A girl, my Lord in a flat-bed Ford

Must be miscellaneous Monday. Let's begin with my thanks to everyone who commented, here and elsewhere, on the Seattle Urban Time Trial vidz. You know how I love to use Rock 'n Roll lyrics as quotes, and today is no exception. Urban Time Trial Video: (she looked at me with those big brown eyes and she said): You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet. B-b-b-b-b-b-b baby.


I was trying to find some live coverage of the Giro this morning and came across this video game. These graphics are spectacular, BUT, let me get this straight: You SIT ON YOUR ASS AND USE A PLAYSTATION? To manipulate the peloton? REALLY? Do I have it backwards? All along I thought the idea was to move, spin, work and get fitter. The only thing these 'players' move are their thumbs. YO Pro-Cycling Manager marketing dudes: Call me. This is peanut butter waiting for chocolate.


And speaking of PB, we are working on the next UTT, a demo for McDonalds. Run is from the Bainbridge Mac's out to Golden Arches 13 miles up the road in Poulsbo. Trying to get Suz and the Peanut Butter and Company Seattle Team to come over and ride. And of course to complete the circle, their team kits are manufactured and produced by JLRacing.


Here is the bike route for Saturday's ride up to Port Townsend. The two-day duathlon (it's a tri if you include the camping), consists of a 90 HIT spin in the HoM, the 43 mile ride from the BAC to Port Townsend, and camping Saturday night. (You are required to watch Officer and a Gentleman, again, prior to departure). Sunday is the XXXIII (that's 33 in Super Bowl years) Rhoddy Run and the return ride to BI. Sound like fun? All are welcome to ride up or back with us, we'll depart at 1300 on Saturday from the Club. We have two SAG vehicles. I have one more camping spot if anyone is interested.


Things are falling nicely into place. It all feels good except my left piriformis. We have a recovery run scheduled for 1630 this afternoon and it appears that it will be considerably drier than yesterdays 3:15 in the rain.


That wraps up Misc. Mon.


I can't help you with your troubles if you won't help with mine. Take it Easy.

Looks like we are going to have to have a contest to decide who gets the RCVman scholarship. Fastest 40K on the bike?
