Welcome to the Tue, 07/29/2009 – 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.

Here is a summary:
Annecy TT: Conti has to hitch a ride with his bro cuz The Dick (TM) hoarded all the Ass-tana vehicles for his friends and family who came to see him on his yello bike end up in 16th place.
Ventoux: Conti has to hitch a ride with his bro and g.f. cuz the team had to rush down the mountain and could not wait for the podium presentations.
Up Ventoux: Gutierrez sees that Conti has no water left. He tries to hand Conti a bottle, only to have The Dick (TM) rush in between the Spaniards and intercept said bottle, drink from it, and then offer it to Conti, who refused to take a sip. Gutierrez says that he asked Lance to return the bottle.
The day of the split: Rojas, the Caisse ‘sprinter’ is right behind Conti and Conti’s r.h. and only assigned “teammate,” Paulinho. Rojas says that he thought Paulinho would not let a split open up in the line right after the turn, which is exactly what happened. Conti went on to lose over 40 seconds, which it is said now was the plan to settle the leadership in favor of The Dick (TM).
how early can you ride in central park without getting hassled by the popo?
Boonen said that he felt horrible at the way Ass-tana were treating Contador, which was obvious to other riders.
boonen is so 4 years ago.
I’ve been in the park as early as 5 a.m. for years and never been hassled by the local gendarmes (except once when a contingent at the 72nd St. entrance thought I was trying to jump the queue for Summerstage in full kit).
the team that shall not be named did an overnight camping trip/flashlight tag/century ride in the park once before work, back in ought-seven possibly. think they got out there at 2am or so (?) and maybe had some minor popo issues, but was easy enough to roll out of the park for a block and then hop back in. i may be making this up entirely, though; my grip on reality has gotten pretty tenuous.
[this site is shining! my captcha is ‘who rode a smart race.’ red rum! red rum!]
should not popo be capitalized, Po-Po?
Anyone hear Howard Stern rip on Central Park Cyclists yesterday? Pretty funny
what happened at FBF last night? Rain out again?
no rain – windy & v. hard
howard stern would get knocked over by the rushing wind of a single fat cyclist passing by. he’s a tall, skinny, ugly douchebag who’s prime–in more ways than one–passed long ago.
