I just did a great post. Unfortunately, Blogger ate it. You guys are just going to have to do without the musak this week.
Oh, what the hell. One song won't hurt.
See you at DCCX.
Oh yeah, one other thing. The best racers I know, including a couple world class level guys, are humble, good dudes. Yet some fairly low Cat racers I know who have accomplished a whole lot less are completely full of themselves. What the hell is up with that? Is the Douchebag Olympics an actual event now, and they're in training for it?

You're nice to your coworkers right? Probably real nice to your boss?
Bike racers are in the office at a bike race. And arguably you're
their boss.
And you won't get too far in bike racing if you're not a good
representation of your product. People don't buy you don't race.
Honestly I've really tried to change my behaviour since I started
wearing a kit with the name of the company I work for on it.
Lastly, Tim Johnson doesn't walk into your office with a chip on his
shoulder about how well he does your job. Why some white collar dude
thinks he's God's gift to cycling just because he's a good white
collar dude is beyond me.
Sorry, just got done watching "Behind the Barriers" #4. It's basically
a graduate level course in being a kind of PRO Competitive Cyclist
will never be able to sell you.
Wait ... what?
I thought DCCX was way later in the autumn. They're having some kind of "scrubs and rookies" deal I was half-heartedly thinking about trying.
Time flies, man. Life will pass you by, if you fail to attempt grabbing it by the balls.
Er, do you have any jobs at the Tacchino that would allow time for a guy to try a lap, or two? You know, without a surging pack around him, goading him into hitting max heart rate and barfing up a lung?
P.S. - (1*Lemmie) > (12* ...er...just about everyone but Keef?)
Steve, I could definitely use some more volunteers in a couple jobs. Drop me a line off line.
That's what is awesome about Cat 4&5. Nothing to prove except to yourself and you can just go out and have fun. And not be a douchebag.
It's those darn Cat 2&3'ers that seem to be the worst. Many seem to think that they would be pros if they just had _____. (More time, money. Less job, kids, wife, responsibilities, fill in the blank.)
As I coninue to learn 'cross suffering is best served with smiles. Trash talking between you and your carpooling team mate is one thing and Mr. Smith and I seem to be writing a PhD dissertation in that regard.
Im guessing you have a much broader exposure to the wackyness of the low cats crowd.
Um, by "broad exposure" I mean that as I'm a neophyte and haven't been racing as long as you guys.
