DW - you forgot the first thing that put you on the slippery slope - Trek ;-)
Well, no merger so far....

You're right, it hasn't led me to victory yet.
Maybe I should have stuck with the Giant OCR2.

I took my 6 year old to a try sailing day today at Toronto. Lucky I've bought the new bike. There's another few thousand $ next year.

DW, are you B grade at Vets?

C-grade was interesting.  Good to watch the cunning old foxes Masso and Coxy do their thing.

HJ,
I was there in B grade. C grade were the same speed as B for all but the last lap.
I saw your son but did not see you.
B Masson & B Cox are getting results every week.

DW, to find me at the finish you only had to look immediately behind Mason and Cox and a long way in front of The Domestique.

Hilljockey

Once the Domestique finishes his exams the form reversal may turn around very quickly and you may not be to far away from having IT guru passing you as well. Ah the fun of getting old, Just ask Robbo it's been many years since he could even keep pace with Junior. ( that look of despair is hard to watch). Even DW will only buy his son a boat for fear of the beaten look on the faces of a few racing fathers.

HJ - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xret4_eagles-desperado_life

DW - well done - sprinting with Sprinting Royalty, and 2nd Wheel.  All you need is to hve Commando remove the "unwinningitis" he smeared on the Trek, as he did with my Platinum.  Some say he applies the "unwinningitis" during a full moon, and I ain't talking about nlunar cycles if ya get me drift (talking as if I am at Ramo - I do miss Ramo, but Wyong is just as sunny).

2nd Wheel - if my sources are correct, and we all know the answer to that, you taught a well known C grader a lesson he had forgotten in the Vets sprint.  He is a quick learner and chasing a very fit younger lady, so he may show the form improvement that a well known B grader was sowing 6 months ago...

Maybe i should change my name to "THE TEACHER" as i like to help those a little less talented than myself. The well Known "C" grader was very apreciative of said lesson provided free of charge. Chasing Younger Ladies is something we would all aspire to but due to moral or legal grounds never fulfill so well known "C" grade is a winner already.

Instead of chasing younger ladies, why not "chase" an older one.

in other words, let an older woman stay in front (like me!) -  and win a race or two.



 (Granny old but granny not who is almost always chasing someone younger),

Wins have to be earned, full stop. Letting someone else win a bike race? = why race in the first place.

Its like being the only one in an a race, hollow victories are worth nothing!
