Another 'Legend in his own Mind"
So basically a "mediocre cat 1" DQs, DNFs then drafts off a man 20
years his senior with no racing experience all while doped to the
gills and possesing the ethical code of the polio virus is now telling
us 'HOW IT IS'.
Like I said, he should probably shoot his parents for passing along
all of that bad genetic material.
Same advice I gave the Menendez brothers when they were afflicted with
baldness as teenagers.
I wonder what ever happened to those crazy kids?
Kiddies, this is why you should never, EVER tell strangers your name.
Anton aka "me" agrees.
Pussies.
It's common sense. Crazed nuts can find out a lot about you in less
than an hour once they have your name.
And if you end up missing in the desert no one here will even notice
you're gone
If they notice the dessert is missing, I'm gone.

The rbr FAQ hasn't been updated lately; what allusive trope did I miss
this time?
I have no idea what you are talking about, a Dairy Queen? I like a
Chocolate Buster Parfait after my kids
little league baseball game as much as the next guy, but this
reference is so obscure to me it isn't offensive in any way.
This was 8 years after I quit racing...and I got fourth, and I was
racing on a
bike with downtube shifters and 14 year old tri-spokes? I was on 6
cups of
coffee at the time, that was it.
Am I supposed to be embarrassed about this?
I got fourth at a local pro/cat downtown crit 8 years after I quit
racing?
Again, I don't care what you think of me, but I have the idea that
maybe
your palmares are not so impressive. Maybe they are - brag about
yourself, I would love to know
the race results of guys that spend most of their time googling other
people - you could be out training that
whole time, and then maybe you could get fourth at a local race. Who
knows?
But you are unwilling, which is fine - and we really don't care about
your pizza making abilities, which may be impressive,
but not bicycle related.
Hey Fred,
Here is a result from 1999, when I was actually trying to race:
http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/results/1999/apr99/apr26.shtml
15th out of 120 guys at the Tucson Classic - a regional stage race,
nothing special,
but please don't call me out anymore, I was exactly what I claim
to be : a mediocre cat. 1. I quit racing pretty soon after this, I
wanted to try something new:
financially supporting myself.
Do I really need to defend myself? I was trying me best.
You are probably a fat dude that spends his time googling, maybe you
don't want anyone
to know your name for a reason.
I respect Brad Anders for not being a pussy, he never knew me but I
knew of him
for a reason, at least he was a real person and not a sycophantic
newsgroup fanboy troll.
If you raced, and know about Brewers Hill and Gates Pass and Mogollon,
just email me
and we can talk...
Your self-awareness is exemplary, Matt.

You've never been in a four man break, in the wind, over rollers for
four hours have you? Everyone in the group knows that some riders are
doing their fair share of work and deserves to win...and somebody is
soft-pedalling and pretending to suffer when they aren't.
A lot of time I couldn't win, but I could make sure a guy lost. I made
sure that the guys who didn't contribute didn't win, I would drag them
back with a K to go - and any serious cyclist knows what I am talking
about.
I found that most real bike racers are gentlemen.
Please just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.
Fred
Hmm, I'm myself, and I'm not embarrassed at all.
Who are you anyway?
How can you pretend to know anything about cycling without revealing
your
background? You don't have to mention your name, but you could at
least
say "I'm a 55 year old fat ass from Iowa that raced my bike as a cat 5
for
two years during the Lance Armstrong fanboy era, 2003-2005."
or "I did Ragbrai once and my wife had to pick me up at a gas station
in Des Moines because I got cramps and wanted to eat some beef jerky."
Or "I got ninth overall at the Tuesday night crit series in shit-town
Vermont."
Anything, throw us a bone.
How can you pretend to judge me while you hide behind your anonymity?
It's not like you say anything controversial, or have an identity that
needs protection,
you have nothing to say but one line posts that mean nothing...
at least you could say something interesting just once and justify
your anonymous
existence.
Better yet, tell us what makes you capable of pretending that I don't
know anything
about cycling and you do? Be specific - if you are correct, I will
shut up and bow down to
your authority.
I think your one line anonymous posts that criticize others are an
indication that you are a spineless and anonymous coward,
prove me wrong,
Mike
No! Don't stop. I can't wait for the implosion and for him to start
challenging people to fistfights at Starbucks.

You aren't people.
Ok Rico is no joke when it comes to posting online, I mean how do you
make 531 posts in one month in 50 different groups dude? Puzzles,
pizza, woodworking, bike-racing, cardiology, vacuum cleaners,
architecture, is there ANYTHING you aren't interested in?
Rico is a real Renaissance man, I googled him - like you guys like to
do - and learned about
a fine dovetail saw, I bought a cheap one at Sears, but the one he
recommends seems much better - one year guarantee -
I bet he is a much better woodworker than I was a bike-racer, but Rico
doesn't like to toot his own horn:

I'm not pretending you know, or don't know, anything. I'm stating
emphatically that your posts about your results, which you seem to
think lend credence to what you know, aren't helping your case. And
for what it's worth, let me state also that my results, or lack
thereof, aren't relevant. One difference between you and me is that I
know it. Oh, another difference would be that I didn't need to dope
to achieve my mediocrity.
Now, if you want to talk about this man to man, we could meet at the
Starbucks on Tramway. :-)
LMAO - another grand slam ! Why aren't you this clever when trying to
ridicule me?
You're a doper - a cheater and a fraud and you're still dishonest with
yourself about what you've done and you're trying to get us to buy
into your mentality that there are "real dopers" and respectable guys
like you.
Sorry Mike - you crossed the line - there's no such thing as sucking a
"little bit of dick."
The reason people post under aliases are numerous
1. nobody gives a shit about anyone's accomplishments
2. everyone gives a shit about logic and reason in here and having a
good laugh now and then
3. cycling includes a number of fruitcakes, dreamers and psychopaths
and the group has had its share on nutcases
The broad reality - there are some good cyclists in this room - some
that won then and some that win now.
I have no problem guessing that you and your dope would be about 7-8%
slower than me (clean). I raced and trained with the best riders in
the US (some holding world records, world and olympic championships)
as near equals - ( my PBs within less than 1% to about 2% off of their
PBs depending on the event.)
Those last 2 points are like the ice at a bottom of a glacier - dense
and impenetrable (as an honest rider) -
With dope you're still on the surface of the glacier making snow
angels in the soft fluffy powder and trying to get attention for your
accomplishments.

Are you becoming a googling fat-ass ?
I like rico more now that I know he has more interests.
I was let down by that link. That's obviously not Yahtzee. I did
this "googling" thing he mentioned and it is really quite incredible.
Found his web site - seems to be an industrious guy.

Gentlemen or not, it's a race---not everybody
gets a trophy for showing up special olympics.
Nobody gives away a win. It's ripped out of your heart.
If you were good enough you would have won that race.
You weren't and now you are chamois sniffing,
pretending that it does not mean anything to
you except you did the right thing.

If you want to stock rbr posters check out the fleshlight forum.
I thought you were an expert on accusing people of sucking on one ball.
So let me get this straight, I want to make sure I've got your
talking points down right.
- You give up on races where you are not the strongest rider.
- This is because you correctly realize that you aren't smart
enough to manufacture a win in this situation.
- You have hostility towards riders that are smarter than
you are.
- You're not smart enough to realize the above points aren't
something to brag about.
Do I have this correct?
Fred Flintstein
PS This is sort of like how you demonstrate mastery of run on
sentences and think that being a former English teacher means
that it isn't poor writing.
PPS When Boogerd sat on LANCE for 4764km at Amstel and came around
at the end to win by almost nothing he deserved the win. One of
the things you do to deserve a win is not ride like a moran.
