Thanks. Although I am afraid that I am really not much more enlightened
than I was. Is Henry Chang a famous bike racer famous or something?

Famous enough. He was a pretty good track racer in SoCal. Too bad he decided
that smart ass is better than smart.

Wow, I'm impressed. The way you discuss engineering problems has
always made you seem like you've never done a single hands on thing in
your life.

You saying that someone else doesn't know what they're doing is about as
comical as you can get.

Tom He's not gonna say it, but he could point to the successful band,
the instruments they've designed and built, the patents, the
furniture, etc...This isn't exactly joe blow at home on the Wurlitzer
which is hooked up to the cobbled together, out of Popular
Electronics, color organ either.
It seems to kill you that he had money, and then has been successful
too.
From everything he's ever said I'm betting his life wasn't the handout
cakewalk you seem to keep saying it was.

street bikes with 32-40mm tires are more likely to stop dead in their
tracks.

Here's a picture of Niels Albert not being stopped dead is his tracks
by deep sand today:

He probably trained with SE intervals.

Three seconds after that picture was taken, he stopped dead in his tracks
and fell over before getting his feet unclipped.

Dumbass, automatic translations don't impress me much.

Ma 9e année en français de compétences n'a pas impressionner les
Français, que ce soit. Mais ils sont restés au moins civils et poli.

Ah. A local hero.

Par for the course on the Internets.

Have you ever been in a locker room?

More specifically, the locker room when you were participating in
competitive team sports with your peers.

Yes. *And then I graduated from high school.

Well, some of the stuff that goes on here is like a locker room and
you don't have to be in high school to understand how male athletes
relate to one another. If you're too "mature" to relate to it, well
then too bad for you.

Somehow I'll survive.

It's kinda weird how Fat Steve has attempted to do his character
assassination with Kunich as sort of a distant follower. I've never
met Kunich and I've only spoken to Fat Steve a few times at the
practice crits, years and years ago.

My feelings about it are summed up by: I'm glad I'm not them.


thanks,

K. Gringioni.
