Gimme some fast flat racing! Belgian hardman Dave Chambers and I carpooled up to Malabar Farms to race yet another hilly...HILLY race today. Upon arriving we saw the Masters race would have a former pro, Mighty Scott Young (and his 13 pound bike), the 2TallWall - Jeff Blodgett, Chris Grizzards, Blair the Mountain Goat, etc. etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh boy. Scheduled for 3 laps or 30 miles of pain we set off. Actually up. From the gun CLIMB CLIMB CLIMB. I hang first lap, Dave hangs, Jeff is eyeballing Scott. Maybe you don't know this, but we live in the flatness of Central Ohio. Freeway overpasses are our cols, our muurs, our collinas, our backen (you get the idea). It's freaking flat around here. Second lap and the big dogs eat, actually climb and it's bye-bye Mark and Dave. I felt like Mark Cavandish at Milan -San Remo. Fat, Fast, and Dropped.</div>

We didn't even stay around for the finish.<br />

Damn you Scott Young!<br />

Maybe better stated,<span style="color: #f4cccc;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">SCOTT YOUNG</span><span style="color: black;"> is</span> <span style="color: blue;">Dope</span>.

They called it a 'warm up' race. Blah, blah blah...Sure sure, they both are way too strong for the masters. Good to see them wasting precious energy with the youngsters.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">I'll cut to the end...you don't need all the details. The Int'l Playboy is reeled back, so is the 2TallWall.

<span style="font-family: Arial;">As for me, I set new power meter records for 15, 30, 40, and 60 minutes of effort. Bottom line, producing that power at my racing weight (which I am 6-7 pounds over) would have made me a winner.

I'd rather tell you about the Larry Allen Ride. Actually it's called Larry's Last Ride. Maybe I was thinking about the ride scheduled for Monday morning when I lined up with Cadillac George, K Flintstone, and Jeff Blodgett aka The New Sheriff at the 50+ race Saturday night. Chet Scott got an idea just after Larry passed on to the big Cat. 1 mountain in the sky a few years ago that we should repeat his last bike ride. So, we've been doing it (when the thunder and lightning storms don't stop us) every year since. Well, the race was uneventful for everyone but The Sheriff. Look out for him this year. Keith, Geo, and I got dropped hard in the winds and in the wake of Mighty Scott Young's accelerations. Do I chock it up to too few training miles? Dunno. I'd rather tell you about Larry's ride anyway. 29 turned out, we rode, we chirped, we pledged to do it every year in Larry's honor. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(if you want a better look at the pictures, just click on it to enlarge)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_a-Ix966VjqYQ4QF5-4e9ZdiNHSDz1maZAIeIZIxqy5ANT5T50iFCBYil6bOR5rSWUDrSY4xGE2bfohA98f59Ct-x2wIbzp6SJ8VYxRirtz4cGquDsLv1QAIu8AK4UD9jfxveVxDvcfol/s1600/Mel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_a-Ix966VjqYQ4QF5-4e9ZdiNHSDz1maZAIeIZIxqy5ANT5T50iFCBYil6bOR5rSWUDrSY4xGE2bfohA98f59Ct-x2wIbzp6SJ8VYxRirtz4cGquDsLv1QAIu8AK4UD9jfxveVxDvcfol/s320/Mel.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />

Sports fans, if you have a bucket list and are a cyclist, this is one place you don't want to miss. Hallowed ground, a sacred space, their Canton, Ohio. I got the same feeling in Boston one December day when the grounds keeper at Fenway let us walk down the ramp and into the stadium. You see, the Tour of Flanders (or Ronde) is the equivalent of the OSU v Michigan game. If you live in Belgium and even if you have no interest in cycling, you have an opinion about whether Fabian Cancellara was guilty of mechanical doping or if Stijn DeVolder is a worthy champion. Oh boy, do you have an opinion. </div><div style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Georgia; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

No need for a yellow line rule here, if you aren’t at the front of the race, there is no way for you to move up. Sometimes I even felt nervous when a car was coming the other way. Would there be enough room? At one point a car full of tourists stopped me and asked for directions, of course in Flemish, when I replied in my best Brooklyn accent “What do I look like, a map?, they all began laughing and calling me "Lance, Lance, Lance." Then, I guess it was better than "Floyd, Floyd, Floyd."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1m26RH_cV_uVPe3PBkd2l3V2EEvu9fkYi9JBpGFcNuQ-QaaQtcEphANi-7zym5Z3Vi0TwOkJ_6mJyICwlG48VhOGquNBIOw-ECkZpzphXG6KjBTTWOjuvobzEuzzA_0NQHYUgg-kk3K4Q/s1600/cobbles+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1m26RH_cV_uVPe3PBkd2l3V2EEvu9fkYi9JBpGFcNuQ-QaaQtcEphANi-7zym5Z3Vi0TwOkJ_6mJyICwlG48VhOGquNBIOw-ECkZpzphXG6KjBTTWOjuvobzEuzzA_0NQHYUgg-kk3K4Q/s320/cobbles+2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font: 16.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"></div><div style="font: 16.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Riding the cobbles was what we were here to do, and we got plenty of practice. Ask Mel about the blisters she made on her hands. My bike bounced left and right following Kristof. No way was I going to attempt to ride next to him over the cobbles, I followed Phil Ligget’s saged advice and kept to the crown in the middle of the road. By the time we got to the Oud Kwaremont climb, about 3 hours into the ride, I was ready for the cobbles. Bounce, bounce - seated bounce and I was past Kristof who was turning his gear over a bit slower now. There’s the church and I’m up. Certainly that was enough. Back to tell Ronnie about our exploits.

Night before, I dragged myself home from a hell week. Well, there's racing tomorrow. But my mind was elsewhere, as was most of my TEAM. Vacations, kids back college, the honeydew lists, sloth, slowness, and the consumption of buttered rolls kept our team to just three. Well, Chairman Fred and myself, plus THE IP, that's "The International Playboy" Ted Pablo - who is not even on our team until next year...extra points for THE IP<br />
<br />
Back to the race: At the start NO TED. Here he comes, 2 hour drive from Cleveland and he arrives AFTER the scheduled start. Boys boys, please let this man dress and line up proper. Thank you<br />
<br />
First lap, and if you've raced the Welsh Hills you know there is a screaming downhill into a mean left turn. Fred and I previewed it in warm up. THE IP didn't. We also saw that there was plenty of gravel in the downhill roadway....none of which IP saw. I tried to tell him about the downhill as we neared...but<br />
<br />
My next task was to convince the leaders to sit up and wait for the guy who drove 2 hours only to crash on the first lap. They agreed, Fred dropped back to pace him back into the race, as I chatted about how the Tour de France would have been different if Alberto had only waited for Andy...la-dee-da.<br />
<br />
The race progressed and I kept thinking about work. Damn, I have to remember to copy this file and transcribe that conversation. Halfway through the race and I sat up. Just sat up and pulled over. Who was I kidding, my heart wasn't in it. <br />

Here's the short story:</span></div><div style="font: 14px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 14px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Thursday night was the crit in Dublin, Same course I broke my shoulder five years ago. Gulp....We had 17 in my Master's race. Majority team there was Chicago Firemen and some guys that never raced crits. So, I did what Chairman Fred would do, sprinted from the gun and led most of the race. I felt pretty good, breaking some legs on that short steep uphill. After 1 lap to go was called I jumped right after turn two, hit turn three with a gap and no one followed me up the last climb, there was to be no sprint for 1st. Gold for Pantani. Podium questions were about exorcising the Ghost of the collarbone. </span><br />

</span></div><div style="font: 14px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Friday Night was street sprints. The course was 500 meters long (built with Farmer John in mind) with competitors required to maintain lanes for 250. Kind of strange racing, because 500 meters is too far to sprint and breaking from lanes at 250 doesn’t allow for drafting, so it was pure power then almost coasting to the line. It is however a great spectator sport, with guys cranking like madmen for less than a minute. I finished third, and of all the events, this hurt my legs the most. I’m guessing I have to work on my above-threshold riding.</div><div style="font: 14px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 14px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Saturday was a road race in Zanesfield, where we have raced before, except the course hit a steep and long climb a half mile from the start. I think we had 20 racers today, and all but 6 were blown out on the first climb. Round we go and I get pipped at the line by the Ramon Colon, a cop from Wash. DC who beat me in every heat Friday night in the sprints. </span></div><div style="font: 14px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 14px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">So I finished with Gold, Silver, and Bronze, and had a great time. </span></div>Marcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17495991867286238140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659650146580151735.post-91753029048416860092010-08-07T14:19:00.001-04:002010-08-07T14:19:48.498-04:00Abbey Scores a Lake Hope Podium<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN5tS-0LG41UU_EXR81hAPageO9XrEKL9PPJskREAydhCKZec8FJFLakkLhJumaTeW-KT-9x_AK1HF-DZulK4ywfK8ZS6IGZSqTkrjauT04ZnCPgSrTxNCj6n9oO_muctCnpWiBkKwDEH1/s1600/LAKE+HOPE+080110+384.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN5tS-0LG41UU_EXR81hAPageO9XrEKL9PPJskREAydhCKZec8FJFLakkLhJumaTeW-KT-9x_AK1HF-DZulK4ywfK8ZS6IGZSqTkrjauT04ZnCPgSrTxNCj6n9oO_muctCnpWiBkKwDEH1/s400/LAKE+HOPE+080110+384.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>Hey, even the women on A World of Pain cycling can kick your ass.

Yes sir, the Pain-meisters in attendance included Cadillac George, Dave “I Am Curious Yellow” Chambers,” and Marco Pantani for the masters race (along with some Cat. 1 who had once rode the Olympic trials), Farmer John in the 3/4, and Dan ”man o’ God,” and Brian O!
