  1. Hey,

    If you don't have a guy to make it 6 hours, isn't making
    the early break the only way to get on live TV???

    All their stupid attacks on the lead in to the Manayunk
    Wall 6 miles into the race. The split always and did today
    goes over the top, where 3 Sharper Images were looking not
    so Sharp dropped of the back. 10k into a 260k event!!!

    So that's why the prices at Sharper Image are crazy
    high. $110 for an electric shaver that I can get at
    Target for $40.

    Target also gets return from their Indy sponsorship.
    Sharper looked stupid today. 500,000 Philadelphian's saw
    it happen.

    Thanks, Ronde Champ

    Man, why are you such a hater?

  3. actually we had a guy finish in the front group,
    Steven Cate.

    We also had two guys in the early move that went the first
    time up the wall. One guy who has been sick couldn't hold
    on. Larry Perera stayed in the break till they were caught
    by the field.

    We were attacking because the cameras were rolling.

    None of our guys were dropped in the first 10k, they may
    have been at the back, but that is because they were
    positioning their teammates at the front for 3 miles before
    the wall. Ever ride 3 miles in the wind at 32mph+ and then
    have to do the wall?

    All but 1 guy made it 100 miles today, one got caught behind
    a crash, and the others all made it to 100-147 miles.

    We had 3 guys finish.

    So to call us stupid is completely wrong, we were racing our
    bikes. We tried to start a small early break but it didn't
    work, but we did put a guy in the early split.

    Every team has to start somewhere, remember Webcor last
    season, or Jittery Joes two years ago?

    Thank you and have a nice day, jason

  4. Heath Net Last year.....

    Nice job Dad.........

    Considering the source of the only badmouthing, and how far
    off he was, as usual I'd think that you'd be glad he wasn't
    on your side. He predicted Tim Johnson was done after the
    first few minutes too. Good ride, pass on the pat on the
    back to the rest of the team. Bill C

    Ignore him. When Ronde Champ at least makes it to a start

    And nothing like an idiot badmouthing a sponsors decision to
    sponsor a team when we have such a rich pool of sponsors
    here in the USA to choose from, what a nipplehead.

    Thanks, that was a good thread and it did remind me of that
    day you "got something" in your eye on the podium at
    nationals. Although reminiscing about the good old days of
    RBR is way worse than the good old days of racing.

    Jason Waddell is a sprinter for Shroeder's Iron team. He
    knows what he's talking about and is living the $20,000
    dream while working his butt off between rides.

    I think Dave Casey got that, but what he didn't get is that
    nobody thinks much of the guys who ignorantly criticize race
    tactics from the outside.

    Oh, I understood both of those points. I knew that Jason was
    a race participant and that Run Chump did not witness
    anything he commented on from the seat of bike, but rather
    sitting on his fat ass on the sidelines. I was commenting
    how it was quite funny that someone that was actually in the
    race, Jason, was here to point out to RC, and everyone else
    for that matter, that RC was full of [censored].

    No ... Jason Waddell is a sprinter for the Sharper Image-
    Mathis Brothers Furniture Professional Cycling Team.

    cycling.mathisbrothers.comwrap.php

    Looking at JW's picture on the site above makes me think
    that Floyd Landis has got some competition as NASCAR driver
    lookalike ...

    Still gotta give props to the man for living the dream.

    On the other hand, the Schroeder Iron Pro Cycling Team
    doesn't exist anymore ...

    I shouldn't reply but here it is. Sharper Image accomplished
    it's goals and then some. Mike House and Nick Keirnan did
    spend some time in front of the cameras. 21 neo-pro House
    was in for almost 70 miles. That was his job. Larry Perara
    was with the group off the front until it was swallowed up
    by the peloton. Since his name was not mentioned on
    cyclingnews live you wouldn't know that unless you were
    there. (Read his diary to see what happened.)Mike Lange,
    also only 21 was with that group part of the time. He was in
    total awe of riding with the likes of Bobby Julich. Matt,
    Jason, Aaron and Adam were in for most of the race grabbing
    wheels for teammates. Steve Cate with the first group. Dave
    Wenger finished with the 2nd group. Mike Lange finished
    being pulled in the small laps at the end. The only thing
    they did not accomplish was having someone in the top 20,
    but looking at the results, we need to go the the 4th rider
    to crown a USPRO It was a great day, too bad you didn't have
    fun. Marilyn Matt, Jaso

    How come you talking [censored]? Are the loser finishing 9 minutes
    back or the loser who DNF'D? I bet you sat in the race, did
    nothing and got dropped. NICE! Your so cool and so pro. 9
    minutes back or was that the DNF? Come on tell us your story
    fast guy. Tell us how you burned it up the hill, and gave
    George H "the look". Which ever Mcwank you are, your not
    nearly as fast as Jason. YOU SUCK.
