Welcome to the Tue, 08/12/2011 – 06:00 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.
after going to FBF last night. I like the course and WS United has done a great job. Very poor attendance on a beautiful night. 2 weekly series too much for nyc? Racing having a down year?
the huge response to this comment, and the number of “events” listed on the frontpage.
Clinger to Mengoni
face tattoos to foundation
I do both races each week, the shorter course is different but not sure if better, some bad patches of pavement there and smaller loops make me feel too much like a hamster, if it was same as Tue it might get better turnout.
Jimbo clarifies regarding the potential tensions between Cadel, Thor, and Phillipe.
“No one has more experience with managing and obscuring conflicts of interest than I.”
Im boycoting Charlie I Races due to prices!
Choose your poison, sunday is cheaper by $1 if paying Charlie day of rather than on bikereg, plus weather is still uncertain…
Well I’m boycotting the cheap races and only participating in the finest of local competitive challenges whilst on the bicycle. Pardon me, but do you have any grey poupon?
No messing around…tells he like it is “Thor must work for me in the Tour”. Bravo….too many teams try to win the GC and have sprinters or guys going for stage wins.
What did Eddy do? What did Armstrong do?
However many times that Postal showed them how it is done, other teams kept on trying to do it all…and Lance won 7 straight.
LA was the best GC of his era…maybe any era…but for sure Jan Ullrich could’ve broke the streak somewhere in there if Telekom didn’t have guys like old whatshisnamedoper going for sprint wins.
Thor: See here Shrimpy, I am a World Champion
Cadel: Me too.
Thor: So we’re even there!
Cadel: I’m World Champion in TWO sports.
Thor: Well, I’ve worn Green in the Tour.
Cadel: I’ve worn a Yellow jersey. And took it home this year.
Thor: I have a fatter contract.
Cadel: Want to bet on that Norseman?
Thor: Schmaltz idolizes me.
Cadel: Chicken fat is your fan club? Well, I have a big following in the Vegemite community!
