Brad Huff Cycling

Slipstream was able to hold it together to win: two stages, overall Team GC, Most aggressive rider for the week (Mike Friedman), and overall best young rider (Peter Stetnia)…..oh and also most incredible crash by Alex Howes who slide straight in to the Sram Neutral support care on a mach 10 downhill sharp curve, his bike had no real recognizable tube because they had all been destroyed in the impact, he is truly lucky that he is walking and can still count to 10. I am really stoked for the team, because I was able to see just how miserably trashed they were after every stage, having one of the youngest teams.

Taylor “Muscles” Tolleson was able to utilize is trade marked patented “knife bat” to take down the might Menzies. Congratulations to Muscles for pulling a big win. I am super stoked for TT!!!!!!
Even funnier is that supposedly Charles Dionne pulled the old celebration before he actually had it, needless to say it was funny to hear that Taylor rocked the finishing Sprint!
Taylor is my hero!!!!!!!

So seeing how my Toona has been over for 2 days now I have attempted to get my legs working again on some of the sweet training that is found in the Altoona area, no no seriously it is actually really good training! Needless to say I am still going uphill like giant block of cheese.
Well other notes….Karl Menzies is still making every cyclist (female and male) pee in there pants as he stamps his dominance on the Tour de Toona. Knife Bat! someday soon our team will be able to bring out the Knife Bat….then Menzies will be in trouble.

Also I know that I am not at all near the level of being a Tour De France Rider, but WTF? How many positives do they need to actually start striking some fear in to the riders. I mean come on, it is pitiful what certain riders that have been caught are doing to such a meaningful race. Deep down these riders are only destroying what they so dearly desire Wouldn’t it be great if ever guy was clean, ok ok a few extra cups of coffee might be one thing, but one or two extra goof balls or shots rocket sauce (which ever your prefer) is another. I think that we should have an asterisk just like in track and field….like wind assisted or juiced to the fucking gills or something like that? Thankfully on our team we had a line on our contract that stated if you have morals please sign on the dotted line next to your agreement that your left and right nut will be brutally removed by your grandmother if not. Go Tour

Mike Friedman is back! As he helps take control of the day 4 at the Tour de Toona he is rewarded with holding off his breakaway partners to take a well deserved win. Me well I rode at about 6mph as I felt horrible.
Congrats to the Super Friedman. Keep your eyes open for more days like this for Mike to come!

I suck at bike racing. Just hurt and ache all over. I asked this guy named Charles I was dropped with if we have even raced for 1hr yet….he said oh ya 1hr 3min, but the shitty thing is that we had been dropped way before the 1hr mark every came. Oh ya killing it in Toona alright.
Go Tour de France……WTF? Well they asked for it, now those super heros of the tour got it. Pitiful completely pitiful

Well my team are a bunch of bad asses, Health Net are pretty bad ass themselves, I worked on my chasing back a for a few kilometers on with my old friend Dan Smatz and race companion Scottie Weiss, then decided I should just do it solo after the last climb, ended the day probably 6 or 10 min back. Oh ya a crazy cold cold front came in and the rain came down in buckets, luckily we did not have to race in it as much as the women.

So one day down and hopefully several more as I was fighting getting time cut yesterday in the Team Time Trail as I was dropped from my team about half way through the 10 mile TTT. Man it was great, I really felt like I was doing some serious damage…that is slowing out team down by thinking i could pull through. Today is another day, hopefully I start to come in to some type of form?

so heading to Tour De Toona with my fingers crossed that all goes well. We shall have to wait and see.

Why do good and bad things seem to come together?
Well I am freaking out about the last half of the season.
Hopefully things start to become more clearer and more controlled as the big races draw closer.

I’m Lame as stated by my friend Mike Creed.
