The "Hincapie Multisport Community?"

The Hincapie Multisports Community??

I'm surprised my invitation to live there (thereby driving up property values) hasn't arrived yet, but I'm sure it's in the mail.

Still, so the rest of you will know where I've moved to so other, lesser athletes can learn from me:

Greenville, SC-- There are numerous golf communities designed and built for golfers, and now there will be a Cycling and Multi-Sport Community designed and built exclusively for cyclists and endurance sport enthusiasts.

Yup, we're talking about 300-acre site located 22 miles north of Greenville, SC, with a bunch of mountain home sites.

A dedicated community for athletes? Two thoughts:

First, it already exists (it's called Boulder, Colorado).

And second, the athletes who really need to live there have got absolutely zero chance of scraping together the money to do so.

Still, I'm willing to be wrong (though it's never actually happened). Read all about it at:

Maybe Chris can rent us

a home there for a week, for a podium Cafe reunion. Seriously though, I'm always open minded to any efforts that recognize the needs and wants of cyclists. Plus I would imagine that Greenville has a great climate for training. I have to go now and chisel the ice off my car..

TC, never underestimate the elitist culture of our sport. They have to make Colnago Extreme C's for someone..

I already think of my house

as an elaborate bike rack.

This extends that thinking to the whole neighborhood.

It seems like a cool idea, but my cycling hobby/addiction is an escape from my regular life. It's the bat-cave of my wayne manor. That's like moving into the bat-cave....

C'mon now

The Bat-Cave had some very cool amenities:

Cool during the hot summer months, no need for wasteful AC
Off the beaten track - no chance of annoying petition seekers wrapping on your front door during dinner
No mosquitoes! Bats eat something like 5 times their body weight in bugs a day
Telling your date "Let's head back the Bat-Cave for a Grand Ultimo martini" sounds so much more hip and mysterious than "I say Muffin, shall we repair to Wayne Manner for a rum toddy?"
Though Alfred technically works at both addresses, he's much more laid back and stylish at the Bat-Cave. The kind of guy who wouldn't be phased if you happened to overdo it on the peyote one night. Um........., moving on
The Bat-Cave is a much better place to have a party. One of your guests feeling nauseous? No worries, heave over the edge of one of the numerous deep chasms. Irritated at aforementioned guess for making a scene? No worries, push him over one of the numerous deep chasms
And finally - no property taxes! Hell, you don't even have a mail box in which to place any bills.

That was...

A Geek test. You failed.

Miserably.

Still, you have a chance to save yourself. Finish the following sentence:

Live long and __.

(If you can, you fail again)

He searched the universe

for the ultimate clean, close shave. He was empowered by Galactus so he easily would have overpowered the GL. He wouldn't have even had to resort to the yellow light spectrum to do it either.
