It just keeps getting better
I love these quotes, only b/c I've glimpsed what they're going through, but in no way have I really seen La Ruta first hand.
"Race Notes
- Andreas Hestler (Rocky Mountain-Business Objects) "Holy shit, what were these guys thinking? I was just demo'd (demolished) there, absolutely hating life, saying I was never going to ride my bike again. It was total physical exhaustion and heat stroke like I've never had before."
- Tinker Juarez "I need to sit down somewhere for awhile..." After he had recovered a bit, he commented: "it was really, really hard ... too hard. I totally agree that this is the hardest race. There is absolutely nowhere to pedal on the flat; my neck is sore from looking up the climb all the time."
I'm still dying of laughter at Tinker and Dre. Just picture those guys, slurring their speech, slumped in a chair, or better yet - 2 hours out from the finish, pushing their bikes up a hill and, like Dre says "...absolutely hating life, saying I was never going to ride my bike again"

Delirium apparently breeds humor among many of you sick freaks. Craig's Day 2 quote was classic too..."The free bike services was worth exactly what it cost ... my bike was shifting fine when i left it with them last night, but this morning when I tried shifting into my granny it went into the spokes, so i had to stop a couple of times to pull the chain out and gradually adjust it like it should be. Then I chased too much and blew - I was riding like a 14 year old on a cruiser riding to the grocery store ... with the brakes rubbing."
tell us about the one year suspension. I must have missed the story on why you didn't show up for the test. I don't think you were doping, I just want to know how inept the actually testing program is.
