Ok, about to go for training ride, have I got everything?  Water bottles filled with the right electrolyte/carbohydrate mix to keep me topped up? check.  High tech synthetic clothing to keep me comfortable on my ride? check.  Heart rate monitor to keep my efforts within the stipulated expenditure range?  check.  Rope, manipulated wire hanger, harness & green MTB tire to drag behind me to troll for interesting pebbles on the bike path?  Check?  This photo of a unique training device was submitted by DERF.

This next listener submitted photo was sent to talk about another issue.  When I look at it there’s something very typical about it, almost too typical.

This photo may be along the same lines as NASA landing a man on the moon, or did they?

In any event, you can hear the Two Johns talk about this photo among our other timely topics.  International news of the day is John G did beat the bookie with his prognostication of Menchov, locally the Cinci tradition of Ault Park kicks off & John K slogs up Mt. Mitchell, Ted King shares his Giro experiences & the feedback rolls in:  Correction:  Luv-a-vet climbed 3,000′ vertical, not 300′, thanks to everyone that filled us in on HTFU & the Aussie’s jersey color combo, a book report, or at least someone copying book reviews, knee pain from Sweden, Cervelo creak mystery cracked, arm/leg warmers in heat? Bianchi Donkey wants to send chosen ones to ride infront of the bulls as part of a special Two Johns ‘vacation’, To Wong Fu & Queen of the Desert get us talking Hugo Weaving & more!

(that’s me 4th in line)
…even though one of them crashed me. Just kidding (other-other John). My fall down was totally self inflicted. The other-other John, Ryan Gamm (Inferno), and I were throttling it at the front of Wednesday nights final Ault Park Criterium/Points Race – a.k.a. “the ultimate battle for world domination of Greater Cincinnati – where grown men race all out for $10. Teammates Jeff, Pete, Mario, and Tom had just finished lining out the bunch as step 1 of our game plan to launch the other-other John and myself (Gamm invited along for his potential power contribution) in our bid to lap the field and pick up mega points. I had missed the previous 2 of the 6 total races and was down a bit in the standings, but teammates Eric, Pete, and Jeff had the top 3 spots sewn up. The evening was mine. The attack went. It looked good. O-O John was ripping through the top part of the course with me on his wheel. I thought he was swinging off, so I came through on his inside while simultaneously glancing over my shoulder to assess our gap. O-O John was not pulling off as it turned out. I felt him come into me/me into him. My 129 lbs. vs. his 185 lbs. was an unfair match. I went down fairly hard and was run over by Gamm. A few other guys got tangled in it but I thing I was the only won who hit the pavement — sorry guys, my fault. Anyway, O-O John got me back around to the s/f for our free lap. When I got back in I was bleeding and FIRED UP. Especially after myself and another rider engaged in some childish smack talking re. the crash — sorry Chris C., I was being a tool. Adrenalin, fury, and the sweetest lead outs ever by my teammates combined to allow me to win the night. Not too bad. A crash then a victory!

The Other-Other John says, “Voila, the idiot who crashed himself.”


I think I am going to need a new skin suit. Notice the chainring marks where Ryan Gamm ran over me.
