Addendum: I just heard Harsh!!!!!

Just got a chance to listen, they're talking about how they're putting in bike lanes. HAH! Let's hope they're not all like the bike lanes on barry road near the entrance to zona rosa.

Sounds like a great time Michael. Will you be blogging the event live back here to your ER homies? Thanks!

I vote for Captain America.

Borat -- Captain America.
Borat -- Captain America.
Borat -- Captain America.

Hmmm...

Pink, I'll try my best to give you all up-to-the-minute reports. I'm taking the laptop. However, I don't think they have wi-fi throughout our fine state's national parks yet, do they?

Last night I got to ride with the Discovery Team mechanic! It was cool he showed up for the weekly Cracker Barrel group ride and there where only five us there so we got to visit quite a bit. Sounds like a pretty cool job. I am going to go check out the team truck later, very cool!

And yes Michael, keep us posted on the race if you can, that would be cool. If you do decide to do the Borat thing, please post NO pictures, I want to wait and see them on TV the following weekend :shock:

You know, ACTION shots!

Question: why does Captain America have scales on his shoulders? Are he and Aquaman related or something?

my dad walked down from his office to the hilton on friday and chatted up the mechanic and took some pics.

That is Vince working on the bikes at the Disco truck, he is the one I rode with the other night.

All the teams have stuff out working on bikes this morning.

So Pink-o et al. Drinking at my house, riding to Pinks, riding to the course. What time? I can ride with broken fingers--will make holding the beers a little challenging. Call me Pink. Greg
Or they pussing out, and not going up the FF/K hill out of Parkville (Union Chapel Road) to 45??? IF so, kudos to the promoters. If not, they need to get some cajones. G

OK... what's the deal with broken fingers?

by **bohemian** on Mon Sep 10, 2007 5:17 pm

I hit a strong POG (pocket of gravity) at TT last week. Left hand, so no big loss. "Just a flesh wound", "'Tis but a scratch", etc.

yes, but the splash into the creek was pretty spectacular :shock:

sorry you had to do it so early in the ride G. i didnt even know you bailed until we already cleared midline. glad to hear its livable.

Well, when you finish up in Parkville and head South to the Plaza, give me a call. I hate celebrating alone.

I just watched Levi Leipheimer's pre-race interview on that link and he says he's looking forward to the end of his season so he can mountain bike and drink beer. Should drop him an invite to TT tonight......... :wink:
