Link around...

ThruYou... nicomachus had it up on the 5th, results boy has a link somewhere and I finally clicked on it and damn. That's some goood shit. Almost as good as the ending to Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Great bit on another aspect of "club riding" to be found. The whole fear of getting dropped. Lots of little gems in there like this: "No warning signs like donkey wheezing, a crumpled back, sagging head, dilated pupils, numb left arm, chest grabbing." everyone's seen that before, usually just before the rider disappears off the back.

My best hour recorded on the Powertap wasn't in a race. It was on a group ride - on roads I was somewhat familiar with but the people I wanted to ride with were dropping me. Somehow, somewhere, I managed to pull the power out of my legs to hang in close enough contact to eventually ride back onto their wheels. How? Fear of getting dropped. I know the fear, but don't always harness it when I need it. I need to HTFU. Seriously.

Lucky Bastards Don't ya think Cort?

Then of course the Michigan Scene - has one of the best comedian's skit on the Modern Man.
