One Day's Drop is Another Day's Win

Why do we go out and beat ourselves up day after day? Why do we take so much abuse in the hands of others? Why do we suit up for a race against the very same people who just whooped up on us? Is it because we know, deep down inside, that there is a chance of another day. And that day may yield very different results.

igotdropped doesn't know the whole story of why Todd Hipp is on the side of the road at Walkersville. It could be anything (including the end of the race?) What we DO know is that he came back the very next day and won The Tysons Corner Circut Race.

Nice job.

Blue Steel meets Deer in Headlights at Walkersville

One must give credit to Tony Abate of The Bike Rack Cycling Team of DC. He sent the yougotdropped headquarters an email bringing attention to his own self pity. Not only did Tony get the big drop, he found the camera lens and gave his best Derick Zoolander for Amy Jones.

For that, we raise a glass of the good stuff, Tony. That's the way it's done.

Monday Morning Excuses

Tired of reading everybody's blogs about how they got this place and that place or how they drove the field for countless miles and secured a podium spot? If you are, then you've come to the right spot.

While we are all waiting for the photos to come in from around the interblogospherelistserves, we want to introduce a special feature of yougotdropped; Monday Morning Excuses.

This is designed for those of you that got dropped but don't know if it was encapsulated on digital film yet for all interwebbers to view. Therefore, we want to give you, the dropped bike racer, the opportunity to share your story with everybody before we have you all to ourselves. 

So...have at it and prepare for droppage.

(this should be good thanks to the walkersville 30mph winds)
