In between all of our Mayors' Ride excitement, I talked to Fast Freddy
Markham today and at just shy of the half century mark, he is still an
unbeatable bike racing force, Here's the story:

========================================
At approximately 6:20 am on July 2nd, 2006, 20 years after winning the
Dupont prize, Fast Freddy Markham set his 20th world record; winning the
prestigious Dempsey - MacCready Hour Record Prize. Fast Freddy covered a
distance of 53.43 miles in one hour, bettering the previous record by
over 1 mile. Fast Freddy and the Easy Racers team received the $18,000
prize for the fastest one hour in history. Over $40,000 was awarded to
the participants. It was a fantastic event and Fast Freddy proved to the

Just one small point: that "Easy Racer" is a Varna.

Actually, what Fast Freddy has proved is that he is still one of this
world's supreme jerks. Recumbents can be fast or not, but the main thing is
that they have to be comfortable. The Easy Racers are so-so for comfort and
in my not so humble opinion not in he same league as the late lamentable
Vision. All this emphasis on speed is a distraction and should not have any
place in the world of recumbents. It is always the last refuge of
scoundrels.

Actually you proved you are still a world-class asshole. After
basically destroying the recumbent newsgroup single-handedly you
continue to berate and antagonize those whom you know nothing about. If
the world never heard another word from your mouth, it would be a
better place for it.

You make your momma sad. You disgrace your family lineage. I suggest
you seek professional help.

Jeez, all of the above just because I do not like to read about how fast
some jerks are on their freaking recumbents. Is there not a racing newsgroup
where assholes like Fast Freddy can go and stroke other assholes like
himself about how fast they are. Why should us sane and sensible types be
bothered by the likes of them.
