Yes.

Cool, what was he like?

Val23708 05-25-10 09:47 PM

What the heck is he wearing?

Took me a few seconds to figure out... Needs the Oakleys...

rouleour 05-25-10 09:48 PM

dang! I always thought cav could'nt climb because he looked heavier than the rest of the peloton, but when compared to a normal real life body; man he's skinny!

no offense Dude! :lol:

sqharaway 05-25-10 10:36 PM

Awesome!

Is that cycling heaven? Look at the gear in back.

fauxto nick 05-25-10 10:57 PM

Honestly, I was star struck. I just mumbled "hi" and got him to sign my Columbia hat and sort of walked off haha. He seemed nice, but very very shy.

No offense taken, I'm about 5'11, I wear a size 30 and I weigh 157. I'm about 5 lbs over my normal weight right now, so that gives you an idea of how skinny Mark really is and how excessively skinny the other pro cyclists are.

Yes that is bicycle heaven, that's the fitting loft at the shop I work at.

No, there are no Treks in there. Kidding of course.

Nice dude, I would love to meet Cav.

+1

Sigh, this sport does a number on body image :(

Farby 05-26-10 07:37 AM

would have been better if you got him to point to his crotch with both hands or give the finger.

thats still pretty sweet though.

just remember, we're all too fat and slow for this sport. It makes me feel that if you weight more than 150lb. you are a Clydesdale.....

graphs 05-26-10 07:47 AM

That is awesome, Nick!

gsteinb 05-26-10 07:48 AM

I don't know who that is

Stupid sport.

Just some limey kid. They say he's fast.

gsteinb 05-26-10 08:00 AM

no clue. I can barely recognize most of my own teammates unless they're wearing a kit and helmet.

Hunt-man 05-26-10 08:25 AM

I'm confused. So that's Armstrong on the right? Who's the fat guy on the left?

Mark Cavendish, the Manx Missile, the Isle of Man Man, the Fastest Man on Two Wheels, etc...

ILUVUK 05-26-10 08:46 AM

You look positively giddy. Cool pic!

ok. not sure what's the point of regurgitating a bunch of silly nick names is.

AlexTaylor 05-26-10 08:49 AM

You were obviously excited, you had to cover it up with your cap!
