And it was on a flat crit course in 2008 because breaking my leg wasnt worth winning a crit. im a mountain goat climber , i hate flat land. I'm heading to the rockey mountains tomorrow to train and hopefully get dropped. blowing past extremly fit well train altheles is fun but i miss getting dropped. 2007 was the last time i was put into difficulties on a climb by another rider.
this summer i went on a orginized ride. thought i could hammer out 200 K with some strong flat landers and wait a little on the climbs but even the fit looking guys were struggling riding at my 1/2 speed. 100 K in i caught 2 guys at the bottem of a good climb . the one guy was much skinnier then me and motivated to dropped me ( he had no idea who i am ) on the hill. he said "HERE WE GO!"
he took off hard dancing like lance up the hill. i gave him a few feet and laughed as he turned himself inside out trying to rid me. i stayed in the saddle whole way like Ullrich. as the summit appoarched i accelerated as hard as i could past him! i never seen him again i looked back on the descent and he was gone.
and as always some pics to back up my story

Come on now, behind is the proper way to do it. It looks cleaner. Plus, if you have a cat, you don't come home to find the entire roll unrolled all over your floor.

The toilet paper debate was solved a long time ago. Get with the times.

Portland Fred
The other thing I found interesting about his story was
In other words, it took the entire climb to get past some Fred on a recreational ride. Good climbs separate people pretty fast and descents are hard to make much distance on. By his own description, it sounds like he was carrying the Lanterne Rouge and picked off a guy who stopped to take a leak at the top of a hill.

Awww.
The OP has been banned
Just because he wanted to pretend to be RyanF.
Looks like I'll actually have to go out and ride the bike this weekend. Not much else to do.
