Training Camps and Boredom Shopping

Outside of reporting on how many Belgians might be doing dope there isn't anything good going on. Discovery Channel's training camp sounds a little creepy so far. Poor Salvodelli broke his collar bone, and they have a bunch of "staff updates", and pics of bikes and what not on the Paceline site. I think i am a little creeped out by the "casual shots" of Lance and the local reporters articles. I know she writes for the Daily Peleton but it still has a stalker vibe to it.

Everybody else is waiting for camp...So Pro is getting pumped for his own Solvang trip, McGuires camp isn't till February (see 1/18 entry), and the Navigators are just skipping camp and gettting to it Down Under. I was looking at some of the links in other guys journals, John Lieswyn, to the races in NZ and AUS and they get on these regional teams for local races. They look so bizarre dressed up in their weird euro/Japanese style cartoon outfits. To be honest the most interesting stuff I have read is form Barbarella who is making a go of it on the women's CX circuit overseas this year, now that is hard core

Any hoo... not much else to do but cruise and look for stuff to by. So Pro is auctioning a jersey for a charity of sorts. Saunders is trying to move his old track bike (1/17) and I been spending my time trying to figure out if i got ripped off for this stupid shirt i ordered from Italy. I crossed the line from cyclist to weird fan guy when I put in the order.

It looked better as a thumbnail... I totally agree, though, i can't quite bring myself to wear it in public yet. I wore it around the house but it is just a little too..."tifosi", which rhymes with posies, for me.
