Sorry to hear about your tree branch incident, Steve. It was last year’s Tour de Romandie where Tejay van Garderen had a tree branch smack him in the face and knock him out of the race.

You’ll have to tell Trudi that they actually collect those parachute packs before leaving the airplane. Looks like she is trying to take hers home…

“High cholesterol” is not necessarily a bad thing. All your sex hormones are made from cholesterol and it is used to counter inflammation. Your HDL is rocking and your triglycerides are great, both of which are far more important markers than total cholesterol or LDL. Good info online at chriskresser.com if you want to do some reading. If you’re worried about heart issues, get a calcium scan of your heart and/or carotid arteries – that will tell you whether or not you have anything to worry about.

Time to ride a computrainer for 6 hrs a day while training for Ironman and never ride outside….. Just kidding, your stuff is generally entertaining and how a lot of us old folks think. Cheers, Gordo

Comment on Back Racing, Sort of……Crawdad Kermesse Race Report by CDP

@channel_zero The percentage of the festival that watched the race is commensurate with the percentage of the general population that watches cycling. To wit, not that many. But, there is synergy derived from aligning with a town festival of that size that transcends the number of spectators the race attracts. There is also the factor of cycling spectating not historically being part of the local culture here that requires years to develop.

I have to ask, what about BMC? George, Och, history of PED use…sort of like the elephant in the room for me

Sundquist, I loved it when you crushed all the Cat 3′s in the amateur crit at Twilight in like 91 or 92. Then to top it off you did a “Superman” across the finish line. Good times, hopefully Gene Dixon’s check cleared

I once came within 10 or 20 feet of getting hit by a very big tee branch (branch fell just behind me on a ride). It was big enough that a direct hit would have meant death or very serious injury. Definitely one of those “makes you grateful” moments – a few more seconds at a stoplight or whatever and who knows what would have happened.

Steve,
The older we get, the more weird or out of the ordinary things seem to happen. Last week on a training ride, I caught myself nearly drifting off the side of the road, almost hitting the curb. That never happened years ago. What is really frightening is what our friends look like. I’m 63 this year. Most of my non-cycling friends look as if they swallowed a basketball. They can’t move too well either. The funny part of it is that I have 10 times the injuries they have ever sustained.

At some point in time we have to take a long look at what we are doing and maybe put in a few modifications. It is all part of the great process anyway.
