Bicycle Thieves
Uncategorized 4 Comments »Gutted.
Woke up this morning, read my email, made a few calls and then perused my usual cycling related websites. Nothing unusual, always a good sign in these trouble times.
And then this- http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2007/tour07/news/?id=/news/2007/jul07/jul25news . Vinokourov positive rocks Tour.
So yes, I’m gutted.
I’m insulted, hurt and fucking irate.
Cycling is life to me and I treat it with respect. Hours of training, living healthy and sacrifice and nothing more. No pills, no shots, no transfusions. Nothing that would soil my accomplishments or steal from a competitor.
Apparently some have lost sight of the reason cycling is such a beautiful sport.
Apparently nothing matters besides the almighty dollar.
Apparently we are left with no choice but to turn off our TVs and get back on our bikes.
See you on the road.
