Back in Black

So you can see a few things here.  First, obviously the new RogueRacingProject kits have arrived and look really great.  Plus ten to MrSeiler for all the hard work. These actually came out better than I was expecting, and I had relatively high hopes to begin with.

Secondly, you can tell that this is somewhat of a "mature" team.  All that means is we have people I can actually drink a beer with and relate to as humans.  I'll take that deal.

Just to clear up what is becoming a common misconception about our relationship w BikeClicks/Team Louisville, we actually don't exist primarily to hurl feces in their direction.  I spent all of last weekend riding, racing and having a great time with those guys. So any of you bitterly hoping to catch us crouched, hands cupped in the receiving position getting ready to hurl some, look elsewhere and get a freaking hobby.  Trust me, the village is big enough for more idiots.  We are just those idiots.

This event was going to happen elsewhere but the rider now known as Scheduler Prime, didn't check a calendar and we went with plan b-my house(dood you knew we were going to milk this one for a while longer right?).  So new kit and a viewing of the new Cyclofile 2 dvd, perfection. Of course the domestic goddess had book club/drinking on the schedule, and when she heard the magic words "team meeting" and "cyclocross dvd" she was gone in a ball of dust.  (she was looking forward to gossiping w tallgirl but they seem to find ways)

Getting kit that you paid for a long time ago is like Hanukkah except you get all the presents at one time.  I'm certain that you people(pronounced goyim) have a correlate of some kind.

After distribution of kits and pizza was accomplished, we sat down to watch Cyclofile 2.

It was extra special for Dug and I because it had great footage of the 2007 USGP in Louisville, which was my first cx race and where we met Myerson for the first time.  We were his pit crew, which shows you how lean these guys travel.  Several of us took to drinking every time Adam appeared on screen.   A fitting tribute. He seems to approve. Or he's mocking me on facebook, knowing I don't participate.  I have eyes everywhere, my man. Don't forget.

I'm looking forward to pinning a number on the RRP  singlet tomorrow for the Mini w cyclist -hating Ari, while Dug is several hours south doing the Nashville Country Music and Large Hair and Fashion Accessory Marathon.  

Speaking of mr roemer, he did want me to clear up the fact that the picture of the sofa-king (below)is not an actual picture of him tapering.  It's just a cartoon, any resemblance to Dug, real or imagined is your problem, not ours.

Best txt message of the week? Duane-"can I stop by your house and drop off a log?" we love Duane but this did seem awfully familiar, until I remembered that he had a perfect log for me to use for building the mtn bike skills.  Turns out it wasn't scatological,  just a damn fine offer

So good luck runners, riders and racers of all kinds.  Be careful in the heat this weekend.
