Lancaster Death roller coaster
Huff’s on, Huff’s off, Creed off the front, Huff’s off, Creed still off the front in a solid break, Pate’s not breathing, Taylor Tolleson can’t breathe (he has some freak left lung problem from his European plague), Jason Donald has flatted 3 different times, 3 different Slipstream riders give Jason a wheel through out the race, Ian Macgregor and Alex Howes take the worst of the Donald assistance and are forced to pull out of the race with only a few laps remaining, Huff’ is dropped several more times, Francois Parisien kills the race for just really coming back from serious knee problems for the first few months of the season, Creed’s group is caught, Pate tears the space time continuum and bridges to the final serious break but is forced to settle with 4th, I am finally dropped for good in the last few km’s, and I am trashed from it all.
I will say that climbing the wall in Menomonee Falls more times than I can remember really helped me survive Lancaster.

I’m sorry, my dear Brad. But you look trashed! The team just had some bad luck. Congrats to Danny! You’ve got the rest of Philly week to get your Crit legs back!

one blade of vegitation at a time grasshopper… especially when you switch fields from blades of wheat to cornstalks… but once you master yourself in the corn, switching back to the wheat will be far easier.
Yeah it sounds silly, but the point is there. Besides how many “climbers” do you know, can sling it like you?
Just recover enough to raise that eyelid. If it does not kill you, it will make you stronger.

Sean showed me the vid of that race and I blew just watching it! Eat some carbohydrate.

Good God, Brad!! I just read about the weather and saw a couple of pictures!! You’ve been racing on indoor tracks! Not in a monsoon! The weather was horrid!
Plus, your buddy, bilko, always puts things in perspective. I was also thinking, that this is another case of you coming straight off the track, and onto the road! Remember, you are human!!

the last few weeks you look more like you’ve been boxing, not cycling.

6am. Looked outside and saw that it was cold and kinda wet here in Santa Maria CA, I thought, that sucks….. but if Huffy can do it, so can I. Thanks for the motivation!
shout out to meatball!

I started to get off the couch this afternoon, then I thought, nah, Huff’s off the couch for me.

Yup. he’s “off the couch” for many of us (club dooja-doopa)… which makes me so glad. He at least does it with a smile (most times - maybe that helps tug the eyelid back) which makes it all the more joyful for the rest of us slackers.
Cool thing is… he’s off the “lazy-boy,” the “kitchen table” and the “rest of the furniture” to make this work. I bet Huffy thinks they don’t use furniture at all in Beijing.
