Women's Cycling Afterword



'Nuff said, I'm complete
But I have to admit
on the distaff side
I've been out of it
Marianne Vos
showed how women compete
exactly like men
Watching her was a treat
Thanks for the nudge
and case in point, Carol
My thoughts must expand
from  gender view narrow
So looking ahead to 2013
I'll pay more attention 
to woman's cycling
Happy Sunday to you
Hope you're in the saddle
Or basking in Philippe's 
winning  battle

Words of Wisdom





Leonard Cohen says much more eloquently than I can:  

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in 

Ganesh as OM!!






                        GANESH AS  OM

Happy Birthday, Ganesh!




It's Ganesha's Birthday
Tantra's Lord
Time to go 
overboard
Sleep in
Drink gin
Disport with low women
Anything to shock the 
system
For on the wild side 
we will know him
Happy Birthday Lord Ganesh
To love you always is my wish!!!

Elite Men's Time Trial 9/19/12


Hooray for Tony Martin
who defended the Elite TT
He showed both skill and class
The mann from Germany
Ditto a man named Taylor
Phinney from the states
At 5:37 back it's Silver
that he takes
Way to go!,
you stellar cyclists
The world congratulates

VUELTA a ESPANA 2012


Vuelta Stage 21
Degenkolb sprints to win 5 stages
Valverde wins points
Sorry, Perito, I know that disappoints
Vuelta 2012 is for the ages
Alberto the crowd anoints
With seven fingers in the air
His count is what he thinks is fair
A race confounding cycling sages
Experts who self-appoint
Graham Jones picked Rodriguez
As did his buddy Sean
Even these total pros can 'times
be proven wrong
Everyone agrees
This race was the bees knees
Looking for more fun this year
Vuelta 2012 leaves much to cheer!
