    Without knowing exactly what motivates each individual, how can you
    possibly know if they need a reality check?

    dumbass,

    i can perceive it in what they say and how they act.

    i'm involved in local racing and it annoys me to drive around a race
    course picking up gu wrappers tossed on the road by museeuw wannabes
    who are 20 yrs older than me or riders telling me I shouldn't charge
    the top riders an entry fee because that's what they do in belgium.

    i can cite many instances where someone acts like a [censored] or has a
    sense of entitlement because they are "a rider".

    I've had exactly the same experience. Seems like most riders below Cat 2
    think that they ought to be treated like professionals even though they
    act like ignorant teenagers.

    By contrast, 80% or better of junior racers act better than most adult
    racers.

    What you misconstrue as polite, compliant juniors is really a weak,
    predatory bait attitude that predisposes them to having their adult SRM
    coaches on the national team inject them in their tight hineys with some
    'extract of cortisone' so they can use their results to get a raise from
    Tom Wiesel.

    Keep up your little Broadway act, Tom, and I'm gonna send Scott Mercer a
    one-way ticket to the closest commuter airport near your house with a
    pair of Terminator sunglasses and a phone book with your name circled.

    Lord knows that you're shaking in your boots at the very idea that you might
    get identified.

    The Lord doesn't exist. I suggest your read The Voyage of the Beagle by
    Charles Darwin. It's a book about how God isn't responsible for JACK on
    this planet.

    Mercer is checking his bags at LaGuardia right now. He's taking the
    phone book as a carry-on.

    If I were you, I'd get on my moped and go immediately to Tech-Noir over
    on Sunset.

    90% of the Pro Tour riders don't even put batteries in their SRM's unless
    Ferrari tells them he needs to know if he got their dosage right. And even
    then, most pros think the SRM needs to be on their bike in order for the
    shifters to work properly.

    Haven't you read Coyle's book where Ferrari has Armstrong and
    co doing hill repeats to check if they've got to the magical
    watts/kg value ?

    If Coyle wrote a book and failed to mention the McIlvain phone call or
    how a guy with an 82 VO2 max can generate 500 watts or why the LNDD
    found EPO in LA's '99 Tour samples, then I think Coyle needs a reality
    check if he wants future editions of his books to be stocked in the
    non-fiction section of Barnes & Noble.

    Coyle might also want to consider using the package insert for EPO as
    the preface for his next book.

    Why don't you go buy another Chris Carmichael video from USAC and leave
    the real discourse to us pros.

    P.S. Maybe you should quit playing golf and start
    doing the weekend ride in the old farts' group. Golf
    seems to be making you cranky.

    If you don't take yourselves so seriously then explain all the stains on
    the Allen Lim Power Tap manuals that show up under ultraviolet light?

    They shouldn't have printed it on latex. I got
    confused. It's easier to get confused when you're
    old, ya know.

    TAKE THE GODDAMN RED LUNCHBOX OFF YOUR HANDLEBARS and then we'll talk.

    Unfortunately, I am way too cheap to own a
    Powertap. I don't even own a red lunchbox, although
    it would be kind of cool if someone would make a
    lunchbox insert for the messenger bag I use for
    commuting now.

    I'll blither on rbr about power because I'm a
    physicist, but my training regimen is so lame now
    that a power reading would be embarrassing. Also,
    I'm just kind of lazy about it - I haven't worn my
    HRM in a year and the battery died, and I don't
    even have a bike computer wired up at the moment.

    So maybe you should ignore training advice from me -
    I can't even give you the name of a good pharmacist.

    I didn't know semen could be used as invisible ink like
    urine. rbr really is a priceless fountainhead of essential
    knowledge.

    Some PED's of the type I receive e-mail ads for might help

    Alternately he does have a fallback job if he can't quite

    Just proves the point that Magilla knows that "blow" really means

    My co-pilot told that to Pablo Escobar last time we landed at his villa
    in Columbia to pick up another 50 kee's, and the guy couldn't stop laughing.

    And then Pablo shot him in the face.
