Road Racing Clowns

Wow! Great day today!

I guess you could call it a 20 mile TT, because I put the hammer down from the get go. Did my 20 mile course in 1:08.19 (17.1 average) which for this senior cyclist is darn good. I know Team Radio Shack isn't holding any special emergency meetings to put me on the team but it's a good feeling when I do turn in a good time. Besides, it's always fun to pretend when I'm by myself and I kick it up a notch. I just imagine myself flying down the road with Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen giving out my splits to the rest of the cycling world. I got it! With real pros going more than twice as fast as I go, I could be the Rodeo Clown of cycling. All I need to do is trade in my spandex for some clown shoes and pants, paint my face, heck, I just might make the team after all. I can just see it now, every team has their own rodeo clown (we'd be called Road Racing Clowns)to help work all the fans along the road. Funny what a good time can make you think about!
