Once out though, it became abundantly clear that only a few hearty souls wanted to actually take pulls. Everyone wanted to be AT the front, but no one wanted to be ON the front. Protracted 40kmh+ pulls are hard, huh? Just like Ronnie Coleman says...
As for the first quick ride on the new equipment...
My hipster wheel is great. Stiff, and smooth. The 25c (26.5 in reality) Vittorias are sublime. If you have the means, pick up a pair. You will be happier, faster, and fresher. @ 105psi, the ride is muted, but absolutely NO speed is lost. If anything, they are faster over tar/chip roads. Get some. Thank me later.
Oh, you have "custom" shoes? Really? Padded uppers? Nah...don't need 'em! I guess we'll just have cleat inserts drilled directly into our metatarsals next?
Oh, and the DoJ has joined the whistleblower lawsuit against Lance. Damages just tripled to around $120M.
"Hello, my name is Lance...would you like fries with that?"
Maybe he and Bernie Madoff can share a cell...
And Petacchi retired yesterday...effective immediately. What's the over/under for doping allegations? I'll give it until the first stage of the Giro.
It's Wednesday...you're halfway there...

Neil Bezdek is the young buck. One of the kindest and most welcoming riders I ever came in contact with on the pro crit circuit. He's most definitely listening, and understanding the value of everything on offer here.
I knew it was Neil. The questions were sort of rhetorical...
As an aside, what would one give to sit on a bench at a coffee stop with Moser?
I do trash looks all the time and yet to spot anything worthwhile such as that.
