pacenti race report

the bike so gets the job done. stiff, comfortable, balanced, loves cornering. i heart kirk's bike.


i don't heart all those guys from the App State and Spin Cycle teams. typical fatmo race. i get in every move *but* the one that makes and laps the field. swoop is right. its all about suffering. i know ---- well I could have jumped on the move if I had really dug in....next time....

fat, never go with the first 3 moves. never.
give up your life for the 4th, 5th, 6th.
after that..ride it in man. youre done for the day.
bike racing is simple after all.

....only problem is last week the very first move lapped the field.

hey, i'm just a 3 bozo with no teammates. no move is bad move for me right now, but then again i'm a nutcase.

Fatboy:

Hos many guys do you really need to watch? Are the same guys making the moves that count? This is usually the case. Keep your head up and your brain engaged. Watch what is going on. You will usually see patterns, at least I do after 6 or 700 races. Stevep is right of course, the first few moves rarely work. Just keep at it.

why are you watching them, as if they each have
some great bike or 10 thousand miles in their legs. jeez.
you fat effin' robert, the doktor robert to those in the
know, and you have 2 legs and a lung set just like
the rest of the yokels that pay to race. ya' gotta get
outa' that i'm waiting for the right move to go with
mindset and take it to the effin' man atmo.

do these guys race on ducks? no. roadmasters? no.
cadillac? hell no. they each have a bike and you have
an even bad azz-er bike. they train. you train.

reading the race doesn't always mean that you turn
the pages and wait for a good action scene. fatro is
the action. go make it happen atmo.

Man, after reading that I want to go race my bike or at least kick somebody's ***! I'm an UNSTOPPABLE FORCE!

Uh..what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

Atmo = Tony Robbins. Who knew?

stop thinking. if you're worrying about "moves" you're not racing....think with your blood; if you don't you may as well pull out on the second lap because riding a bike around in a circle with a bunch of other idiots is a stupid thing to do if you ever take the time to think about it.
