First off head to PEZ cycling news http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=pelopics/pps09/pps-dec09 and check it out . Click on the photos theres someone we know and love . OK I want to start out by telling my training story form Thursday . I got outta work early and went on a nice 3hr ride I did some hills and was finishing up on some flat roads over by the Giant . The wind was whipping and in my face . I was on a narrow stretch of road and I saw a mail truck go by , he was moving at a good clip and I didn't think anything of it . I had my head down then I would pick it up , well you know . Then I see a black bumper !All I had was time to turn and put my shoulder into the back end of the mail truck . BAMMMM I was on the ground . I saw Tom & Jerry outta my right eye and the Coyote & Roadrunner in the other one . The mail man comes running out of the truck and was like are you all right , you just moved the truck like 2 inches !!!! I told him I was OK bad had to sit there for a minute to decide if my collarbone was broke . I started to get my senses back after a few minutes and had some movement in my arm . I had the dude help me up I grabbed my bike put the chain on and noticed that the rear derailleur was through my wheel . The mailman went running into a house to call someone for help I told him not too but he went anyway . I bent the derailleur back as best as I could put it in the 12cog and it just was tingling on the spokes . I waited for the dude to come back for a couple off minutes but I decided to get going before a started to tighten up . It was a long 12 miles home . when i got there I saw the damage done. It was a nasty bruise all over my shoulder and it fuckin hurt . I'm thinking it was broke or at least fractured . When I downloaded my Garmin I was going 18.8 mph and then a straight line down to 0 . I talked to Doctor Pete and we decide I should tough it out . After a days work it felt just fine (yea right) . Now I waiting for a bill from USPS for the dent I put in their truck . My finger is tired I will do Sunday ride on Monday .

Hey Rondo,
If you go for a ride today, have a good one and try not to "go postal" on anyone.
Nick
Rondo,
Just read that Johan Bruyneel and US Postal are joining forces once again. Seems they're putting together a squad for this year's Special Olympics. Perhpas you could be a domestique!
Nick
What this I hear that you are going to the Tour de Bahama's?
It's true! But rather than pay for airfare, Rondo is going to ride himself through the back of a FedEx truck with hopes of ending up in a box headed for the islands.

File and folder this post and all related comments to you-know-where.
Hunter that last post is very unlike you? Are you okay?
I have never know you to be a grumpy guss.
Are you sure Nick wasn't driving the mail truck?

Whats the matter Hunter did you want me to talk about your dumb ass move before the light at rt68 ?
I read today, with extreme sadness in my heart, that Lance Armstrong will be retiring after the 2011 season.
Perhaps that should also get filed in Rondo's 'who gives a fuck folder'
At least Hunter's dumb ass ness didnt involve running into stationary objects
If Rondo rides into the back of a truck and no one is around to hear it...does it still make a sound?
Nick
i'm sorry... i dont know what came over me... Maybe its the winter blues setting in.... My sincerest apologies to the whole Fantano family. Please respect my privacy as i focus on my family and deal with my indiscretions.
WHAT?
Okay tiger!
It's Tuesday.... Where the #@$% is the Sunday write up?!?!
Go check out Rondo's photo again on Pez Cycling. Isnt he a good looking guy?
I just saw the picture on PEZ. Classic!!
Summer =
Writeup is about Hunter
Winter=
Writeup is about Rondo.
Now does everyone understand?
Hunter=Good
Rondo=Evil
Hunter=Hot
Rondo=Cold
I hope Santa brings me a S.G. Ride tee shirt
We need more S.G. ride rivalries.
The Crowle \ Rondo fat fight has gotten a little lame and I'm starting to think the 2 of them respect \ like each other.
Like Possibly/Repect NEVER
I propose you change the name of this blog to "Rondo's Musings"! There is no rage here anymore!
What's the matter,,Don't you like the softer side of ROndo?
I think Rondo may have been visited by the ghosts of Christmas past and future. Crowell is his Tiny Tim.
Nick
Hunter, if you have any balls, ?? , would you pleast start a sunday blog? Seems like the burden is too great for the former Rondo's Rage!!
Typing (& spelling) is tough for Rondo. It was only a matter of time before he snapped.
