Welcome to the Tue, 07/28/2009 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

the watts per kilo, the skinsuits, the fancy bikes, the top-notch medical programs, and so on: all part of the picture, yes, and certainly necessary prerequisites for even lower-level success. however, the athletes who reach heights above and beyond those achieved by the merely “talented” and “dedicated” (and medicated) are those with the vision and foresight to craft their own personally-branded baseball hats.
