Trained? Trained! Trained@##$ I inherited my girlfriends 17 yr old cat, Big Kitty, ( original name lost during a 20# stage years ago) this animal is training me!! Don’t get me wrong, she’s a nice cat, but if her water is not cold enough she will wake me up and let me know. She does not bury things in the litter box, but will not use said box again unless all previous deposits are covered or removed. Because I some times get up at 5:30am to swim she has decided that 5:30 is a good time to wake the man…regardless of any carbo loading (beer consumption) the night before. Said girlfriend is awol for 3 years working on Phd in Aussie land, i get cat. And you think you got screwed on the divorce.
He probably has several bikes…one for each opinion he has.
And probablyl several sets of wheels…so when he thinks that 909’s are the best when speaking to his rich friends, he can use them…then he can bust out the CH Aero cover and speak to the rest of us when he’s riding that…then he can use Tubulars for races where Tom is at…and clinchers at the races that the rest of us are at.
And then when cycling becomes not cool - he can deny he ever owned a bike and then go back to roller skating and short denim cut-offs.
Bush rides a Project One Trek - painted with the ‘Patriot’ color scheme…with a Hed3 front and a Renn disc in the back.
That would be true, if the Pan-Mass Challenge was a race. But it isn’t. It’s a two-day fund-raising ride for cancer, and most of the people who do it do it for the cause, for the camaraderie, or just for the fun of it.
I’m not even sure why they mentioned a finishing place.
I think Bill Clinton had a Merlin and Lance gave George Bush a Trek, which undoubtedly didn’t get ridden but is possibly somewhere in the National Archives.
Hey dan… do you know a guy named Marcele Valiere who use to work a merlin from 1995 - 1998? He worked on the production end of things but not sure what his exact job it was…
On of the funny stories he told me is that once a ti tube is messed up in someway it is unsalvagable and is garbage… well apparently the employees like to take the scrap and make things out of them…
Wel Marcelle made a bike where the top tube and down tube were connected to the seat tube with hinges so that the front end could move entirely independent of the back end… For some reason it was only a good idea to ride this bike while drunk…
“do you know a guy named Marcele Valiere who use to work a merlin from 1995 - 1998?”
doesn’t ring a bell. saucony bought merlin in '98, like february 25th i think, and perhaps we overlapped a bit, but i don’t remember. yeah, the merlin guys were ingenious about stuff like that.
I hope Kerry is one of those guys whom does not ride with a helmet. If he did crash and hit his head, maybe then he would be able to decide what side he stands for, since you can’t get a straight answer out of him now.
For what it’s worth, Iraq CPA Adminstrator Jerry Bremer (now 62) can kick Kerry’s ass as a triathlete.
He’s a superb cyclist, and raced a legit, official 3:00:28 in the Boston Marathon at the age of 52 (!). And that time includes 3+ minutes stalled at the start in Hopkinton, waiting for room to start after the gun…
" Greg Lemond was riding and he said it was the worst conditions he’d seen for bicycling. But, you know, it was a challenge. I liked that. There was no way I was going to quit." - Sen. John Kerry
Does anyone else believe that a charity ride from Boston to Sen. Kennedy’s Hyannasport estate was the worst biking conditions that LeMond has ever seen? Hmmmm?
It was the second worst cycling conditions for Kerry, He would say the first was when he cycled the entire HO CHI MIEN trail in 36 hrs.I dont know if you have heard but He was a war hero you know!
John Kerry is, in fact, a highly decorated combat veteran, and much like Republican John MaCain, I find it somewhat offensive when people try to impugn his character on these particular matters. There are many, many legitimate political and personal topics on which one can take issue with the Senator, but this isn’t one of them, and he is very much deserving of the same respect we should accord any one else who served in that awful conflict.
The Viet Nam Veterans Against the War of which Mr. Kerry was a member also fought for the right to protest that war. If you remember right, it wasn’t a particularly popular endeavor with the American public.
