Okay, let's end this constant training...time to race.

Hang the turbo trainer up in the garage, bring your legs, some beer, girls in skimpy bikinis, make mine gluten-free (the beer not the cha-chas), cuz we are racing on the Mid-Ohio race course this week.

My God is one Cruel God

Two weeks of testing (so far) reveal that the physical problems I experienced in late 2009 and all of 2010 probably are related to a food allergy. Gluten to be specific. Doctors tell me that the June dog/bike collision might have initiated this reaction to wheat and wheat by-products. The way it works is that my body's response to the protean gluten in wheat causes all the little 'bumps' and 'hairs" in my digestive tract to die and then I cannot absorb the nutrients in food, vitamins, EPO, HGH, Testosterine, etc. The harder I worked, the more muscle I tore up (without it being able to repair itself) the weaker I became and the slower on the bike.

By late fall last year, I was getting smoked in the sprints by women, small children and Butch.

Good news, my abstinance from wheat - AND YOUR GODDAMM RIGHT - (no more Belgian beers and my sacramental pasta dishes) renewed my strength and spirits. Bad news, I'm only about 4 months of training behind you knuckleheads.

Don't look behind - I'm gaining on you....

1st Team Ride of the Year

A few observations from Tuesday night:
-We have to change the term "off season" because some of us think it actually is the "eat offten" season or "drink more offten" season
-Conti has been secretly training, or he's doping.
-Looks like Butch has gotten rid of all the PINK in his wardrobe for 2010.
-the new team kit looks better than expected.
-Even though Farmer John wasn't there, did you notice his organics were quite strong on Warrensburg last night.
-When I grow up I think I'd rather be Dave Bernon than Chairman Fred.
-It's a long season, plan to get stronger, faster, and please clean your chain.
