My Self Loathing Season Pass.

I just gave them the dough to partially sponsor the Global Locate race team for 2009. Our GM is busy hunting down new talent for the 2009 season, and it's comforting to know that I can't be traded.

Nobody would want me anyway.

PatenCad Was trying to recruit DrWJ today, but when when he saw the kind of ride the doc was sporting, he backed off and kept on going with his trackie friends. Something about not wanting to have a guy ruin the look of the pink and blue by riding something that looked like this:

I race bikes, have a huge ego, and occasionally do cocaine. I may as well be a pro...

And I could add to it!

Plus, who doesn't want a super dark, Dominican cyclist do-it-all on their team?

It's not up to me. But if it were, you'd be the GL attorney tomorrow. But to have any shot at all you would have to show up in Central or Prospect Park for at least one race, all your empty threats to do so having gone unfulfilled as you trot around the globe.

Don't worry. There's a pony in Gsteinb's future. Rest assured.

Fatal: you are slow, fat, silly looking, and a sub-Fred. Which means you could certainly be on any Pcad Racing Squad, but this isn't my team. I'll be on the Nyack Ride tomorrow. If you're there, and if we're both still with the ride by the time it gets to Pearl River, we can discuss this further. I felt good today, but that was today.

Dr. W: You are too young for us. But you're arguably faster than anybody in the Master's 35+ field at any distance over 2000 meters or so. So you could certainly drive all the winning breakaways.

Juan's son hung in the Prospect Park Cat V race this past August which averaged like 25 mph. The kid is only 14 or 15 years old. How fast is that?

We're a Master's 35+ team anyway.

Don't ever race at prospect with pcad around, chances are high he has rigged the course. That maybe the reason he has an occasional "win."
