Relax. He's harmless. Be like the rock on the seashore: the
wave crashes against it and over it, but in the morning, the
rock is still there.

i prefer to think in geologic times. and while water may
appear immutable it's at least undergoing a lot of phase
changes in the time it takes to grind that poor rock to an
ineffectual wimpering beaten fred, err, sand.

If we all had geologic time to spend on the beach, sure.

No, not really. I'm not a racer, never will be. Asthma will
always be my limiting factor. I save my imagination for
other things.

I saw a TT bike with eccentric cran karms and some sort of
DurAce chainring today. The cranks were offset to "eliminate
the dead spot" in the pedalling arc, and the chainring was
ultra light and aero. Meanwhile, on the back of the bike,
there hung pounds of derailleur and cassette. Ha! Put some
Syntace Profiles on my Bianchi, and Mr. Fred gets a whippin'
on his no-dead-spot behind.

Anyway, I am glad to see you posting again, because I have
a question:

What's this season's eyewear?

You're out of line there, the race is known as La Primavera
to us, show some respect.

But, as a Fred myself, it makes me proud to know that
"Fabrizio" is Italian for "Fred"

I get a real kick out of the look on their faces when I go
by. I have to look real quick in my helmet-mounted mirror to
see that, but it's worth it. If I could, I'd get my digital
camera out of my handlebar bag and snap a picture of them as
I pull away, but I don't want to appear too cocky.

Sorry Zipp, those guys you see aren't top level cyclists
like me, they are poseurs. Get yourself out of the
subdivision lanes \ park paths and out to the tough training
routes, then you will see a big difference in type of rider.

Here's how it works, everyday I head out for my pre planed
training session. As I warm-up by leaving town on the flat
highway with the wide paved shoulder I see lots of amateur
riders giving the euro pro look a try but messing it up
nonetheless.

Once I turn off the level easy highway and head into the
tough hilly terrain I stop seeing those lamers on their
aerobars, the never do wells who own the nice bikes but only
get out ten hours a week and never get really bike fit, and
especially out on my training routes I NEVER see you
recreational types.

Still too early into the season yet.

Don't make a move until we see what Danilo Di Luca and
George Hincapie have for Paris-Roubaix, and what the
guys over on team De Nardi have for the Amstel Gold race
on April 18.

I was checking out the M Frame Vented Hybrid S with the
Plasma Fire Iridiums last week.

Flabby Blabby,

What do you mean "everyday" you head out? Just how many
days were you incarcerated for lewd conduct exposing your
genitals to little children? I'm sure you didn't ride
then. Been out at the ReMax strip mall looking and playing
with "Willie?"

Quit dreaming and get some real psychiatric care.

Your Buddy

Fair enough. I haven't even got a decent tan on the ol'
pistons yet.

Is it OK to wear last year's specs in the meantime? What
about taking the risk and getting something you see the Pros
wearing now?

Sweet! I think I prefer the Dark Carbide Black Iridium,
though. Why is Oakely selling used shades on their site? Two
twenty five isn't a bad price, I guess, but for used?

Just because he dropped you at the start line and you
haven't seen him because you aren't even at the back of the
A group he rides in doesn't mean he doesn't exist.
