Your problem is quite simple to understand: 1) You said "I'm Ulrich.", but 2) you were standing up! You should know that Ulrich never stands up! If you want to pretend you're a big hulking german guy who goes to a spanish doctor, you need to just turn a huge gear while staying in the saddle. I think then people might understand you!

If so, he's wicked fast, and that's a crazy race. I don't ever plan to ride with people that can grab me and throw me forward.Wonder if he was eating Clif Shot Bloks too??

You wear one of those, and you're making a statement. And that statement comes off as silly when a guy who calls himself "Fatty" catches you on a big climb.   rick - you just need to be better at estimating your commit times. that said, how about we do a redux of that gauntlet ride you did a couple weeks ago? i want to try that.   max - you're racing it for real? seriously, i would love a race writeup.   dug - yes, all four of those are very good excuses. i mean reasons.   botched - you were eldened by elden! what are the odds?     frank – dayglo yellow is fine. i’m talking TdF Maillot Jaune yellow, complete with sponsor names and stuff.
