a little later, after I switched the group out for dura ace, I adopted the big ring school of thinking. That is, one pulled the left lever back in March and didn't push it forward until October. If you ever saw me on the little ring back then, that meant that I'd been dropped and was just pedaling home. Which, when I think about it, happened quite a lot.

My favorite comeback when talking smack at the starting line: "...I've been dropped by better girls than you..."
