At last night's team sprint practice, I put the beat down on all-comers, including masters women, and junior girls. Also managed to outsprint a former masters world champ (team pursuit) but I don't think he was trying very hard.

You guys are cracking me up with your glasses. Nice job crushing the dreams of the Jr Girls caloso. I'm sure they had it coming.

F*** the police.
After having my El Cheapos eject the lens a half dozen times in the last few rides, I'm breaking down. For some reason I have no problem buying two SRM's but paying more that $40 for sunglasses sends me into a death spiral of frugality.

I'm not that kind of hip. The team offered up a deal on Oakleys in the spring. Even heavily discounted they were still too rich for my blood. I promptly went and bought a pair of Giro Instigators to dim the Oakley urge. The Giro line was on uber clearance at the LBS and I still felt a little violated.
Nice helmet GA. I picked up the same one via the CC deal.

Lady just came in to buy some stuff. Probably 80-85 years old. Black T-shirt with some Chinese looking characters, a year, etc.
T-shirt, on the back, in relatively big letters.
"Year of the C*ck"
I have to believe this was one of those made-overseas-and-we-didn't-realize-there's-a-cultural-difference-between-rooster-and-cock-and-let's-blow-out-these-tshirts-at-a-bargain-store kind of shirt. And the poor lady bought one.

So it would seem that according to USA Cycling's chart, I'm the #1 Master's TT guy in the nation right now.
The line for autographs starts over there.
All this makes me so excited I'm going to go ride my TT bike. I was planning on doing that anyway, but now I'll be immune from the curses and bottles hurled my way.

I missed my chance to get my autograph last time Ontario happened. Damn!
I don't suppose you're racing Torrance this weekend...
I'm on the fence about Brentwood and San Clemente.
