Tom Danielson vs. two fat guys..who wins?

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

oh ya, that is right, I totally killed Friedman today up Cheyenne Canon road.  Well actually I only was able to pass him in the last 2ish minutes of the 17min 20 second climb.  Up until that point he had nearly 100 meters on me.  Oh that hurt, but I totally stuck it to Friedman….Take that sucker!  I am sure it was a pretty funny site seeing two “bigger” road racers duke it out up that insanely steep climb…..here is Tommy D’s take on the climb…..

http://www.dannypate.com/  There is a new picture addition to it.  Dang funny.
as for me….well Friedman and I were out attacking like made men on the Saturday Group ride.  Although Friedman showed his true selfish colors and did not follow suit on one of my last attacks, so the group came back together and he lost the World Championship Mailbox Sprint.  LAME!
My best buddy Clay Worthington rode himself so far into the ground that his face was still bright red after we had stopped to get more fluid at a local 7-11.  Then a track sprinter dropped him as they both limped back home.  Clay told me that Friedman was like a kid in a candy story at the start of the ride…..”Oh Clay we have to attack, when can we attack, come on Clay lets attack”….Clay tells Mike “not yet wait until we turn right”…..Mike: “oh man this is going to be great, come on Clay lets think of something funny to yell, ?Ya suckers? or ?suck on this suckers? or ?suckers? or”…..Clay said he just keep on coming up with crazy phrases that he could not even understand.  Then 30 seconds after we turned right Friedman and Clay put down a sweet attack, while Friedman was all over his bike/like it was a one wheeled wooble well….”YA SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!”  The sweet thing is that none of the normal group riders new what to think of this, so they got a nice gap quite quickly.  Clay is still laughing about Friedman’s attack tactics.

Nearly puked

Friday, July 21st, 2006

So today Friedman had me on the rivet to day with his insane abilities.  I nearly puked and we were only half way up the climb.  Rising from the Colorado SPrings @ around 6500ft to Divide that is around 9500ft….oh I was feeling great.  At the top, it was not so pretty.  Friedman said he was getting his camera, but I did not come up with the goods…thank God!  Then we had to come back down and go for old reliable Gold Camp Rd…..he was stating we would do it 3 times? uh ya, if my legs actually worked.  After one time up I was done and ready to through in the towel, but then Friedman eye’s this hot chick riding up and he makes me flip a u-turn so that he can investigate?  Well he nearly wused out when we got to her, but then I guess he oxygen levels returned to his brain and he went back for an encore’.  Success!  Nice Job Friedman!

you can’t be attacken my nipples…I have a sun burn!

This phrase was stated to me by Andrew Krueger the home stay son that we were hanging with out last day at Super Week.  The even better thing is that it took him nearly 15 minutes to muster up enough attitude to be able to tell me that.  Mind you I had already been attacking him for quite some time.
what else…….Friedman had to take a drug test today, but he had already went pee just before the USADA people came, so he took them down to breakfast with him because they have to follow ones every move until he or she is able to go.  Then Friedman downs a couple shots of espresso, contemplates how is going to get around the fact that he now does not have to pee, but take a number 2???? So tells the USADA officials that he now has to take a number 2 and one of the officials quickly states……”Just catch the right one please!”  So know Friedman is taking a dump while a USADA official is watching him pee in a cup at the same time?  Pretty funny!

Why don’t I ever win???

We totally had a 3 man wrecking crew against many of the full team squads.
Meatball, Rashaan, and I had a great time at Super Week.

Steve Tilford 1st
Brian Jenson 2nd
ME 3rd
Keith Norris 4th….he is not really midwest, but he is cool with me, so he is in the list.
We were all in a 4 man break for nearly 70 km of the 90 km race.  In the end I was blown, but it was great for Steve and Brian, because of course Steve took the WIN and Brian took the YELLOW LEADERS JERSEY!!!!!!
I am so stoked for Brian!

We are staying with a great family by the name of The Kruegers. No Freddie is not here, but what is here are some dangerously hot MILF’s, cousins, daughters, friends, and just about every other woman here in Milkaukee?  Oh ya I am here to race….not run around….race, race, race….
Jonas Carney owes Friedman and I BIG TIME….and he had better come through with the PROMISE!

The Pate (Danny Pate) has been to XC Mountain bike Worlds, Road Race Worlds, Time Trail Worlds, and Track Worlds in his career!  He could have went in Cross Worlds, but I guess he just did not want to go…..The Pate is amazing….I tell you, I tell you! 
The Pate has been destroying Friedman’s and My legs over the past few days.  It is sooooo nice to get back on the Moutnain Bike again….even though I really suck now-a-days.

Is that Joe?
I am all moved into the Olympic Training Center in Colorado SPrings, CO.  The great thing is that I will not miss Joe Hill as much as I thought, because they have a life size bronze statue of him right inside the front gate!  I have already given the statue….Joe….3 hugs. 
Just found out that my whirl wind life is up and gone again on tuesday as Friedman and I head out to Super Week up north.

I loved looking at the Plastination of the penis and testicals for sure!  I even thought about taking some pictures of them and sending them to Butthead for his collection, but they would not let us take any pictures.
