I think it's pretty disgusting. Here's a much better version, same soundtrack, but without the eye candy filler.

All the really interesting topics are covered by my blog, I save most of my creative writing for that.

Floyd may be doing the Diablo Challenge this year - could be his first race (non USCF/UCI) post aquittal... or maybe not.

I don't live in the Castro and I don't look anything like my avatar but I had it first.

Big crowds everywhere for it, though. We were blessed with phenomenal weather for the week, so that helped. I look forward to it being an annual event. I figured I wouldn't see Hincapie racing in it again, but since he won, he was asked if with T-Mobile, what were the chances he would come back to defend his title, and he grinned and said "very good!"

So that would be great. I never expected to see any European cycling teams, like, ever, and this is a very exciting and unexpected development for the Midwest.

Dam it... I keep thinking you're Diablo Scott.


I am glad the race is going well. Will this be an annual event ?

You know what guys and gals ??? I think we are buried in this thread with the unassuming title and the thread killing trolls are bypassing us.
We've managed to get to several pages without a "cow blood" train wreck hitting us.

Shhhhhh! Mums the woyd!

Indeed. A jewel that. Or actually, most of them.

I find the little hip-thrusting thingie particularly disturbing. In a positive manner, of course.

Crankyfeet, you are a good man.

Tough shit. Cranky is in love with me now, and I'm not changing it.

Yes! Missouri spent tons of money and really bent over backwards to make it a good event, rolled out the red carpet for the teams, crowds big everywhere. The riders seemed genuinely surprised by the support and at least said they liked the course. Check out the website at www.tourofmissouri.com I think if it had been poorly organized and did not go well, they wouldn't have wanted to do it again, but it sounds like it should only grow in the future. And maybe T-Mobile will make an appearance next year. That would be amazing.

Relax, I'm no stalker. You might think about a disguise though as cycling dorks outnumber nice ladies on this site I guess by about 200:1. And I'd put a "Nike Sux" jersey on just to be safe with you-know-who.

Sorry about the home town reference. I just guessed that from your ToM post. I'm accustomed unfortunately to it getting quiet here in Seattle when the east and midwest go to sleep. Darn it!! Now I've blown my cover. I hope you're not the stalker type. Long way to go for that though.

You're right, it's way too much trouble to stalk someone in Seattle. Wolfix is closer, and I hear he's rich -- JUST KIDDING!!!!

Hey, luckily for you, I am often up late at night doing metric tons of laundry (now that's a sexy image) so this is how I pass the time waiting for my dryer to buzz. As opposed to doing something productive.

Yes, thanks.

I take back all the bad stuff I ever said about Missouri, and I'll stop mispronouncing it too.
