ok so next time we all get together, bring it!!!....i still have a couple of jerseys...but sadly they don't fit any longer...i think my ex-wife used to put something in the washer to make them smaller, but i was never able to prove anything

i've met more than one of these...usually when i'm out on my fixed conversion which is a set up a bit differently, more like the first fixed bikes i rode..'back in the day' which means 20years ago. one of my favorite conversations was with a local racer who was talking about his masters experince while we shared a beautiful sunset by the berkeley marina.....so i know they are out there...but in my riding through this plantar fasciitis, i have had to cut back my miles and change my routes so that i do not come into contact with the real roadies out there...but see these "hammerheads" by the 100's.....
