I’m not sure how I know this, but I think Fatty’s jumping the shark.

I think it’s a splendid idea. I buy huge bottles of gel from Hammer and dispense the stuff into a flask. Too many gel packs end up as litter, so we should all switch over to products like this that help to keep the roads/trails clean. So there.

First off, nice comment Derek. Nice to see that someone likes the GelBot . . .

Second . . .
Dear FC, how is the Stunt Diet™??? I think you probably backslid and don’t want to tell us about it. You were probably alluding to the Stunt Diet™ the day you wrote about cliff bars and unmentionable bodily functions . . . that smell.  But it is not the same as keeping us in the loop.  Come on man, you hyped your diet, made the sell, got us all hook line and sinker and then left us hanging! Unfair!

Of course you could have been terribly busy flying back and forth across the US and it has probably been very difficult to stick to your plan while doing so.

So we’ll cut you some slack, but just this once. lol   But please keep us informed, I would like to know if I still have a chance to win that bike you are going to give away.    :)

Third . . .
What do you think about the new Discovery Team? They posted the new line-up for the Tour de France team on Friday. Here’s hoping that you will cover the Tour this year in your usual witty way.

Fatty. . . sometimes you are a big baby, huh? I got me a gel-bot too, and a big ‘ol bottle of goo. . . takes all of one minute to put in some water and goo. . . slap on the lid and go. Only complaint I have is that the goo comes out *too* fast. However, its much, much, much, much better than reaching around to a jersey pocket to grab and gel pack, unwrap it in your teeth, try to stuff it in your mouth (and not connect your fillings electrically, shocking your brain), then fold up the packet into your pocket again. . . all while flying along in a sketchy cat 4/5 field at 25 mph or flying down a mountain hoping like heck that the shocks absorb it all.

Later for you. . .

Bike Mike

I was 15 when i did the cycling equivalent of skateboarding down deadman’s hill. A complete 360 without a helmet and she wasn’t even impressed, she thought I was an idiot. Go figure.

It’s a bit like skateboarding down deadmans hill as a 12 year old… it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Not to stray too far from the subject matter Fatty, but weren’t you supposed to update us on your weight loss on a regular basis? And what ever happened to your new diet? It seems as though you and everyone else have completely forgotten. What’s up? I’m interested to hear the results!!!

Dear FC;

We were going to send you our ultra modern automatic Derailleur, but after your review of the Gel-Bot gues what? We have reconsidered our decision. We will use controlled Focus Groups.

Best regards,

Automatic Bike Derailleurs, INC.

Hey FC,
Will the Fat Cyclist Fake News Service be covering the Tour de France this year? I hope you get your press credentials soon! Looking foward to your insight.

Here’s a small start-up company, struggling to make ends meet, and you diss them for gratuitous laughs. I can see it:

"Daddy, do we have enough money to mave indoors yet?"

"Son, we almost did, but somebody called "Farty" or something bad-mouthed us, and our sales went to crap."

I think you’re getting too big for your britches.
