his slightly afraid teammate attacked him just after he set some good tempo. for 20 whole seconds gain on his chief rivals (again his teammates)
Kloden lost a min and alot of gc money and a fourth threat in the big hills to come.

A few things from the bike shop.
——————————————————————————–
Date: 2009-05-27, 4:05PM PDT
Whoo-hoo Seattle, the sun is out! Let’s discuss a few things before you fumble with swapping the unused ski rack for the unused bike rack on the Subaru.
So yes, you’ve noticed the sun is out, and hey!- maybe it would be cool to to some bike riding. Let’s keep in mind that the sun came out of all 600,000 of us, so for the most part, you’re not the only one who noticed. Please remember that when you walk into my shop on a bright, sunny Saturday morning. It will save you from looking like a complete twat that huffs “Why are there so many people here?”
Are we all on the same page now about it being sunny outside? Have we all figured out that we’re not the only clever people that feel sunny days are good for bike riding? Great. I want to kiss all of you on your forehead for sharing this moment with me. Put your vitamin D starved fingers in mine, and we’ll move on together to some pointers that will make life easier.
SOME POINTERS FOR THE PHONE:
– I don’t know what size of bike you need. The only thing that I can tell over the phone is that you sound fat. I don’t care how tall you are. I don’t care how long your inseam is. Don’t complain to me that you don’t want to come ALL THE WAY down to the bike shop to get fitted for a bike. I have two hundred bikes in my inventory. I will find one that fits you. Whether you come from the north or the south, my shop is downhill. Pretend you’re going to smell a fart, ball up, and roll your fat ass down here.
– Don’t get high and call me. Write it down, call me later. When I have four phone lines ringing, and a herdlet
of people waiting for help, I can’t deal with you sitting there “uuuuhhh”-ing and “uuummm”-ing while your brain tries to put together some cheeto-xbox-fixie conundrum. We didn’t get disconnected, I left you on hold to figure your shit out.
-I really do need to see your bike to know what is wrong with it. You’ve already figured out that when you car makes a noise, the mechanic needs to see it. When your TV goes blank, a technician needs to see it. I can tell you, if there is one thing I’ve learned from you fucking squirrels, it’s that “doesn’t shift right” means your bike could need a slight cable adjustment, or you might just need to stop backing into it with the Subaru. Bring it in, I’ll let you know for sure.
– No, I don’t know how much a good bike costs. For some, spending $500 dollars is a kingly sum. For others, $500 won’t buy you one good wheel. You really need to have an idea of what you want, because every one of you raccoons “doesn’t want to spend too much”.
FOR YOU INVENTIVE TYPES AND DO-IT-YOURSELFERS:
– Just because you think is should exist, doesn’t mean that it does. I know that to you, a 14 inch quill stem makes perfect sense, but what makes more sense is buying a bike that fits you, not trying to make your mountain bike that was too small for you to begin with into a comfort bike.
– If some twat on some message board somewhere says that you can use the lockring from your bottom bracket as a lockring for a fixie conversion doesn’t mean that A: you can, or B: you should. Please listen to me on this stuff, I really do have your best interests at heart.
– I love that you have the enthusiasm to build yourself a recumbent in the off season. That does not mean however, that I share your enthusiasm; ergo I won’t do the “final tweaks” for you. You figure out why that Sram shifter and that Shimano rear derailleur don’t work together. While we’re at it, you recumbent people scare me a little. Don’t bring that lumbering fucking thing anywhere near me.
A DEDICATION TO ALL THE HIPSTER DUCHEBAGS:
-If you shitheads had any money, you wouldn’t NEED a vintage Poo-zhow to get laid. Go have an ironic mustache growing contest in front of American Apparel, so that I can continue selling $300 bikes to fatties, which is what keeps the lights on.
– Being made in the 80’s may make something cool, but that doesn’t automatically make something good. The reason that no one has ridden that “vintage” Murray is because it’s shit. It was shit in the 80’s, a trend it carried proudly through the 90’s, and rallied with into the ’00’s. What I mean to say is, no, I can’t make it work better. It’s still shit, even with more air in the tires.
SO YOU’RE GONNA BUY A BIKE:
Good for you! Biking is awesome. It’s easy, it’s fun, it’s good for you. I want you to bike, I really do. To that end, I am here to help you.
-Your co-worker that’s “really into biking” knows fuck all. Stop asking for his advice. He could care less about you having the right bike. He wants to validate his bike purchase(s) through you. He also wants to sleep with you, and wear matching bike shorts with you.
– You’re not a triathlete. You’re not. If you were, you wouldn’t be here, and we both know it.
– You’re not a racer. If you were, I’d know you already, and you wouldn’t be here, and we both know it.
– So you want a bike that you can ride to work, goes really fast, is good for that triathlon you’re doing this summer (snicker), is good on trails and mud, and costs less than $300. Yeah. Listen, I want a car that can go 200 miles an hour, tow a boat, has room for five adults, is easy to parallel park but can carry plywood, gets 60mpg, and only costs $3,000. I also want a unicorn to blow me. What are we even talking about here? Oh yeah. Listen, bikes can be fast, light, cheap and comfortable. Pick two, and we’re all good.
ABOUT YOUR KIDS:
Your kids are amazing. Sure are. No one else has kids as smart, able, funny or as good looking as you. Nope. Never see THAT around here.
– I have no idea how long you kid will be able to use this bike. As it seems to me, your precious is a little retarded, and can’t even use the damn thing now. More likely, your budding genius is going to leave the bike in the driveway where you will Subaru the bike to death LONG before the nose picker outgrows the bike.
– Stop being so jumpy. I am not a molester. You people REALLY watch too much TV. When I hold the back of the bike while your kid is on it, it’s not because I get a thrill from *almost* having my hand on kid butt, it’s because kids are unpredictable, and generally take off whenever possible, usually not in the direction you think they might go. Listen, if I were going to do anything bad to your kids, I’d feed them to sharks, because sharks are FUCKING AWESOME.
I hope this helps, and have fun this summer riding your kick-ass bike!

that bike shop thing is fantastic
Pablo Picasso was never called sketchy rider.
Don’t care really who you call out. Just pointing out that you’re a dick.
albeit a faux paux on this site to post such a long post I thought that was worthy….from a seattle bike shop, posted on craigslist. Yeah and I want a BJ from a Unicorn.
I don’t remember U.V. being such a crash fest. What happened?
but I still want the story from the hand photo – was there a huge rumble post CRCA race and someones face met that hand? Did the fight have awesome class and race undertones that we can dissect since its a TdF rest day? Common!
It belongs to David Anthony (NYVC). You should have seen the other guy’s face…
This guy?
http://tinyurl.com/kr6qq8
both of those guys have the same r crumb looking bear on their necks
are racing for Setanta now….
uh, it’s the same guy.
In his head do you think he thinks he’s the same guy?
anyone know which squirrel caused that crash? didn’t see any rabobank out there…
It’s difficult to imagine what that guy thinks.
that guy thinks he’d like to nibble on that hand for lunch and have you a**clowns for dinner.
he’s wondering if he should’ve gotten a bit more color
Some of the NYVelocity riders in the cat4/5 field were all over the road, and making sketchy moves. either diving across from the gutter to the yellow line while decending in the pack, to moving up into spaces that didn’t exist. Not cool guys.
were they sketching while moving, and if so, were they using chalk or pencil?
Some of the NYVelocity riders? OK, that narrows the field down to like half. Can you be more specific in your stupid post race day useless call-out? Great, thaaaaaanks.
That one dude (pic in link) looks seriously not nice. Im not sure what job he would be looking at upon release from incarceration. Maybe he can fix bikes with our own beloved Tatoo?
I seriously would crap myself if I even ran into that guy wearing a ballet outfit and mid-pirouette. He might give me nightmares tonight in fact.
Calling out other riders in your field anonymously is pretty cool, though.
Were they sketching with the Lance chalkbot? That just seems dangerous and ill advised.
Right I forgot, never criticize NYVelocity riders on the site. Let me rephrase, some riders in a vaguely gay kit were riding in an unsafe manner in the 4/5 field at unionvale. Not sporting good sirs!
in a 4/5 field? What…
Vaguely gay? Sir, now you are clearly insulting the entire readership of NYVelocity.
vaguely gay is an insult? nice…
don’t call me shirley.
Uh, that’s an obvious troll, silly.
Anyone see results from Iron Hill?
this morning in an ice bath in a Ft. Lee motel missing a kidney. Damn you, Jed. Damn you, CJ!
When’s the next get together?
There were plenty of squirrels in the 4/5 all ages field at UV. It’s not fair to single out the Velocity guys. Also, it’s not easy to move up in UV because the roads aren’t that wide. Unless you cross the yellow line, which plenty of guys were doing, though the Velocity guys didn’t seem to pull that one.
They had 25% of the field, but only one finisher in the top 15. Not a good sign.
So 1:06, if you are such an accomplished rider, what are you still doing in the 4/5 field?
Excuse me ma’am. I speak Jive.
why do people get so pissed off about calling out riders for bad bike handling? that’s what you’re supposed to do, ideally within the race right after somebody has made a bad move. it helps make that rider and the rest of the pack safer.
i’ve been corrected and try not to make the same mistake twice. in fact, i appreciate the advice. the pack is supposed to police itself, it’s in everyone’s best interest.
it’s on you if you want to stay mute and wager your own skin hoping that another rider figures things out on their own.
pouncy
instead of riding like a squirrel, what if someone rode like a beaver?
cat 4 squids are out of control, learn some bike handling skills cat 4 squids!

AWESOME. THANKS.
the UV is lame guy rides for CRCA
Champion Systems is the best local team. They have the best
director, riders, and staff. They win the best races like the Governor’s Island Gran Prix. Someday, Ray Alba will be directing a team in the best race in France.
funny
Great riding by Johan Burrowes for fighting with the riders in the break
New York’s CS is a great team. They are proving that Empire has too many chefs.
yes, and champion is killing empire, bike reg, ccb, and basically every other amateur team in the country in the NRC standings, too. it’s mostly because they have the optimal number of chefs.
Empire has too many chefs and no wait staff or dishwashers help help the chefs expedite their meals. The chefs better go hire some help.
Cat 4 squids need a serious slap down, they are too excitable

Cat 4 squids guy is funny. Funniest NYVC addition since Baby Cobra.
Does that make Mike Sherry the Maitre d’? Do I have to slip him the $20 to get a better table (i.e. allowed to ride in the break)?
I would love to know who thinks this is a big big big hard very hard race with 10,0000 climbing…please tell us dude?????
Aahhhhhh……….I think that might have been sacrasm. When Schmalz gets back he will clarify it for you. He’s an expert on foreshadowing and all things “writer like”. Until then, get a f***ing clue!!!!!!!!!!!

that sh!t is not cool
Racing In Europe — Cat 2 going over to Italy for 2 weeks…is there any chance I can get in a race or do I have to jump through a bunch of USA Cycling hoops…anyone know?
2 weeks isn’t enough time, even if you had a season you’d still get your ass handed to you. Plus to enter elite races you need to ride with an Italian team (or invited foreign team) unlike Belgium were you can race independently. In terms of USAC hoops you just need to get them to set you up with a UCI license and then you can find a team to ride with.
Better bet is to look for Granfondos to ride. They are the Italian equivalent of a cycle sportive ride and they are wicked fast, wicked competitive and wicked hard. Expect to see many ex-pros and various doped Belrussians riding for ‘prize’ money. Total frickin’ madness with the good ones having thousands of riders on the road for a minimum of 100 miles. Be prepared to be badly beaten on by Dutch cycle tourists who stop for smoke breaks at the top of any major climb.
I heard they are opening a restaurant called: The Two Mikes.
Something about karaoke and roller racing.
Ray Alba rules!
Hey but other than that, have a great time!
What an idothole.
Contact Zoltan, he might know
1:51–hilarious. do you speak from experience or 2nd hand stories?
Ray Alba should run this city, not Bloomberg.
First hand based on not being able race elite in Italy without team affiliation a few years ago, would assume that the rules are the same a few years on.
So my comment on getting ass-handed would be second hand from a ex-teammates over the years who have ridden for Italian elite teams. From what they told me and when they compared to other European countries we raced elite together in, the racing is hard, as aggressive as Belgium but with typically shorter distances than France and smaller field sizes than either of the two afore-mentioned countries. So my comment wasn’t intended to be sarcastic and I certainly wasn’t passing judgement on another rider’s ability. In facts props for giving it a go but be prepared to struggle unless you’re gifted beyond mere mortals. It is hard to imagine 2 weeks being enough time to acclimatize to racing in a different country where the difficulty of the racing is guaranteed to be at a higher level than what you get stateside.
Granfondo comments are first hand. I’ve ridden a few and they are really nuts. Google a few and look at the names at the top of the results list, you’ll see plenty of ex-pros at the top. Obviously no doping controls at these so some of the names are disgraced heroes, some hasbeens, and some guys without contracts riding for the dough. That includes the travelling bands of crazed CIS riders who are truly riding for the money.
Anyway was just trying to be helpful. If you’ve got 2 weeks and want to race in Italy the path of least resistance is to go for some Granfondos in my opinion.
Good luck and have fun!
cool, thanks for the color. your descriptions make the typical fbf-SMASH-fest sound like childs play….
2:30–hilarious. just another joker whose only “racing” experience is limited to nyc races. do you ridicule from insecurity or just based on real racing that you’ve only read about online?

Thanks,

Thanks for the edit results link. Very useful. I had scored a “bunnyhopped a small shrub on lap 4 and flatted” and just changed that to a W.
stalin has to be one of the better names in the local peloton.
It’s surprising he couldn’t purge the two guys ahead of him
F the UCI license — It sounds like the GranFondo’s is the call. I have no aspirations of finishing anywhere but dead last. Literally going over with 3 kids, wife, and mother in law…and want to at least mix up riding alone everyday with something competitive – just so I can check it off the “bucket list”
They be competitive, real competitive. Depending on when at where you are you might want to look at doing – http://www.eroica.it/index_en.php. I’ve not done it but it looks epic!
Lived in Rome for 3 years and have done my share of Granfondo. You don’t need the UCI license, but you will want to bring along sort of ID with a photo with your USCF license or tape a photo on the back of your USCF license.
Winning Time handles a lot of the Gran Fondo so that’s a good site to check out: http://www.winningtime.it/WTGare/template_view/HomeGare.aspx. You’ll want Ciclismo and Calendario if you can’t read Italian.
Ciclismo has a calendar as well. Click on the region where you are going and you’ll get some information on what races are on: http://www.ciclismo.it/edisport/ciclismo/Notizie.nsf/AllDocID/I6DAA3BB07BEFACF1C125754E0049DAE3?OpenDocument
They typically take place on Sundays.
And you will get your a$$ handed to you pretty much no matter who you are.
Thanks that information is really helpfull – the calendars and such — appreciate it.
Completely ready to get my ass handed to me – BB
This one is perfect – date I am there, and close by to where I am staying…only issue is it is vintage bikes, and bringing a 2nd bike is a pain.
Anybody do this race ever? Reviews?
Too bad on the Eroica. Last year it was open to both historic bikes and modern machines. They’ve got a new one that ran on June 28th, Chianti Classico, open to modern bikes. Bummer because the riding looks unfriggin’ believable. You could just download the map and hammer it out yourself.
Outside Mag had a piece on it recently – sounds like vintage is optional
http://outside.away.com/outside/culture/200906/italy-eroica-cycling-1.html
They won again. Like Mark Cavendish or Tori Spelling(?)
Best locale team in the world.
A guy I know used to go over to Italy every year and enter a few races thru this outfit.
http://www.veloveneto.com/racing.html
I seem to recall him saying that in order to race you had to be a member of a “club” that had gone thru all the red tape involved with licensing and affiliations etc. This group maintained such a club for the benefit of their clients who wished to race while on vacation. If nothing else, I’m sure they’d be able to give you accurate and up-to-date information on what is required to enter a race in Italy as a tourist.
Thanks for that site…I am going to inquire.
And I think I might just have to poach the Eroica ride on my modern bike….and I am hoping there are some festivities in Gaiole post ride. I have two missions for this trip…ride a lot, and drink a lot of red wine.
