Besides, Canada is a vast cold wasteland now, but given the nice

the hell Candians are doing on "our" land before "we" get there.
Weird.

Dumbass,

Have you looked at the value of the Canadian dollar
versus our scrip currency lately? They're more likely
to successfully buy us than we are to successfully
invade them. While global warming would make a US
assault on Canada less likely to get bogged down in
winter like the Germans in Russia, it also makes
Michigan tropical beachfront property attractive to
Torontan real estate speculators looking to build
resort condos. I only wish I was young enough to
look forward to a future as a cabana boy for our
new Canadian overlords.

Hey Steve
The reason I picked those groups in particular is from hearing
stories from people I know racing in both Germany and Italy who have
said that the doping in high level amateur stuff is right in the open
and subject for jokes. They have also said that especially with
serious Jr prospects being groomed by some of the feeder clubs and
development teams hat they experiment to find the most effective
doping programs for the individuals for most of the year since testing
is only done at a few national level events. The rest of the year is a
laboratory.

Good report. I agree that it can be hard to pace yourself on early climbs (or
parts of climbs) if there are a bunch of other people going varying speeds. It can be
easy to go too fast too soon and you pay for that later.

Thats where a power meter comes in handy. Before I got a power meter
I always used to go to hard at the start when doing hill intervals
because I'd be chasing a target heart rate.

Please start some threads. I'd love to have more in depth information
than I'm picking out of Radsport news than we are getting on the
actual situation with racing, and the political mindset in Germany
right now. How about filling us in since you're there in the middle of
it? How's it effecting the local teams, clubs, and races? What are
they doing towards monitoring amateurs and u-23 and below? etc...

I can't comment on a lot of these issues because I'm not in the scene,
I'm simply too busy with real work to get involved. Also, I don't read
the language because the sound and structure of german offends my
aesthetic sensibilities and my brain actively rejects it, so I don't
know what the media are reporting.

I don't even know where to start on this bit of arrogant, elitist,
superior BS.
Sounds like the grunts I was there with who routinely went with "Yah!
we kicked your ass twice and I'll do it again!" whenever confronted
with actual German culture. God forbid they'd actually attempt to
learn and interact with an inferior culture.

I suspect the authorities are doing

nothing below the pro ranks, like pretty much everywhere. I am very
[censored] about how the hypocritical, coke-addicted german politicians
are acting all morally superior regarding doping in cycling while paying
no attention whatsoever to the Bundesliga, which I'm sure is 10 times
dirtier if they would only test for something.

Sounds like politicians everywhere, including the US and Canada.

But I try not to fixate

on things which anger me but I have no control over. Danilo Hondo,
(putatively) Jan Ullrich, 3 cases on T-Mobile this year: the germans
have no right to act they way they do, they are as dirty as anyone.-

They have every right to run their mouths, and the riders should have
the right to challenge them legally but don't. The system sucks.
Why the hell don't you just leave the country? They wont miss you,

I didn't call it inferior, those are your words. It's just different,
and not at all to my liking.

That's why I'm working so hard, the sooner I can leave the better. I
long for the days of a wide variety of fresh vegetables, restaurant food
with flavour and smiling shopkeepers, where customer service comes first
and I can buy things with a credit card if I so choose. This 1950s

Dumbass,

Have you looked at the value of the Canadian dollar
versus our scrip currency lately?

Have you ever wondered why? It probably isn't because Canadian trees
make better paper than US trees.

I guess all this inflation stuff and massive clusters of error leading
to boom-bust cycles can only be explained by animal spirits.

What better reason to invade them than because they won't take your

Different strokes for different folks I guess. We had no problems
finding fresh veggies, seafood, or other things. We usually shopped
every other day or so, and a lot from farmers markets to get it fresh.
Knew a bunch of good restaurants, most of which had good prices too.
Had great relations with almost all the local shops, if anything they
were a bit too friendly and quick to give us stuff to try free. About
the only place we had some real problems was in berchtesgaden and that
was more because they hated the tourists like us.
Our experience, and evaluation from watching others, was that in
Germany, Italy, France, Austria, and Belgium you got back what you put
in. A few people were impolite, and standoffish, but not many. Quite a
few had fun, at our expense, with us trying to go with the local flow
and when we laughed along they were great and treated us incredibly
well. Austria in particular was like that.
We'd go back in a heartbeat. It's a different lifestyle. Made more
for people, families, and enjoying life, not for power, money, and
being a type A.
