I am planning on going & maybe doing a little riding while I'm there...may take the family or not, that remains to be seen.

City Cycle

City Cycle is moving & having a sale, I like his pick of location on Park St...here is email from Drew:

"I am moving my store to a New building I bought.
2740 Park street (Across from European street grill).

I am moving Sunday Feb 24th. (next Sunday)
All this week,

All Tires and rubber "buy one get one free"

everything else in store 30% off

pumps
etc.

All sales final"

Of all the days not to have my sync cord ... oh well. Come Thursday night (or Friday morning) I will have some fun pics to upload.

The highlight: My father-in-law and I managed to procure (don't ask) some race staff shirts and were hanging around the podium when one of the race organizers came up to us and said, "Hey! ..." (when you're guilty, hearing "hey" is not always good.)

But then, he asked, "Are you the two guys here to see Brent?" Uh ... "Sure," I said, lying through a smile. Long story short, "Brent" was one of the top race honchos who needed some volunteers to help with a particularly important assignment. And ...

We wind up wearing security vests and guarding the start-finish line on the podium side. Right ... in ... front. My father-in-law literally stood on the line at the barrier. Unbelievable.Great finish. Epic day. Everything, from seeing the finish to escorting the riders from the line back to the staging area (I got Ciolek; my father-in-law got Haedo) to watching the podium from right there was memorable.

FYI: Talked to Tyler at the RR trailer and told him he needs to ride with us when he comes to visit his in-laws, who live on Amelia Island. He asked for my phone number and said he'd call.

Whas Up?

How come nobody ever blogs anything here?

CONTADOR IN JEOPARDY..ADDENDUM

Sorry, I meant Alejandro Valverde faces the same problem.  8^(

...film at 11.

CONTADOR IN JEOPARDY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFEND TITLE

From news source on Wednesday (0ld news for some):

It appears that CONI, the Italian Olympic Committee has reopened it's inquiry into the Operation Puerto doping scandal and is seeking to bar any riders involved from racing in Italy.  A small part of this year's TDF passes through Italy.  Guilt by association.  Alberto Contador faces the same problem.

...in other news, an Italian (again) was sentenced to 4-1/2 years in prison after being convicted in the cocaine death of Marco Pantani.

Maybe it's time to legalize doping?  Later this weekend, I'll post an article/column from one of the contributing editors at Mountain Bike Magazine from back in '05 when the Tyler Hamilton snafu hit the headlines.  Personally, I do not condone any sort of foreign substance in an athlete's body, but he certainly has a strong argument to the contrary.

Food for thought over beer & peanuts when you're tired of watching football.

A Christmas Concert...

An Interactive Christmas Card for you all.

Please copy the link, paste it into your browser and turn up the volume.

The Club is for social riders!

If you ride your bike faster than 12 mph, please do not associate yourself with The Club. You are a deadbeat and a mooch.

The Club is for social riders. Remember that.

Jerseys

Go to Champion Systems' Web site and look at the sizing. As it stands now, Red holds a slim lead over Blue in the "race to replace." I've opened up the poll for further voting.

What, no gossip to toss about? Are we slipping?

I expected to hear back from David after the BOD but he seems to be "incognito."  (You know, that small "recognizable" island off Sicily).

Where's the dirt?

Possible new jersey sleeve logo

So, what do you think? At least it identifies us as members of the NFBC, if in a somewhat backhanded way.

This is funny

Make mine a new Kirk Terraplane while you're at it, big fella ...

Spread the word, but...

Remember, as Heywood said, we need to emphasize this is a gathering!   

Organization? "We don't need no stinkin' organization." 

Loose-knit!  Not too serious.

Interesting to note how soon the word will spread to the "others."

RED Love it !!!

We need to spread the word....and talk it up big time....

No dues...no board of directors.......First Coast Cyclists......

A TEAM jersey....First Coast Cyclists jersey ....Roadrunner Jersey

Fine...mighty fine.....

Thumbs up on the red one

It matches my red bike. When are the orders due?
I won't be here this weekend. Instead, I'll be in Miami celebrating my dad's 85th birthday. Leaving Friday, returning Monday. Gonna take a bike along so I can get in a few miles between all the drinking and partying.
Behave while I'm gone. No mooching.

I want a Jersey...

Sign me up, baby.

Let's go for Red Shorts, too.

THANKS, Mike...

I'm in.

Now I can blog from work.

Hee Hee,  the Moochers are being taken care of!!!
