Hey, this is what racers need - soon, you'll be able to buy beers at Burger King, or at least at select franchises. Because what you need when you're eating some high calorie, high fat, intensely tasty junk food, is some highly caloric, empty-calorie stuff that will make you want to eat lots more high calorie, high fat, intensely tasty junk food.
Okay, fine, it's the last thing a racer needs. But as a business proposition, I don't see how this could lose. And if I'm an Internal Medicine doc with a specialty in diabetes or obesity, I'd be asking the local BK franchises if I could stick a business card on their cork boards.

I went out to Ida Lee Park in Leesburg with Kendrow and JeanBean today to lay out the Tacchino 'cross course. The bad news is that the old course is gone. The good news is I think you're going to like the changes that the construction has forced. Don't ask for inside info because there isn't any; we have to clear the changes with the park officials. Meanwhile, remember that Ida Lee is a great, family friendly facility. You can catch a swim or a hot whirlpool bath in an enormous jacuzzi pool after the race for a nominal fee, and there are many good restaurants in Leesburg - not to mention the shopping outlets if somebody in your family absolutely can't be bothered to spectate. The race will fall on the weekend before Thanksgiving. Some of you may be at Whitmores way the hell out on Long Island. The rest of you? You're invited to the Tacchino. More details to follow.

The economy may be tough. But don't worry about how bad it is. As long as Manhattan-based investment bankers can still afford hookers, things must not be that bad. And as long as those who lecture us about family values and faith and ethics can still manage to have affairs and pay hush money, we know that life goes on as it always has. As for the guy allegedly having the affair and his boss, like him, I'm confident that the ethics authorities will clear him and find that nothing he did was wrong.
Pardon me while I go stand out in the cold and ponder for a while how outmoded my tired old traditional morals are compared to the people who are telling me how to live.
So The sporting life is good to me right now. If only Syracuse wasn't weaker than an octagenarian with malaria...

It was a good weekend for me. The Tarheels beat Notre Dame - a team I despise, after having been probably the only Catholic kid in New York to hate Teh Irissh from birth. Then Dallas and Washington both choked out. The Devil Rays beat, and beat up, the BoSox. And it looks like my Giants may actually win tonight on MNF. Buffalo had a bye week, so at least nothing bad happened - a familiar refrain of Bills fans. So The sporting life is good to me right now. If only Syracuse wasn't weaker than an octagenarian with malaria...

The Gints. Oh yeah epic FAIL! Loved every minute of it. Talk to you later.

Jim...please say the long uphill to the finish is still there....Jeff
Jim - 4&1 Giants still in a better spot than my 3&3 Vi-queens. 12-10 over the Li-downs was pathetic.
Jon - Yeah, Eli had a bad game. We'll see who's crowing in January tho... actually we'll see who's crowing a few weeks sooner than that. Like this weekend's Cowboys & Skins games, it was a classic ambush / we were asleep game.
Jeff - it won't disappoint. That part of the course is actually now a 50 foot tall dirt mound. We considered asking for permission to make people run up it, Old School two-hands-two-feet cyclocross style. You will like the new finish.
Boz - My condolences to you on being a Vikes fan.
I am under Noo 2 U - is that good or bad?
It's good Betty. It means probably new to most of my readers, who, based on referral logs, appear to be local racers who I surmise may not visit your blog.
I'm not sure where to move your blog to though. I'm having conceptual trouble with the womens ghetto, "Interesting Women." *All* women are interesting of course, just not necessarily in ways I like. But I'm not sure how to categorize your blog or some of the others. Like I know Beth from 'Cross so that's where she goes. Uff Da is going to land in Roadies eventually because she's a roadie, or maybe a crosser, and Suki probably deserves a category of her own if you've ever read her stuff. You're sort of in this rec rider / household blogging niche that I don't know how to classify...
Any suggestions for how I could unfairly stereotype you into a new link category would be welcome here.
Nothing against "rec" riders but I think what I do is beyond the rec realm....just sayin. That you would not know because we haven't been on a ride together :). If you must unfairly categorize (your words) "enthusiast" works well for those of us that put the training hours in but race infrequently or not at all. Hopefully in 2009 I'll work my way up to the roadie category ;).
I'm sure you'd crush me if it was flat, uphill, or downhill into a headwind, on road, recumbent, tri, uni- freeride, trials, or track bikes.
But if it was plummeting on any bike of your choosing, down a steep drop to go headfirst into a tree or to lose a square yard of skin in some rocks, or for that matter to just crash for no apparent reason on the road, I'd kick your ass. My ability to do this in an unparallelled manner is well documented.
And don't you forget it.
