VDS: 2009- Have You been Thinking About It?

Face it. You've been thinking of VDS next year.

Where is the bicycle and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. How did it come to this? Where is my VDS team?

Why think about it? I'll just take the opposite of what DREW takes and I'll be fine.

Could you get out the 09 list before Thanksgiving? That way I don't have to talk to my relatives.

My team is simple- I just put Lance on as many times as possible until I get to 150 points. Lance is 1 point, right?

The fact that you don't have the 09 VDS list out yet severely disappoints me. Dirty west coast hippies.

No. I am much more concerned to see if France can squeeze by the Faroe Islands on Oct.10th to get into the World Cup.

Sorry

I just haven’t heard which State frat intermural touch team is playing this week so I can’t offer a prediction.

Did you know that the word "Kazakh" is related to the word "cossack"?

… only in the sense that people often assume that they are because it’s “that part of the world.” Google cossack vs. kazakh and you’ll see that they ain’t related…

Beavers/Ducks? Apple Cup? C’mon … what about the Big Game down in Berkeley?!?

No way some Czech outfit is racing any VDS races, while Rock Racing just might.

Ursula, you need to change one.

The one where it’s choosing the opposite of you. We all know that it should say DREW. Review his team and remove anyone he has from your team or you suffer the bizzare ass diseases, issues, and crashes that comes with it.

Done and done!

Sorry- I just had a brain fart. OF COURSE we should do the opposite of Drew!

Just remember where I finished

I think it was mid to lower mid pack wasn’t it? Certainly not Dead Fucking Last.

But yeah, I wouldn’t draft your team the way I do – I draft strictly based on who I like and who I think will do well in the races I tend to watch. Not a good recipe for overall VDS supremacy but not a bad one for making Flanders, Paris Roubaix, the Giro and the Tour interesting. I also just don’t have the desire to spend more than 20 minutes putting my team together.

You did not come in dead last

BUT… you had a serious vodoo thing going on with some of your riders. Seriously, safer to check your list and be warned if any of us keep the same riders on our lists. ha ha! LOL!

Home Sweet Home State

Can’t we include the Tour of California? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze?

BTW, I am heading to Tahoe tomorrow for 4 days with 6 teenagers. If I never ever post here again you’ll know its because I lost my mind (or the kids tied rocks to my feet and dumped me in Lake Tahoe.) Its supposed to snow Tuesday though. Yeehaw!
