This past week, Heywood attended two stages of the tour of California with that guy called Dave and a newcomer named Big Cat. Tuesday, we arrived at the finish line for stage two in Sacramento to watch the pros battle it out for the victory. Before the race, I was able to take in some of the scenery and talk to a few old friends of mine. First things first. I had to get a picture with my sponsors.
Floyd tried to explain to me the intricacies of his hip surgery. This is the same procedure my grandmother got when she turned 81. Shorty after the conversation with the Mennonite, some people in white lab coats came and took him away while yelling "wee, wee!"
JJ pulled out another win for team CSC. Nice work!
Wednesday was on to Wood's old stopping ground for the start of Stage 3. Was able to have a chat with some old friends while visiting the hood.
Michael Rasmussen and Wood formed a plan for him to shed some extra pounds. Also, he complained about feeling under the weather. After our talk, I weighed his bike to make sure it was legal. 15.3 lbs.
Got a chance to hang out with my old pal Bjarne Riis. “Let him sprea
d his wings” I told him regarding Jens Voigt. “This is his day to shine.” About time he listened to Heywood.

OK, Al will formulate one batch of homemade beer to the person who can guess the identity of this man. Hint: He was a cyclist a few decades ago. Very comical character.
Hey Bobby.
The world champ, Paolo Bettini.
My father getting interviewed by ABC news. They wanted to know all about Heywood and his bicoastal friends.
Over all, this has been a wonderful tour and we still have one day remaining. All are welcome to come join Heywood next year and follow the whole race. Any takers?

Nelson Vails. Moveitfred used to ride with him on a regular basis out of Long Beach Velo down on 2nd Street way, way back in the day. Dude used to live in Sunset (after his bleak messenger days in NYC, of course). Moveitfred will take delivery of his brew next week.
Heywood, friggin' awesome write up/pics. When it comes down to it, how could the event even get off the ground without representation from the bicoastal boys. Next year Moveitfred is going to get lazy ass Al out of bed and out to the left coast.
Why can't Moveitfred enlarge the pic of Heywood with the cycling.tv babe? FUCK!
ps, if you see a chick today who looks lost, that's prolly meg.
pps, nice shades. those your wife's? your mom's?
Also, if you see that little Italian cricket again, slap him for Moveitfred. If Moveitfred hears one more time in broken English "yes, uh, I am from this little town in Italy 'La California' and now I am in California...." he is going to do the liquid scream.
Fred: Little time on your hands?
Woody: Nice work! Good reporting.
Rasmussen looked a bit chubbed up there...anything you'd like to tell us? I was a bit pissed about the lack of zoom on the winged woman pic too. What gives? Also, were you hanging with some frame builders beforehand? (I thought with the spotwelding goggles and all...)
Do you and Bjarne shop together?
Nelson and I where the same glasses. Let me guess, since he has a silver medal to his name you won't say shit about his glasses.
Exactly.
And when are you going to remove the fading "Commanche JV Player of the Week" ribbon from the mirror in your old room at mom's house?
Sheesh, fucking grow up, will ya?
Fred, I took down the "JV player of the week" ribbon and put up my varsity one. JV is so not cool anymore.
