Alright Aldag and Zabel…and Papp

Way to step up.

Yeah, they are readers, and I’m sure they’ll see this.

It’s weird that sponsors are talking about dumping the sport.  I look at all this crap as a step in the right direction. 

On that note, the whole Joe Papp admission was pretty weird.  He always seemed like a pretty good rider who could probably get on a team if he didn’t have a reputation for being a douchebag.  I don’t know the guy at all, but that was pretty much all that I ever heard of him and even if you are pretty good at biking, nobody wants to travel all over with a douchebag. 

I wasn’t surprised to hear he was on test., because lots of guys are, but the epo, hormones, et al surprised me.  I just think you’d be better than he ever was doing all that. 

Anyway, yeah, it was after he got popped and he probably would’ve kept living a lie, but it’s good that he came out with it.  Where’d he get the money for that stuff anyway?

It makes you wonder how many guys are doing something.  I can tell you there are guys doing stuff that aren’t good at all.  Can you imagine?  Anyway, for the record, I have never done anything harder than Monster Energy Drink, but we could probably all deduce that by now.

Yesterday

all my troubles seemed so far away…

Aeolus was on my side and I rocked a tailwind both ways.  That could lead a guy to commuting more often, but when the wind gods decide to punish me it will be less pleasant.

Yesterday was pretty much the best work day ever.  Mostly because the working part was minimal.  The Specialized ride was cool.  The roads over there suck, though.  Totally industrial.  Reminds me of riding from Long Beach out to Palos Verdes except without the payoff at the end.  Those guys hammer though, so that part is good.

In other news, go to Sleevie’s site and read up.  I seriously worry about the two of them, but am super glad that the soon-to-be Mrs. Sleevie is (relatively) okay.  Avoid Moab like the plague you two!!

Bike to Work Day

So, it’s bike to work week.  Since I started working for a bike company I have been sucking pretty bad at commuting, which is kinda sad.  What with my current schedule I need to leave the casa by 5 to ride in.  That’s 5am, gang.  Yeah, I know I am a slacker and I waste upwards of 7 hours a day on sleep.  Anyway, Specialized is having an industry wide contest for longest commute with the winner getting an iPod.  Being motivated by the thought of toys I am going for it tommorrow.  I think I have a special dispensation to be late, but if it goes good I might try doing it one day a week.  That is how I will stick it to the (gas) man.  We’ll see though, I like sleep.  Plus, it would alter my current 1 hour a day whether-I-need-it-or-not training program.
