Barloworld Team Thread (Page 6)

nasty skanky barloworld boys: eeeuw!!!

The Tour is my annual source of inspiration in the middle of winter so HANG IN THERE! Its really hard to practice solf control when you are having delusions of riding the Tour

Just a quick Barloworld update... as TriAya has posted Robbie Hunter did a fantastic job last night, especially since his team is almost ALL climbers so he doesnt really have a lead out man/team.

I was reading and interview with him this morning and he has his heart set on a stage win this year... so every sprint finish he WILL be there!!! Last night was his best placed stage finish in the tour EVER

Eh, don't worry, I bounced the Barloworld boys back to Credit Agricole to pee in their thread, too.

I think the picture is kind of hot.  The angle it was taken from, anyway.  I know I'm sick, you don't have to tell me!!! 

sf_biggestloser - 2007-07-12 10:53 AM Put in another ride, however it was the 'bare minimum' as far as time goes. I made up for it by continuing to push the pace. I tried keeping cadence a tad higher than usual today, average was 105. Edit - 4 of 12 rides down, not even a week in...

The bare minimum still counts!!! Good Job!!!

The rain gods smiled on me and I was able to FINALLY (I know, it's only been 3 days but it felt like forever) take a ride today.  Legs felt great, and I could have gone much harder... but I know that Friday is going to be hard enough!

2/10 down.

ROCK ON BARLOWORLDERS!

It has been my great joy to follow this thread, trawl your logs, and come up with some good, hard numbers.

So everybody is really putting in for the team.  Judi again leads in overall standing despite her insane ER schedule.  Kudos also to Josh v2.0 who's second despite being the original bikeless wonder with Nurse Ratchet for a gym manager.

SUPER CONGRATS TO ALL ... you spin me right round, baby right round, like a record baby, right round round round ...

Although madcow is giving us a run for the money, I think barlo leads the unofficial team standings for smacktalk too!

Thought I'd stop in and let you know that Saunier Duvall rider David Millar is comfortably resting in 4th OA.

Dear Triaya,

Are you seriously counting those 5 & 10 minute jaunts as a stage ride?? HMMMM!

Oh.....and by the way JoshKaptur..............you ready for this? I'm actually gonna be nice............GREAT JOB ON BUSTIN' YER CHERRY & ROCKIN' YER 1ST TRI! Even w/ the flat tire & all. However, it didn't happen if there are no pics in your album.

SEE YOU IN PARIS.........We'll be waiting!

Um... guys... its really hot outside... and there's rush hour traffic... I've got to cook dinner... so...

I sucked it up and rode! I won't let you down.

Mark ... you rock the Barlo-house.

Soretaint ... ain't only your taint that's sore, I guess. As for mine ... sore it ain't! As I said ... newbie knows how to read the rules ... 15 minutes wearing flipflops on a tricycle with pink-n-purple streamers counts!!!

On a less cheerful pink-n-purple note ... those are the colors my ankle is turning after a mishap involving a very fat puppy and a broken dog crate. Never fear ... lots of ice, a compression bandage and it'll be right as rain (right enough to go slowly on, or if not, hell, it will still be right enough to cycle on a trainer with like zero resistance for 15 minutes.  Vive le efficiency!!!).

Sorry to hear about your ankle... sounds similar to what happened to mine... just keep it elevated all you can... will help with the swelling heaps!!

Just remember two a day workouts count if you need a couple of days off to recouperate.. that and I think you are riding 20 stages??? Or 21? so you have two rest days up your sleeve if you need it!

And if all else fails.... one legged drills Because Im sure you know how FUN they are!
