Holy hell
I'm no lightweight (built more like you) but I can safely say that's the most diesel guy I've ever seen in a bike race. I think he's commuting to the gym and got lost...

We've got a real beefcake in the local peloton. Surprisingly, he's an incredibly strong rider. He's literally like a huge diesel freight train.
I'll see if I can find some pics.

How is it that these supposedly starving college guys all have nicer wheels than I do?

You know, the older I get the more pissed I get about these punks with their crazy hair. Always brushing it away from their eyes and what not. This coming from a psycho, speed freak who use to bleach and die his hair and hangout with raver acid heads. My how things change.

Yeah, all in fun. I'm actually very lucky, Cal Grant has got me pretty much covered for my whole college education (tuition fees). I've got one year left at Cal and I've never had to pay for anything more than books. Good PT/FT job and salary waiting for me when I graduate. I've got it pretty easy, I get to spend whatever is leftover from rent, food, and savings on bikes, reg fees, and gas.Back on topic...
EDIT: Come to think of it, living in San Francisco my rent is pretty close the average mortgage payment in the US. Go figure, no interest though.
