Seriously Mario...

Most cyclists retire, pack on 25 pounds, and their edges get softer.  Cipo has obviously invested in a Smith machine

Wonder what he says before dinner?  Probably quotes Conan...



And let's not delve into the fact he's shirtless...or jerseyless, as the case may be.  If I was strapped like that, I'd never wear a damn shirt.  Nor would any of you...

Another yellow day.  I went down to the river with The Duke yesterday.  It looked like Columbia was suffering from it's mid-Summer inversion, only yellow.  I wonder if I could lift the pollen off my truck in one piece, sort of like a candy-coated shell...
But hey, it's 80+ degrees.  One could be in Wisconsin...

And my Limited Edition, double secret, team issue Mad Alchemy kit got here yesterday.  Too bad the guys at Verge can't size clothing to save their lives.  Now, I know I'm not built like a whippet, but even if I lost every pound of body weight I have to spare, this shit would be sausage casing.
The jersey is AT LEAST 2 sizes small.  I ordered a XL after talking to the guys at Verge.  No way.  Pit to pit is 17"  Sure, it's race fit, and super stretchy, sort of skinsuit-like material, but it's not even CLOSE to their size chart. 
According to Verge, I should wear a large jersey, and large bibs.  Not on this plane of existence.
That being said...
They design is killer.  The material itself is super nice.  And if anyone is interested in it, I will sell it for exactly what I have in it.  Hit me up for details.
Again, be aware that the jersey fits much like a Medium, and the bibs (large) do as well. The armwarmers are size large, and fit as they should. 


 You won't see another one like this...and if you do, I'll teach you the secret handshake.

Take your Allegra D today, lest you hack like a retired coal miner after the ride tonight.
