Unless of course he's become a buddhist.

Do they make lycra robes? I'd be worried that they might get caught in the
chain.

This reminds me of something that occurred one year at the Pepsi 24 hour
race in NYC's Central Park. A group of cyclists entered the event from some
sort of meditative ashram and did quite well with virtually no real training
in cycling. Perhaps someone out there remembers the particulars of who the
were.

BTW, the best Buddhist cycling robes are a blend of Lycra and silk.

That's pretty funny--one I hadn't heard. It sounds like something the
Sri Chinmoy folks might have done.
I remember the years when Billy Bauer and then David White used to win
that. Then one year John Howard came in and set a record.
I actually tried it one year. There was plenty of horsey dander in the
air.

Billy was slightly [censored] at me the year Howard won because I helped Lenny
Preheim by working to help pace Howard to his record. Folks paced him in
two or three hour shifts. He was an amazingly nice guy. At the end of my
three hours he said a nice thank you and when I saw him after the event he
said it again completely spontaneously. I also recall John minimizing
nature stops by riding with a Texas catheter in place. He did stop during
my shift to apply a liberal dose of A & D Ointment to the nether areas.

The last time I did it, on the lower loop, just starting north from the 59th
Street side, a guy on a new DeRosa with Campy Super Record got crashed by a
kid on a bmx bike and destroyed his frame. It was clear that the park was
becoming too crowded to run that kind of event. IIRC, there were quite a
few crashes that year--1982??

Here are some relevant sites for Sri Chinmoy http://www.scmtny.org/

How Meditation helps Sport
Question: Does inner running help our outer running?

Sri Chinmoy: Our inner running definitely helps us in our outer running.
Through prayer and meditation, we can develop intense will power, and this
will power can help us do extremely well in our outer running. Meditation is
stillness, calmness, quietness, while the running consciousness is all
dynamism. Again, the runner's outer speed has a special kind of poise or
stillness at its very heart. We can bring this stillness to our outer life.
Poise is an unseen power, and this unseen power is always ready to come to
the aid of the outer runner.

Question: Does an athlete who has spiritual purity have greater capacity
than an athlete who does not care for the spiritual life?

Sri Chinmoy: Suppose there are two athletes who, on the physical plane, have
the same standard. If you are pure and the other is impure, what will
happen? If you really have the same standard, then definitely you will be
able to defeat the impure one. As soon as you touch the shot, you will be
able to control your vital thoughts, mental thoughts and physical thoughts.
But when the other one holds it, he will look around to see if others are
looking at him. When he is thinking of the audience, some of his strength
goes away. As soon as he identifies himself with the audience, what he gets
is their worries, anxieties and tension. But when you are throwing, as soon
as you hold the shot, there is only you and God. You are not allowing your
vital to come forward. You don't open the physical door. You don't open the
mental door. Purity is your bodyguard. It does not allow any wrong force to
come. You have no idea who is good, who is bad, who is your enemy. Your
purity-guard is very strict. It will not allow anything wrong to enter into
your mind. So if one athlete has the same capacity as someone else, the one
who is purer is bound to win, because he will not allow himself to be
attacked by outside forces at the time of competition.

Question: Does the spiritual life actually change the physical form?

Sri Chinmoy: Yes, the spiritual life does change the physical form if while
practising spirituality you care for the physical. There are many spiritual
Masters who practise spirituality and also care for the physical. I am one
of those. Even while I was in India I took regular physical exercise as well
as meditating. Again, there are many Masters who don't care for the
physical.

The spiritual life does have the capacity to change the physical, but if we
do not consciously use the spiritual life to help the body, then naturally
the body will respond only to a limited extent. It depends on the seeker -
whether he wants his spiritual life to enter into his body-consciousness or
whether he wants to have two separate existences. I feel that the two should
go together. But again, it is useless if the body becomes strong, but one is
not aspiring. The body and soul have to go simultaneously on the spiritual
journey.

I actually only did it one year--I think it was 1980. I did come down
to watch a while a couple of times after that.
I didn't try to ride through the night. We slept on pads and sleeping
bags on the east side. Maybe 30 yards from us someone's bike was
stollen. The cops actually caught the guy on 5th Ave. near the
Guggenheim museum. Far from seeming glad to get his bike back, this guy
seemed [censored] he had to leave to go down to the police station to ID the
robber.

competition.

Presumably this means [censored] is going to add spiritual purity to his

Why would you think that?

You're all sissy idiots.

Since you wrote that so well I do agree with about everything you have
to say.

I still hold that too many view the anonymous handle license as a way
they can say [censored] about whomever and whatever.

If whatever you have to say is the truth then sign it. There can be no
incrimination.

If whatever you have to say might be the truth but it's pretty bad
stuff, then keep it to yourself since it might haunt you later. For
sure anonymous handles saying bad things about people, truthful or not,
is always dismissed or never to be taken seriously (same thing). there
are better avenues than posting "tell alls" in RBR.

Question: Does the spiritual life actually change the physical

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Sri Chinmoy: Yes, the spiritual life does change the physical form

if

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

while practising spirituality you care for the physical. There are

many

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

spiritual Masters who practise spirituality and also care for the
physical. I am one of those. Even while I was in India I took

regular

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

physical exercise as well as meditating. Again, there are many

Masters

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

who don't care for the physical.

The spiritual life does have the capacity to change the physical,

but if

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

we do not consciously use the spiritual life to help the body,

then

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

naturally the body will respond only to a limited extent. It

depends on

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

the seeker - whether he wants his spiritual life to enter into his

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

body-consciousness or whether he wants to have two separate

existences. I

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

feel that the two should go together. But again, it is useless if

the

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

body becomes strong, but one is not aspiring. The body and soul

have to

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

go simultaneously on the spiritual journey.

As I recall, Chinmoy was the world record holder in the one-arm

military

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

press--an event in which to my knowledge he has literally no

competition.

that

How Meditation helps Sport
Question: Does inner running help our outer running?

Sri Chinmoy: Our inner running definitely helps us in our outer

running.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Through prayer and meditation, we can develop intense will power,

and

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

this will power can help us do extremely well in our outer

running.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Meditation is stillness, calmness, quietness, while the running
consciousness is all dynamism. Again, the runner's outer speed has

a

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

special kind of poise or stillness at its very heart. We can bring

this

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

stillness to our outer life. Poise is an unseen power, and this

unseen

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

power is always ready to come to the aid of the outer runner.

Question: Does an athlete who has spiritual purity have greater

capacity

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

than an athlete who does not care for the spiritual life?

Sri Chinmoy: Suppose there are two athletes who, on the physical

plane,

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

have the same standard. If you are pure and the other is impure,

what

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

will happen? If you really have the same standard, then definitely

you

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

will be able to defeat the impure one. As soon as you touch the

shot, you

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

will be able to control your vital thoughts, mental thoughts and

physical

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

thoughts. But when the other one holds it, he will look around to

see if

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

others are looking at him. When he is thinking of the audience,

some of

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

his strength goes away. As soon as he identifies himself with the
audience, what he gets is their worries, anxieties and tension.

But when

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

you are throwing, as soon as you hold the shot, there is only you

and

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

God. You are not allowing your vital to come forward. You don't

open the

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

physical door. You don't open the mental door. Purity is your

bodyguard.

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

It does not allow any wrong force to come. You have no idea who is

good,

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

who is bad, who is your enemy. Your purity-guard is very strict.

It will

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

not allow anything wrong to enter into your mind. So if one

athlete has

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

the same capacity as someone else, the one who is purer is bound

to win,

Quoted message said:
