The System is DOWN… September 15, 2006
WHAT the shnitzel.
Some one has put a crash curse on me. I was rocking the wheels with mad skills ALL year and hadn’t crashed all year. (unless you count my “virtual” crash at toona which stimied my virtual GC) And now in my last Road race I biffaroony. Then in the last 10 laps of my last track race I eat it again. Concussing my brain meat. To top it all off, I come home to find my website has crashed so I can’t even gripe to my publix about my poor unfortunate luck. It is like a crash fest up in here. So here it all is, a back up of Blogany waiting to seep out onto the masses like the chemicals they are using to fumigate my girlfriends appartment as we speak…
Huh I hope that stuff doesn’t kill all forms of parisite. I mean lets be honest as a cyclist I am a bit a moocher, which doesn’t mean I am a spiecies of Parisite but it has to put ms in the same darwinian family…*gulp*
Here is a “virtual blog” for you…if my website didn’t crash it would have been up on monday…so just pretended…
Shades of grey…and black…and blue…and some off yellow???
Well I guess that is it…that is the year. I was just in Dieppe New Brunswick this past weekend for the Canadian Track Nationals. It was my most successful national championship ever. However I did unfortunately loose the 4km title to one Svien Tuft (props to him). Only by .5 of a second…it was close one…but tough to loose when that is my money maker. Faster next time I guess. I did however win the Points race…yeppiii…which to me is like the Paris Roubiax of track events. The hard man’s race. You have to be smart and on the rivet ever 3 min…and it has been 4 years coming. Since my first nationals I have wanted that event more than any of the others…and it was good to do it finally.
The rest of the weekend was interesting…eating lobster, crashing (no I don’t crash a lot anymore I have just had a bad run the last 2 weeks), and the always interesting…hanging out with the Regimbalds (you ABA members know what I’m talking about)
The conclusion I came to over the past weekend…I LOVE bike racing. It is just kick ass.
Check out this pic…how can anyone argue the P H fatness of that sport.

Well I am into Video season now. And putting together a LOST Footage Vol. 2. Keep your RSS Feed troughs empty cause you will not want this one to be returned mail.
Good Luck to the Roadies going to worlds….
Keep the rubber side down (or at least at a 45 if you only turn left)
Z-bomb

Zach - glad to hear you weren’t permanently damaged from the Madison. We were all pretty worried until we got the good news from Tanya that you were going to be okay.
Great results at Nationals, buddy. You deserve everything you get (except the crashes, of course). It was great to see you again and chat! Enjoy the off season!
