Robyn and I went to NYC yesterday to Columbia Medical Center to see a specialist. This is THE GUY to do the stint. End game we would hope for him to say it's no problem I can do this its a slam dunk. I stay there and it gets done right away. Well my droogies that just didn't happen. That was a swift kick in the balls to say the least. Three hours stuck in traffic and 1 minute into the consult we hear this. Dr Meyer believes that it is a dissection of the M1 artery. What does that mean well from what I understand its like a blister on your finger and when it pops that flap of skin would be the dissection. In turn the flap flutters around and cuts off the blood flow. We were given three reasons that a stint was not the way to go. 1)Its really never been done before. Although dissections of artery's in the brain aren't unheard of they are very rear. 2) There is no data on how long the stint would last, they are usually put in 80year old people and me being so young the build up of scar tissue could close off the artery completely. 3) He just doesn't know how the artery would react in the condition its in. It might just sever and that would be that. He says that we should treat it with medicine and hope that it heals on its own and hope that I don't have a big stroke in the mean time. Our game plan from here is unknown, I guess I start cumidin and ween off the shots and wait and see if the thing heals. I want to back up here a little right now. The shit that went down on the SPG blog yesterday was wild. I didn't see it but may WIFE did while she was sitting in a doctors office waiting to hear my fate. Lets go on the record here they did all the blood work in the world to me in the Hospital last week and if you don't think they checked for any and all sport enhancing drugs you are fools. If I can get the files I will and post my blood work. It doesn't bother me but Robyn didn't need to see that. Say what you want about me but I challenge you to come up with a bad word about her. If you are going to point fingers the at least have the balls to post you name. If you do have a set, post it on this blog and then come and say it to my face. As for E I know that that motherfucker has been riding his balls off all winter long, doing the work that would put him where he is. He is also riding smarter, you can have the best trainer in the world but if you don't know how to race you will be pack fill. Until last week he had a TEAM (not a bunch of guys riding in the same clothes) riding for him. Any results that E got the team got. In the end I say post what you want but have the balls to post your name.

Anyone who pisses off Robyn should be whipped with a brake cable. She rocks!
Robyn is so hot!
I'd like to go on record as Eric's girlfriend to say that I, more than anyone, know he does not take ANY performance enhancing drugs. He is the most honest, dedicated, hard working man I know. As far as Ron, unless you count pizza as a performance enhancer, then he too works his balls off. Ron and Robyn are two of the most candid people I know and deserve only love right now! Sooooooo back off or come deal with me :) I'm a tough lil one!!!
Xoxo

Gary Fisher will be in town and at ZANE'S CYCLES this weekend. Here is your chance to ride with a legend. There will be a Road ride that leaves Zane's at 8:30 am on Saturday, and a MTB ride on Sunday. Don't miss out on a great opportunity. For more info contact Zane's
Hey Rondo: We continue to hope for the best and a speedy recovery and return. I agree with the anonymous bullshit. That is why I sign my name to everything I write. People, have the balls to sign your name! If you don't, you should find somewhere else to take cheap shots at people. Especially at Ron and Robyn. These two people and others like Mike McG. will give you their shirt off their backs if needed. I have been pushed and pulled up hills by these people when I thought I had nothing left. They are also the first people to stop when I or anyone has a mechanical!
So Have Some Balls!

What's with all the damn crying. Everyone loves Robyn! I haven't read a damn bad thing on here but admiration for her... especially for the fact that she loves her husband. So just stop all the sissy ass whinning.
Dickhead I'm talking about saying shit to upset her.
Brit, you are a cool girl and you make a lot of guys jealous of Eric but truth be told, Eric's rise, at 36, is a little on the unlikely side. Not impossible, but to lap the field twice at bethel, built like Eric is built, and with his race history, is eyebrow raising. That's all. Haters gonna hate, but if he was doing it unassisted, the jokes about doping and steaks should be taken as compliments. All this defensive shit just gets those eyebrows raised more.
Yea, what's up with trying to throw the chatter under-the-bus?!?! There's never been anything sarcastic written about anyone except for the pie-hole fellas who believe they're badasses. We all know they're nothing but king-shits-of-turd-island. Would be nice to have a cushy life to ride a stupid number of miles. But then again most would find other fun shit to do. There's a great big world out there to explore.
Indeed... lots of eyebrows raised! We all know bullshit when we see it.
You miss the point say what you want BUT POST YOUR NAME.
maybe eric learned how to race from guys that have Won a few
Sorry to call Brit out here, but Eric confided in me that he is taking male enhancement pills which increase blood flow. So yes, he is a dopper . . .
Honestly, anon, where you in that race? Cause if you were you'd understand more about what happened and why. Don't begrudge a guy for getting results.

Rondo why would I want to ride with Gary Fisher, i trained with a legend for tweo years! (you) And yes all you mother fuckers who seem to be on here spoutin off, grow some balls and sign your name to it, then maybe we can chat in person some day you fucking cowards! I of all people know how Rondo trains like no one else, he dragged me around on his wheel for two years through rain, sleet, snow and anything else you can think of! Now that I got that out there, Here is a link I found for you Rondo maybe we can all chip in and get it for you!

Trussssssst me when I say Eric has never had a problem there Ben! Haha.
Britt
Rondo, sucks that you can't do something to put an immediate end to the medical problems that you've been having. Sounds like you went to the guy who knows best. Hopefully, it just passes on it's own.
I'm happy to see Eric doing well, even though they are training races. I'm an old guy who also managed to lap the field at Bethel. If I can do it, then certainly Eric or anyone else can too. At our level, significant improvements are possible through smart training and racing. Just saying.... Keep it up Eric!!
Eddie A
Hey Ron, just checked in to see what's new, WTF! I hope you get better quick, looking forward to seeing you at the races soon. Best, Todd B.
If I started lapping the field at Bethel (or anywhere else for that matter), THEN you'd DEFINITELY know it's dope!
Nick
Nick if you made it a lap it would be prof of it.
A long time ago Ron dragged my sorry butt around at Bethel and lapped the field with me. Or rather, I lapped the field with him. I haven't seen the other site/comments/posts but anyone that knows me knows that I'm not a break rider who laps the field. Okay, it was a special race (rain, small field, etc) and some funny stuff happened, but it can happen.

(I didn't include all the swear words but all you that know Ron would know that any conversation with him would include a lot of descriptive effing this and that)
Aki...that's a great story. Plus it sums Rondo up in a nutshell (if that's possible). And I doubt it was too hard for anyone to add in their own f-bombs, since with Ron it would have been every other word.
