The doping world

So a lot of this has been going through my mind and I am gonna scribble some shit down about it. How do you race 100 days a year and recover so well? How do you race for three weeks straight and recover? It is my contention that a lot of bad practices are going down in the pro cycling field, guys who will do anything to win or keep their contract. So they turn to EPO, HGH, or steroids. If you are out of the loop, there are a lot of people who have been implicated in "operacion puerto" in Spain and it makes me doubt a lot about cycling. Hell what if guys that I race against are not clean, then I am being fooled into believing that these guys are better than they really are. For me though, it is a sport and a passion, and I am not willing to throw away my health and love away for a drug. To say i won a race I want it to be pure, not tainted. But as my buddy Alvin puts it, EPO doesn't make you smarter. Thanks Alvin and good luck in France this weekend. Send me some pics from Le Tour too. OK, thats all I have to say about that. I could write a book but I am not gonna even get started.
Second I read a friends blog, Bill Canfield, and he mentions a lot of points about peple who touch our lives. To those of you who know me and consider me a dear and true friend, thanks for everything. For those of you who have been passers by in my life, thanks for the good times. Here is how you know if we are friends or not: A) If we talk on a regular basis, and not on AIM, or some stupid website. B) If you race bikes or work with me and know what I am really about. C) If you have been in my life and you realize that we are talking less and less, then you probably get the point. I know who my true friends are and I try to regularly contact them. I also thought I had some friends that I tried to contact, but they are "too busy". If you are someones friend you are never too busy to call or attempt to see how people you value are doing. There that is my schpeel for the day. So call ur friends and tell them how much you truly do value their friendship. If not then be happy for those friends that you do have. Off to the Wednesday night ride to punish some tourists. OUT!!!
