VeloNews-Always Calling Me...
So, I get a call from VeloNews last night... Now, I know this is a surprise to some of you, but they really don't call me up all the time. Anyway, they are doing a story about grassroots racing or something, and want to know about good and bad experiences I've had, and particularly about Chris Lotts and CBR. Now, what I meant to say is that "Chris has been successful for two reason. One he listens to the riders, as evidenced by all of his crits being 100k for Pro 1-2 guys this year. And two, he makes new riders feel welcome. Everyone is a part of things, and everyone is a target for being made fun of at the same time, if that makes any sense. " Now, this blog may not show it, but I can usually write fairly legibly. However, when it comes to talking (especially on the phone) I sometimes have a harder time making sense. So the moral of the story is this, look for a quote from me in an upcoming VeloNews along the lines of "Chris Lotts- Fat and funny. Most old and new bikers like him and his 10000km criterium races". In other news, Saul Raisin won a stage at Langkawi and that's cool.

In other other news, Burke is writing about Langkawi for pezcyclingnews.com. He is better on his own blog as he readily admits.
Don't let that keep you from going to pez however, because they have strayed from the normal lance-worshipping and have posted an interview with Zach "Preppy" Morris of "Saved By the Bell" fame. No, I am not kidding.

I was surprised to find out that Zach Morris is the same dude as the NYPD Blue guy. But not Ricky Schroeder. Go Cesar Grajales!!!!

P.S. To get dropped by Zack would almost be as bad as learning Pilates from the stripper from "showgirls". Thank god I don't live in California.
