And thus I get to read these sorts of gems from the local cycling listserv. This one in response to a stolen bike:
Sounds like the same MO as the nigletts who "traded up" at Bicycle Link a couple of months ago.
Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing its idiot!
This is repulsive to me on three levels: 1. this dude is a douchebag and throws that thinking around like it ain't no thing, and will post it in a public forum 2. That half the guys on the listserv here find nothing wrong with this 3. he rides a triathaloner bike on group rides, mostly in the aerobars.
I know that most of what triathaloners do is embarrassing and repelling to most civilized people, but can this be blamed simply on the triathaloner status?
no.
he's a southern triathaloner person. And one who looks like an overstuffed sausage in his cycling kit. Go figure.
Anyway, in news that doesn't suck, I won another GA cyclocross race. Even after getting my ass handed to me HARD in cincinnati, and with only 3 rides in 2 weeks, I managed to win a really fun course (think Charm city course). Racing on the state/local level is a world of difference between UCI racing. But I'll take it.
My new cannondale bike is wicked awesome, too.
