More Beans Mr Tagart?

hey yall! .. sorry about the Kodak gallery thing. . . i'm not an I.T. man. obviously. but you should be able to cut-paste the new address i posted. . if that doesn't work, i'll try to field more of your complaints.

tough crowd.

and sorry about the delayed response / blogging etc. i haven't had tones to say. but,
except: i met a girl; a woman, rather. she's older than me, by 3 days .. so, that might account for my recent silence. it's been nice spending time with someone who knows very little-almost-nothing about road cycling. .. which has been my only recent escape from it, ..well, besides, maybe, sleep.. even then: sometimes i'm dreaming about it, .. . and, but then, when i DO talk about it .. i kind of realize what sort of freak i've become. ..If cycling was a religion, i'd be line for the Papacy. i've lived like a cycling monk. . .even n0w, i'm sitting outside in the garden behind the granny studio house, next to the lemon tree, with my computer on a big trash can (the best signal place to steal wi-fi from the neighbors) and birds are landing scavenging my bread crumbs, St Francis of Assi style, which is nice, if you're sold on it. . . maybe i should start brewing some stout . .. but, these are my last solo days in SR. Monday Garcialater and McKissick show up to town and join me at the granny house: 314 lbs and 900 avg watts if you combine the two at threshold. ..
and then we start preparation camp on Thursday when the other T of CA guys arrive. . .then 8-9 days later WHAM! reality.
This week i went out to the Coleman valley climb (stage 1 KOM) and did 12 x 3min on it all-out .. and felt noticeably better than a few weeks ago with Levi. .. and the last 2 days i've been wrestling with my TT bike and the new fit i have since the wind tunnel. . today i rest a little more: go 2hr easy; then tomorrow a biggy on my TT bike. . with some prologue simulation . .
i heard there were bets going around new mexico about my prologue finish. .. are some of you betting against me ? . .. have you always been?

Here's the betting line: Scotty vs. Ivan B.--you pick the winner and the time difference. $5 to join, closest guess wins!

I'm on books for Nydam over Basso by...12 seconds.

If Basso wins but gets himself back into "operacion puerto" trouble, than all bets are off.

Scotty,
sounds like CA has tied yet another string to you. Just remember that Boulder is still a nice place w/ lots of friends and family and fans...
Put me down for Nydam 4 seconds over Basso...

Wait a minute. Why is everybody passing up on the "Lady" he met? I didn't see one stinking photo of her in the gallery! Scotty you have to tell us more.

HOLD UP! You weren't speaking about your new TT bike were you? Thats a lame joke if you were.
Take care man.

hah i guess we're not IT guys either, if we couldn't figure out how to copy-paste the photo link into the browser ... scott, you training too hard to give us hell for that?

selina says hi! actually, she told me you said to say hi to her, i've been slack on my blog-reading the last couple of days.
