard, there are lots of distractions. It was a damn good thing the internet didn't exist back when I was in school.
The market for high end patterned saddles and bar tape has got to be huge, I would think copyright issues would be the only problem. At least it is safer than Koach's nutrition bar sales.
Speaking of nutrition... I just about stole someones roast beef hoagie from the fridge here at work. It was looking tasty.
What's your favorite dish from The Rio? I usually get the Spinach Enchiladas.
Does chips and salsa count as a dish? I usually just go there for a couple recovery margaritas. I haven't visited the Denver Rio in a long time though.
There should be more restaurants that sponsor cycling. Remember when Swanky's was in the game? Rodney is a good dude, too bad that team was a bunch of non-drinking, social recluses, with the exception of a few Matt Edwards, er . . . people.
Matt Edwards is a drunk. Last time I got drunk with him, he punched me in the face and gave me a bloody nose! I need to keep my blood as thick as possible, don't you know!?
I heard he has an iPhone though.
Didn't Tokyo Joes use to sponsor a team?
That was the best part of the whole incident. I saw him looking up punching technique on the iPhone prior to decking you.
Did you hit up the gossip pages yet today? This one is pretty amusing. Ricki Lake? Are you smoking rocks?
If you're 39 like Ricki Lake, and telling someone that you are "have a crush" on them... you might be a 'tard.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Looks like we are going to have to cross train on Sunday. Where should we go snowshoeing?
The link you send me for that other guy trying to go pro is funny. How come he doesn't post any real world results, just tests and trainer results?
I think the bro needs to recalibrate his powertap. He said he's doing VOS though, so I can't wait to watch the results. I hope Saperstein takes him in the TT.
Let's convince someone to meet us at Brainard to snowshoe... we can ride up, change, snowshoe, then get a ride back down the hill. Epic!
I can't wait to see VOS results roll in this year. ATTENTION COLORADO CYCLISTS . . . everybody else will try to gang up on you!!!
They are tired of us taking their prize money at their race in their prime season when we are still mid-winter, not really thinking about racing seriously.
Forget going outside, ever. Some of those blogtards spend some serious time on the trainer. We should be doing that, right?
I wonder what Corey's doing right this moment... I thought he was going to come out to chat with us?
Riding outside is dumb. I want to just stay indoors where I'm closer to my coffee pot.
We should probably get this one out of the way . . . Corey, sorry for flooding your inbox with notices of comments on your blog, all 15 and counting.
You think Ross is awake yet? I expected a response by now, it is after high noon, even on campus.
Yeah Corey, thanks for hosting the conversation today. If you want, we'll let you pick whose blog gets hit tomorrow.
I think Ross sets his clock on "Astana Time", you know, whatever time it is in Derkaderkastan - Derka derka!
The Berger stirs . . . There is action on his blog, very Fiskian with just a picture and a couple words.
I hope Krughoff shows up over here and says something about his comment hit of the morning. It can't take that long to moderate can it?
Oh snap... Ross just set himself up so bad! Wait till I get home and post the picture of him from just this past November with a popped collar on his pastel iZod shirt.
"Oh yeah, well the Jerk-store called, and they're all out of you."
All the other blogs you talked about bring up serious question of racial equality, motivation and decision making in the real world.
Prime example as to why inner city kids aren't trying to live the cycling dream. Skip the bankruptcy part and reread the hoop dreams salary. Don't most pro cyclists have negative salaries and live below the poverty line . . . we shoot for being welfare eligible, that's sad.
Ballers is crazy yo!
$14mil paycheck, and nothing to show for it but some bad press. I bet his "financial advisor" didn't go broke though!
Then you have a cyclist, working harder than any 3 pro ballers combined, just to make a dream paycheck of $6k.
Uh, I take these multi vitamins and supplements because one, it's the most baller shit you can do and two, it makes my dookie twinkle.
Nah, Chappelle was right, crushed up diamonds are the way to go.
I gots me some rocks too, but they're waxy and sorta yellow, and smell like clorox when I burn them in my little glass tube. Steel-wool makes a great filter!
Seth, did you get your car back from the shop yet?
No word yet which is probably a good thing, although they did say if it was going to cost more money they would call the insurance company, not me. It saddened me to put gas into the PT Cruiser last night . . . it felt like some sort of involuntary acceptance. The neutral drops made up for it though. If the tires aren't square by the time I return the thing then I have failed.
What you really need to do is put some air under the tires of that PT Cruiser! Get a good jump in. That or we should take it out onto Evergreen Lake for some proper donuts!!!
I am regretting not getting the additional insurance from the rental company. It would have been worth the $216 to have the option to destroy the vehicle.
I can only hope I get my car back, the PT is a death trap in the snow.
I wish Corey would get here already... otherwise we'll have to start going through his stuff just to find something fun to do.
Anybody have any good pranks to play on Kendall down at VOS? You can probably get him freaked out real well if you talk about tubular gluing disasters and their resulting injuries.
Or food poisoning from homemade protein bars...
Or by telling him that you have reported his "business" to the FDA and the Health Department.
So,
I think I finally figured out what's going on here. Thanks for stopping by today, it'll be hard to get out of bed tomorrow knowing that I'll be back to zero comments on the day. On a brighter note, the traffic here is like 3 times what it normally is.
To address a few issues you've been discussing.
The saddle is nice, not sure if I have enough material for bar tape, but be assured it was considered when I made the seat.
I once tried to order 5000 cases of Koach's protein bars, but they would have actually charged my paypal, so the joke would have been on me.
I used to always eat spinach enchiladas, but I mostly just eat burritos now that I get them for free.
The rest of the stuff either doesn't make sense to me, or I'm not that concerned.
My friend Pat used to always choose the PT Cruiser on Gran Turismo 3 and get his ass kicked. Then again he drove a Fiero in real life so no one messed with him.
Nevermind "the rest" we were just having a conversation while we waited for you to show up!
Mmmm... free burritos; do you drink any margarita that people leave in their glasses, once they leave?
Are there still any Fiero's that haven't caught fire? Don't miss the new Night Rider coming out next week! Double damn!
Corey, thanks for hosting today. We'll make sure you have good traffic here for at least another day or so. If you have nothing better to do, pick a place for us to land tomorrow.
Good luck on the season . . . Never mind most of what Brian said, he's delirious with power at his new job.
That's Knight Rider you asshat, I'm sure Night Rider is a porn title by now. What?!? KITT is a Mustang?!?
It's true, I'm drunk... but don't tell anyone!
I must leave you now, enjoy the rest of your afternoon on here.
My only request for tomorrow is the best blog in all the world....

Like I even needed to say anything.
