Mmmm. Dry roads! Hill-peats was the name of the game today. As I've said before, when you live at two hundred feet, it's not always easy to rack up the kind of climbing you need. With a little creativity though, and an endless appetite for the same roads, over and over and over again, it can be done. I had to fly solo today, again, as nobody seemed to want to leave their trainers with rain in the forecast for the seven thousandth consecutive day. Sucks to be you guys. I hope you enjoyed sitting around in a pile of your own sweat, watching the 2003 Tour Highlights DVD again. Also, to mix things up a bit, I tried out these new intervals today. I call then,"Stop touching your brakes you punk ass bitch." For anyone who's raced the Kamikaze at Mammoth, their kind of like that. Over and over again, on each an every (down)hill-peat. Hands off until you reach bottom or leave the pavement; whichever comes first.
Like I said, The Great Thin Hope is running away with Georgia. With the exception of being struck by a falling meteor, this thing is money in the bank. With the overall being such a bore now, the real action is going to come from the true GC riders tomorrow, looking to salvage whats left of this years tour. Look for the big names to go away early and never look back. All this tactical bs is exactly why I don't like RRing in the first place. Can you imagine if Sauser and Absalon just let some guy ride away from them at the World Cup opener this weekend, simply because he was paid by the same company? In your dreams.
Give me a start and finish line, and I'll show you the fastest way from one to the other. Period.
