Hey Scitt, are you a pro racing in Europe?

Oh no. I'm a 45 year old wannabe.

Seriously? Are you racing sportifs then, or are you just yanking my chain?

I think I nominate it for Most *** Filter.

Type P-akistan in the filter, and the first four letter words get censored out because P-aki is a racial insult in the UK. Epic fail.

My personal favourite is a place in England called S****horpe. So dire that letters 2-5 get censored out. English posters can explain this better then I can.

He really is riding the whole RVV course during the sportifs that is held the day before RVV.

I am a long time amateur road racer (since early 1990's). I have been intrigued with the northern classics for more than 20 years. Last year I had decided to do the Tour of Flanders Sportif but chickened out. I'm doing it this year.

I stopped drinking beer at Christmas and this represents just how serious I am.

You are far more dedicated than I

Good luck on RVV! I am sure this has already been said, but let's hear a full report afterwards

OK I have Doctors appt. April 26 in Los Angeles. Scott's ride is 4th. So I would be open the 23,24,25,26 of April for The Backabbey. Also is this manly man evening or should we bring dames?

 

[craig1985]

If somebody can loan me about $2,500 and I will be there.

I'm not drinking a beer because it is 7.19am here.

I'm good for any of those dates who else? Scott? Race Radio? Everyone? Leaning towards manly man event but I'd be open to ruining the cycling discussion by bringing along the broads.

I was thinking the same thing.


Well aren't I a stick-in-the-mud. I won't be back from Europe until April 28th. Gonna hang around for P-R, Amstel and LBL (tough job, someone's gotta do it).

I think it would be fun to drink great beer at a fun place with you guys, but scheduling might be a challenge. If it works out where I can make it, my vote is dudes only for the first get-together.

Freaking hilarious.

BTW, I'll throw in $100 to contribute to the future deliquency of Craig1985. 24 more donations and he gets drunk at the Backabbey with the rest of us.

I'll match that. If we buy him a free vacation it only seems right that he buys the beer then.

wow I thought I had the life of leisure, Scott is going to be in Belgium for a month! Nice. You are going to come back talking Flemish.

Dreaming.......

Scott, are you taking in Ghent - Wevelgem when you are in Belgium? Because if you can get to the Kemmelberg, there is a great restaurant called De Alverman (http://www.alverman.be - it's in Dutch BTW), where you can have lunch, drink quality Belgian beers and watch the race on TV, go outside and watch the riders climb/struggle up the Kemmelberg, go back inside, and go out again and watch them climb it a second time.

You would probably need to make a reservation though.

I'd heard rumors of Pasadena to Azusa, up old HWY 39 (which currently ends at Crystal Lake) right on HWY 2 to Wrightwood right on 138 through Cajon up to Crestline left on HWY 18 to Big Bear

Back Abbey!
