Snow Snow Go Away!!!
















So I guess by the title you can tell we have had some snow here in NY. Actually it hasn't been thatbad BUT I am ready fo it to be done with. Sure it looks all purty and shit but F*#K Purty!!! I want it to be nice. Nice enough that i don't have to wear bootys, 2 pairs of gloves, full length knickers and a hat. Nice enough that I can't see my breath when I am huffin and puffin into the wind and sometimes snow. But everytime I am out in this crap I always remember the pics of the boys in Belgium and I think, if they can do it, so can I! SO I will officially STOP complaining Darren.

Hey if you are wondering, I have found some good rides here on Long Island but unfortunately there is hardly any climbing. (Those of you who know I hate climbing might find it hard to believe BUT I miss it...especially my favorite climb Alpine DAMN!) Long Island is like doing the Paradise Loop every day. The longest climb I have found is just about 5 minutes long so needless to say my climbing legs are GONE! The group rides here I have been riding are pretty good though. I usually am hanging in the back as I am just finishing my base work and am now starting to add intervals. I may even do a training race this weekend depending on the weather.

Now for some non cycling related news. After a LONG time looking I have finally found a job. WOO HOOOOO!!!! Sure its not what I wanted but its a gig. I will be writing comedy for a radio prep service. Go figure...someone actually thinks I am funny and I have convinced them to pay me for it. The only downside is that it is in Connecticut. Oh well...its a job and I have accepted it. Now I just have to figure out new ride routes...UGH!

Hey Rick,
Can't find a better way to reach you....
Nice result at Harlem! I didn't even realize that was you in the break until I saw the results. My teammate was doing a lot of the chasing. He took 8th.
It looks like you're still racing for Strictly. When was the last time you had a teammate to race with?
If you plan on racing somewhat regularly in Cat 3 races, we're looking for a couple of Cat 3's.
I doubt you can do CRCA races since I think they still have a record of your double suspension, but you could do open races with us. We don't have a big 3 team, but it's growing and the guys do race.
Regards,
jeff
