ROADIE SPRINT!

Thanks to Little D, who forwarded me this post from the FloridaCycling.com message boards.
"Now I know why the regulars at the track call the upcoming TT the gay mile! First of all since road bikes with gears are allowed, this event attracts 90% roadies. Have you ever seen a roadie do a standing start? This is quite a sight! After the official does the countdown and says go, there is a pause as the rider trys to get his non existant hamstrings, weak quads and atrophied upper body to do something! Finally the bike begins its crawl forward as the rider sways from side to side as though he was climbing one of long grades in the Tour de France. And bear in mind this is starting with light gears and continually shifting up through the entire first lap. Then after a 30+ second first lap its time to try and make it up with an incredible bad line. Up and down the banking I cant figure out which line red or black the weak roadie is trying to follow! As long as he has his aerobars to point the way then he is safe. Just like when they do there mindless 10 mile TTs on the road. So pedal you weak road loser and lose an estimated 10 seconds in 1 mile because you fail to take track seriously! And you are the only reason why I sign up for this stupid fucking event, because I hate you road loser!!"


Maybe a tad bit overboard, but funny nonetheless.

I resemble that remark, minus the shifting.
