Clearly. Seeing that I'm the one riding with a bunch of wannabe's on an MUP the kit of a team that I don't belong to.

See! They just want people to think they're pros. What friggin' losers.

Heh, talk about poseurs, but not on the MUP. I think it was Psimet, but could be wrong, if it wasn't him, he was there when the story was told at Penny Road Pub last year after one of our rides. Him, or whoever it was, was riding west of Chicago on a lonely country road. He then went to close a nostril and blow. At that time someone came around and said, "Hold your snot" or something like that, and it ended up being Christian Vande Velde. Thus far, I think I have been the only poseur on our local trails :)

Well put.

I hope some of you guys at better at comprehending sarcasm in real life than you are on BF.

That quote is the epitome of irony.

I'm going to head out tomorrow and see if I can find some more of these "poseurs".

wow.

Haha why is it impossible for Rabobank to be riding on a MUP days before the Tour of California? Is there some UCI rule that Pro teams can't ride on MUPs? Sometimes the rampant cycling snobbery that takes over in here is kinda sad.

:(

I'm troll sprayed. I can't troll this thread anymore. That means that I must go back to writing my last paper before graduation.

NOOOOOOO!!!!

Photoshop fail on the troll spray pic. The wording doesn't wrap correctly around the shape of the can.

That comment deserves troll spray.

I love it. Is it really such a fine line between fred and the real deal that the racer-poseurs on this forum can't distinguish**********? :lol::lol::lol:

fail. This quite clearly is not about Fred. This is about a group posuer ride. Stick to the topic.

From the angle of the shot the I would guess the picture was set up.

Naah ----- he couldn't pick a winner so he is picking his nose. Lp

Yeah, probably someone in last year's Quick Step kit took the shot. I'm surprised the helmet mirror isn't in the frame.

I sorta doubt that these guys are the real thing, but it's not totally inconceivable that pros might want to ride on the Bikeway for an easy ride. It's often pretty much deserted mid-week. And, it's a nice way to get out of town and up into the hills.
