New Italian pro cyclist name....
So I'm down in the cycling room today sweating through 13 miles while watching a tape (yes, tape) of one of the climbing stages of the 2005 TdF.
It dawns on me....
In my fantasy world of being a pro bike racer in Europe, I need a solid name. They all have cool sounding names. Since I'm already pretty much there already with my Italian heritage, I didn't have far to go.
Now, when in my fantasy role of pro racer, Phil Cianciola changes to the actual Italian pronounciation of the name to "Phillipo Chincolo" (phil-EE-po chin-CHO-low)
I can almost hear Liggett with the call...
"Look at this....it appears Phillipo Chincolo, the talented Italian, has found a spot of bother on this climb, now being spit off the back in around-about a bike length a second."

what's wrong with Chi-an-CHI-oL-a?
btw - you really have to stop thinking in miles, and start thinking in time. especially when you're on rollers/trainer.

This is my first week back, so nothing too major in terms of effort after the holidays.
It's tough for me to break an hour on the darned thing, but I know that's where I need to be as spring gets closer.

Your body doesn't know how far you're going....only how long and how hard.

How to choose your porn star name:
Take the name of your first pet as your first name, the street name of the first house you lived in as your last name.

You need a better first name too, something that sounds as tough as you are, like Guido.
