    Cross jumped the shark a while ago, undoubtedly before Kunich started lecturing people on how to do
    cross dismounts. It is now coming back as a retro thing. By January, it will be out again - it's so
    last year, you know.

    You believe everything they tell you on NPR? Or are you just so attached to those Happy Days reruns
    and mass-culture in general that your metaphors have to come from television shows?

    'Cross can't be passé until it becomes mainstream first. And for that to happen someone will have to
    assassinate Verbruggen.

    I heard straight-edge vegan bike racers are next in line to jump the shark.

    that portrays his tactical wit accurately, one would think.

  11. The water feeding zone was unusual of course. I saw them mainly shower themselves or even toy around
    with the water (Wellens of course).

    My dad was insulted that, even in this weather, crossers would get bidons at will. He said when
    he did amateur stage races in the summer (late 60's), it was often forbidden to get bidons during
    the stages.

    This sounds quite irresponsable, but (let's dream/guess) maybe it was a measure to deal with
    the problem of dope/drugs cocktails that were often delivered during races, specificly to ride
    the final.

    LOL!

    So, what, like me and Bilodeau are next in line for being unfashionable? I'm not even straight-edge,
    so I think it might just be him. And he quit racing, so there may no one left. Perhaps proof of
    shark jumping.

    They did a review of that book on NPR earlier in year. And typically I'm guilty of believing
    everything I hear on NPR. They did, however (at least in Boston) cover Tyler's homecoming in
    Marblehead, which was nice.
