Mountain Man (aka Unibomber)

So, it would seem gigi isn't the only one around here with a side project. It has come to my attention that we also have a wiener in our midst (spelling intentional). Apparently vuduvgn (man, I really want to capitalize their names, but they just won't let me... slackers) has been going around Northern California and cleaning up at a ton of mountain bike races. For all of the press coverage go here and here. Now mind you, these articles don't even included the one win I personally witnessed in Napa at the Napa Valley My Suspension Is More Expensive Than Yours Classic where after whippin' some yuppie (and rabid Christian) tail, vuduvgn sailed past the finish line, rode over to me for about a ten word exchange, and then b-lined straight to his truck to slam a frosty beer. Nothin' like having a solid post-race regime.

Now, the reason I'm bringing you this news and not vudu is because our resident champ has taken a new job where he has finally, and woefully realized that screwing around on the computer all day doesn't a good worker make. I have not learned this lesson as of yet so, I'll be the water-bearer for now.

Given all of the congratulatory verbiage above, I'd like to be clear that my celebration of vudu is not totally unselfish. In fact, my dream is to someday start the Deluded Destroyers, a team of devastatingly powerful uber-cyclists that will someday crush all others in small cycling competitions around the US and then use their spoils of victory to leverage my takeover of regional cycling competitions around the globe, and thereby become supreme overlord of the mountain biking universe! ...Oh yeah, AND THEN THE WORLD!! (Which we would promptly give back once all of the Reds were sent to live on the moon)

The biggest problem with that plan thus far is they usually only give away t-shirts and tires if you win. Can you take over the world with untold numbers of over-sized tees and ten tons of Panaracers? I honestly don't know, I'm asking?

Anyway, good job my friend. I hope our plans for world domination aren't thwarted by your lack of a new Giant Reign with 6" of front and rear travel, 'cause that would be a real shame. Think of the children E. Sorry, inside joke.
