There we were, at YGD World Headquarters with 'borrowed' 62 inch flat screen we just 'purchased' at Best Buy so we could watch Paris Roubaix on the ultimate TV. Beer in hand. Waffles in the kitchen. Significant others sent on errands.

The stage was already set. Tomeke v Sparticus. Tornado Tom v. Fabulous Cancellara . Who will win? Will a fattened up Leaf Hoste take charge? Will this be Hincapie's year? Will Paul Sherwen stop quoting Sean Kelley?

Paris Roubaix is always off the hook. Every single year. However, this year brought an even sharper edge.

None of this mattered. Sparticus had his own plans. Much like Chuck Hutchenson in every geriatric classed race in MABRA, Sparticus was on a different level than the rest of the field. The cobbles screamed mercy on Sunday with 48km to go.

District Cycling Droppage - AA Style


Hey, isn't that the guy from The Discovery Channel show? He's getting his drop on like he was an anvil. Well, if you didn't know, he's now a part of a two man crew over at the District Cycling Podcast. He knows this is coming.. We love them. They love us. Let's get married...or at least spoon.

(Adam..have a seat).

At this point, Adam is thinking...

"I'll ride one more lap before I get caught on camera"

"Grrrrrr.. Livin' the dream man..livin' the dream but first...MUST. GET. OVER. HILL."



Insert caption here..PLEASE!!



Thanks to the one and only Harry Fang who brought out his new digital camera and took great spy shots for us. Make sure you point at the people riding bikes next week and not the trees!

Out of Town Droppage

It's nice to see that some things are national. We have this gem while everybody is waiting for the photos to start coming in from Walkersville and Tysons (don't be shy photographers). In the meantime, kick back, relax and enjoy some new flavor to yougotdropped. OHIO STYLE...where mullets aren't just for cycling..they fo' yo' MOMMA TOO!!

The masters of smugness related cycling podcasting have been in touch recently. John G from Two Johns Podcast holds certification as our honorary Midwest droppage police. He has submitted a photo bringing us Ohioian goodness with the following photo along with excuse email from a dropped teammate of his (green sleeved kit).

We call it, "Getting Dropped is So Much Better When You Aren't Alone"

(email from droppee)

"Also, you owe me my team socks.........didn't have them last week which is probably why I got dropped on the climb TWICE..........either that or because you sent out a good luck message to everyone on the team who was racing to wish them good luck and didn't wish me good luck, yeah, you forgot about me and I haven't been able to sleep ever since..............damn."
