"wanna race?"
Luigi de Guzman wrote in message . .. "sure," i say. "On three. One....two...three!" Luigi, you don't do sprints by counting down, the art of sprinting is in the tactics. You should have let her led out, and then with 50 meters or so to go you come around her, if done right she won't have any more to put into her sprint. Anyway, with little kids you can always win by changing the location of the finish line to suit you. |

Maybe that's what happened to George W Bush Junior when he was little. :-) Do you recall the ad for the Toyota Sprinter, in which it beat the "Green Monster" turbine-powered dragster in the 579(?) foot dash ? Toyota and monster at starting line. Light turns green. Toyota is off and accelerating. MOnster is waiting for the engine to come up to speed. Toyota is accelerating. Monster is waiting for the engine to come up to speed. Toyota ... Monster..... Finally the engine is at speed, the monster accelerates at an alarming rate and, just before it passes the Toyota, they take the picture of the winner (Toyota) in the 579 foot dash. |

Once I had a couple of kids on BMX(?) bikes riding in the same direction that I was going. As I caught up with them one of them started accelerating clearly wanting to race. I pulled up even with him and stayed there for a while and then raced ahead dropping him. When he caught up I told him he got up to 20 MPH to which his eyes got really big and he replied "Really? Thanks!" the bmx kiddies are always shocked to see me in the middle of the street. Well-executed merges through SUVs draw stares. -Luigi |

My 8 year old declared yesterday that when she wins a stage at Tour De France, she's going to have a podium *boy* give her flowers, trophy, and a kiss on each cheek. This inquiring mind wants to know... --are the podium babes different each day, or the same? (And how does one list that on one's resume? "Awards Presenter and Busser, Centennial TdF") --how long after the race finish is the podium thing? (Do the gals have to kiss sweaty yuckky buggy cheeks, or do the riders wipe down or even change out of their sweaty kit first? --do they use the same jersey on LA every day and he gives it back right after the event? Or do they have a new one? --On the Velo-News site there's a marvelous photo gallery. In the team time trial podium picture LA has his bibs hanging down under his (team) jersey. Wassup widdat?
