  1. The Burgmeister/Maire of Geraardsbergen/Grammont just banned the
    throwing away of waterbottles and other cycling refuse on the
    Kappelmur

    Since it's a pretty tough 700 meters, he probably doesn't have much to
    worry about

  2. I have to admit, our mayor is not my best friend, but i do understand
    this action. Every year, after the recreational Tour of Flanders on
    Saturday, there is an incredible amount of garbage spread over the
    Kapelmuur. You can hardly take a seat in the grass without an empty
    can of Red Bull being pushed up your ass.

    If you don't know the route from the Muur to the Bosberg, just follow
    the trace of garbage during the descent.

    I posted that in my typical "tongue in cheek" mode and didn't realize that
    there was a problem, meaning it to be taken as most of my posts in
    here are, with several grains of salt.

    Sorry about that, but the few times I have ridden up the Kappelmuur, I
    was far too occupied to jettison anything

    It seemed to me to be - I dunno really - either a pr stunt for the
    race or a bell ringer for the Burgmeister

    Here is as good as I could find on the route

    http://www.rvv.be/2006/eng/parcours/wegwijzer.html

    And as good as I have available on the starters

    http://www.cyclingstartlists.com/

    And since my man Vasseur is currently slated not to start, I will be
    rooting for VDB (dare I predict a podium spot since he already, I
    believe, had two second places?)

    That sounds unpleasant--at least, from my perspective. YMMV.

    "Since clubbers who consume Red Bull and vodka don't necessarily feel
    the effects of their drinking, they may guzzle down more than they
    should, according to Formigoni. She also noted that a sweeter taste
    might allow people to drink the combination of alcohol and Red Bull
    faster than other drinks."

    Is that effect supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing? Also, where
    can I sign up as a test subject for any attempts to reproduce this study?

    Sick, possibly delirious, adding Red Bull to the grocery list.

    I drink only Wired Cola, the world's only Cybermorphic beverage.

    The year I did it the Red Bull handups were at the top, and
    I don't recall a lot of detritus on the way up. But like
    Davey, I wasn't paying a lot of attention.

    the first (and last) time I tried Vodka Redbull was the after party at
    Baltimore cross nats. It was like all they were serving at the bar and
    Lynn B. slapped her card on the bar and opened a tab and people got
    [censored]. the redbull keeps you wired until the point of collapse
    from alcohol. Ugly. IIRC, Lyle Fulkerson carried Lynn back to the
    hotel over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and she wasnt the only
    one. It was like the Battan Death March.

    That stuff is dangerous.

    Good times...

    I'll remember not to sit down on the Muur tomorrow. Doing the full
    260km too, which is probably going to hurt even more than a Red Bull
    enema.

    Better without the Bull, no doubt... --D-y

  12. Good luck! I hope the weather calms down; especially the wind. It's
    already blowing quite heavy in the center of flanders, i wonder how
    things will be at the coast.
    Anyway, i will be waiting for two dead bodies tomorrow (my dad and
    uncle). I can't wait to hear their stories.
