After I realized I did terribly in the TT today, I went over to checkout results with Austin before hitting up BK.
I saw that I finished 86th (or so). In 87th? Roy Van Cleef.
The following conversation ensued, as I saw him standing behind me.
Me: “Hey Roy. I barely beat you. That sucked.”
Roy: “Yeah.”
Me: “I even tried.”
Roy: “You tried? I hope you didn’t have a TT bike…”
Me: “Oh, yeah. I did. TT bike. TT Helmet. Skinsuit.”
Roy: “Oh, wow. I didn’t even warm up.”
NOREAST ELITE. THAT’S HOW WE ROLL.

But here we go.

When I last left you, I was sitting on the couch internetting and drinking High Life. Which is the #1 doctor prescribed solution for a cycling injury.
Stage 3: In which Ryan starts to think he wasted his money
But I couldn’t wait around much longer. Thursday was an ITT. I bought a TT bike this winter, in hopes of crushing my teammate Duncan McGovern in any and all TTs that I would compete against him in. This was my first chance to do so…and sadly, I was working with a 50% function right leg. Not ideal.

Well, the Giro di Jersey has been interesting so far. Perhaps you would like to learn about it? Come with me, and learn about the last two days of bike racing.
First things first, we needed to put some bikes on the roof:
And so we did. 5 dudes, 8 bikes, almost enough dicks to satisfy me. Three of us had TT bikes, two did not. After we did the math, we realized we had close to $30k of bikes on the roof. With that in mind, I should have probably taken some of those off ramps a little more slowly.
