I can understand your garden-variety RBR fred misspelling "peloton", I
don't get the unwarranted capitalization though. But Alexi has a blog
and everything - shit man, get a spell checker (1).
(1) - I realize "peloton" isn't in most spell checking programs - too
fucking bad.

dumbass,
sports scrambles your brains.
humans, as individuals can't provide all our basic necessities, so we
need society to live. to our primitive minds social approval is as
important as food or the need to reproduce and loss of status or
humiliation is as painful as sickness or hunger.
doing well at sports gives you a status boost among the people that
care that is as powerful being very good looking or being very rich.
that is why master fatties and amateurs cheat to win even low level
bike races with trivial prizes and poser like liz hatch call
themselves pro athletes.
guys like grewal need to realize that he doesn't live in an ancient
tribe and heightened status from racing quizno's as a 50 yr old won't
affect his well being. he is being fooled by the 1 million year old
wiring in his brain. once he realizes this he will stop talking like a
child.

I just figured "Son" was some kind of religious thing. You know,
Jesus H. Christ asked him to start racing again.

years. Alexi is still an asshole. Same as it ever was.

What's going to happen when he gets in a fatty master race with

Imagine a FM race with the above two plus LANCE, Lemond and Simeoni.
Somehow I doubt if that break would last.

You humans need to be rewired.

If Alexi reads RBR, isn't it axiomatic that Lance does too?

Alexi reads Tilford's blog and has posted there. I'd think that Alexi
would have at east jumped on the big Alexi thread earlier this
month.
As to Lance who knows... who cares? He's not a cyclist - just a doper
that picked cycling.
And I know how ironic that sounds - a confessed doper is admirable
while "the most tested human ever" is the ooze from the dirtiest
toilet in san francisco.

The adrenaline rush from racing or other competitive
activity still works for 50 year olds. This response was
useful when humans were in danger of being eaten by
a bear at a moment's notice and nobody lived to the
age of 50 anyway.
Now that we live in so-called civilization, 50 year old can
live more or less comfortable existences, save for the fact
that evolution has not yet figured out how to give
50 year old men a meaningful response to avoid the
mid-life crisis of evolutionary superfluousness. Sure,
coaching juniors cyclocross would be more productive
than Masters racing, but it doesn't invoke the same
hard-wired adrenaline response. Thus, we have Masters
racing.
There's only one short-term solution for this problem.
More death panels. If you haven't found something better
to do by the age of 50, we get all Logan's Run on your ass.

You could make FM racing dangerous so that there is a evolutionary
selection process.

Alexi really wants to join a pro team at 50 years of age? I guess
times really are pretty hard.

He seems to be downplaying his born-againism in this Quixotic
pursuit. Probably unconsciously forecasting his own failure and
imagining that God doesn't want to be associated with it.
Meanwhile, his idea of selling autographed T-shirts to fund his folly
is flopping.

Hmm, This time he *is* claiming to have played a major role in the development of
something, rather than merely setting up and attending an important meeting during
which that happened.

How would you suggest making money off it then? There were no software
patents in 1961 and if there had been and I got one it would have run
out before PCs came into play. Besides, in the '50s and '60s all
software was considered free and programmers felt honored when others
used their stuff.

Ask Bill Gates or Larry Ellison or Steve Jobs.

Fredmaster of Brainerd
Dumbass,
People like Les giving software away is how BillG
and Larry Egoson and Steve Namaste Jobs got into
a position where they could make any money at
all, let alone make a lot of it. For example, the whole
damn Internet more or less works because the BSD
programmers licensed the TCP/IP software freely
(it's in Windows, and nearly everything else). Can you
imagine if all the Windows computers in the world were
running a proprietary TCP stack Microsoft hacked together
that worked as well as the rest of Windows does?
As an aside, software patents suck. In fact, if you
look at how Gates, Ellison, and Jobs made their
zillions, I don't think they made it off software patents.

They made all that money because they're really good businessmen.

If you've read about Alexei's somewhat straitened personal
circumstances, you may notice his well-being probably would be
affected by racing Quizno's credibly. I would say that about very few
people, regardless of their talents.
It would apply to Chad Gerlach as well,

Yes. They each made a good product that did a good job;
and that many people wanted.

dumbass,
if it was the mid-pleistocene and you are one of the best mammoth
hunters in your village you will have access to more resources and
more wives. you will have more food and more people to care for you if
you do get hurt or sick or just plain old.
if grewal rides well at quizno's he will still be the same almost
homeless guy with no healthcare and a just a few big expenses away
from catastrophe.
i love the guy (i lusted after a tricolore pinarello) and his
depiction as barry muzzin ("i am almost human') and what a contrast he
was to the boy scout racers of the time (like bauer and phinney).
> It would apply to Chad Gerlach as well,
i have known a lot of racers so i am familiar with many types of bike
racer psychoses.
gerlach is just a dude who likes to drink. anyone who is bored,
doesn't have any responsibility or someone keeping tabs on them (like
a wife) and loves alcohol can become a chad gerlach.
that is why so many rock stars and starlets end up in rehab. most
people don't take it so far that they are homeless, but his situation
has very little to do with him being a (former) bike racer. there are
lots of almost-gerlachs around.
