Meh...

Woke up to drizzle and wet roads...bike is clean...didn't feel like getting wet...
Ribs hurt like a bitch...the way my luck runs, I'd hit a line on the road and eat it again...
Weather induced headache...was I concussed?
Not a lot of motivation...

Did I ride...Hells no!

I ate brekkie with the family, went to Target and Publix and now we're going to look at a house.

Powertap is on Ebay...(search Powertap SL custom)
I'll let it go for $750...

You actually have to ride your bike to get any good from a Powertap...
You need it like you need a hole in the head...

part of one of my christmas present is getting a coach...and a lot of the coaches i have checked into like for you to have a Powertap or SRM or Ergomo Powermeter.

Not to be too mean here, but you need to ride your bike. No amount of technology or coaching will make you faster, or a better rider, if you don't throw your leg over it at least three or four days a week. Anyone that says different is full of shit...
Here's your coaching...
Ride your bike, get some fitness, stay in the crit for longer than halfway and THEN get a powermeter.

Way to rip into someone who was only asking for some advice. Did it ever occur to you that this young girl was only looking for advice from someone she thought knew what they were talking about? You seem to get pleasure in ripping into her. Aren't you in your late 30's? Shouldn't you be grown up enough not to pick on people smaller than you?

If college was so easy for you that you could get two degrees and still find time to ride your bike then why can't you keep a job?

Before you go calling other people chubby, you may want to take a look at yourself in the mirror with your bike shorts on, because the people that ride behind you have to watch your butt jiggle.

You talk a lot of smack and noone cares about your expensive equipment.

I suggest you just shut your huge mouth and ride your bike a little more often yourself. Two or three days a week is not good enough! Having kids is no excuse either, most people have full time jobs and they still find time to ride their bike.

Okay, mr. falcor, I'll rip your dumb ass instead.
Point 1) As for me not having a job, I quit to take care of my two kids. If you don't think that's a job, try it for 30 days and see how you feel after.
Point 2) I've never said I wasn't a tad thicker in the ass than I really should be. If you read this blog and actually know me, I'm very self-depricating about this fact. The fact that I'm about 10 pounds heavier than I should be and STILL faster than you really bothers you, huh? I really don't care, because Euro team aren't calling, so I'll eat a cookie every now and then.
Point 3) I don't give a fuck if you don't like my expensive equipment, Don't hate the player because you can't afford the game. I have it to makes me happy, not to make you feel bad for being in a lower tax bracket.
Point 4) I ride, at minimum, 3 days and usually 4 days a week. That's the deal I made with the wife. It's called respect for your spouse.
Point 5) When your testicles descend, feel free to say whatever you have to say to my face. You obviously know who I am, but lack the stones to venture outside the anonymity of the internet. I'm betting it won't happen.
Ponit 6) If you don't like what I have to say on MY blog, don't fucking come back. No one forces you to click on this page. I write this for my own amusement, not to appease some douchebag.

Shall I go on?
