The apprenticeship level - the dick level - is reserved for guys in full kits riding Cervelos in charity rides. That's just one step away from passing Checkpoint One to Fredness. After that it's all downhill. But if they're also riding aero bars they automatically get a pass to Checkpoint 2.
The Doc doesn't yet qualify because he was not on the charity ride. He was just staying at same hotel. But it's coming soon for him and all of us. It's inevitable.
So, Chipcom, how long have you been stuck in the Dick phase
I have been a Dick, Fred and Road Nazi many times, as that is the great circle of cycling. but stroking this Dick with lameness isn't going to get you out of the Dick phase any faster...you must use some creativity and originality in your stroking (a little vaseline might not hurt either). Control your Cervelo envy, curbhopper, it is affecting your stroke and making me less than excited.
