Oh man!! That is great. I was thinking about what I think about on my four hour ride today. Very interesting that this came up.

The last thing that goes through Davis Phinney's mind is the rear glass window of a support vehicle.

I'm sure you think about

how old am I now, hmm maybe if I can sign for 2 more years at least and don't blow it all this time, i'll be able to pay that stupid car off in full. But $hhiit, it's already mid summer and I have no results so far and whats his face won't let me know where he is riding next year, if he goes they won't need me either, whats his name is going really well and flying these days, I am going to have to train more, properly train, rain or shine and get some k's in the legs or I'm stuffed.

maybe I'll go true wheels at the local shop and go back to part time study?

or is that what keeps them up all night?

The same thing I've been thinking of since July 2007. The one thing that pushes me in whatever I do, be it cycling or anything else.

What a cool church. Man there are a lot of ugly people in this town. What a hole. It would suck to live here. 1k left in the neutral, better get to the front.
Nice.

What's even more interesting is seeing who totally missed the link in my original post.
