Stonehaven Race Report - BOdaddy style!!!

Image
BOdaddy Edition:- Good Morning fellow Bo-members (ed. note: what is f@@king good about this weather?) . Not sure what part I did not understand (ed. note: you must lern.) on the “change to the plan” but I am still waiting for team BO to pitch for yesterday’s race (ed. note: BOic pitched.) . Is this the impact Bobbie and the Craptain have on the team with the “no pitch” (ed. note: crap is beyond rules, BObbie claiming niece rule.) ? Dedication and commitment must go to BOpunda  (ed. note: BOpunda has nothing to do either than drink home brewed ales.) . After calling me at 05:00 to confirm if the race is on, he fell asleep again (ed. note: don't drink and ride.) just to realize that I send him an sms informing him that I am leaving at 06:15. He called again at 06:50 to confirm if I already left, to which I replied bo-pa. He jumped out of bed with a major babalaas and rushed off to the Vaal, got lost and pitched late (ed. note: he pitched in the car?!) . Mates of mine helped him

BO-PA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dedication!!!

Have you ever just slowed down for a moment off your bike, let the adrenaline out off the system, breath and calm yourselves and take a step back to think about this. “To what end would you go, to ride your bike?” Crap smoked like a chimney and drank like a fish, every ride he took was physically painful for him. BOic would drive 74km for a ride. BOnold would give up Paleo. BOdope would give up little blue pills. Katy would not put on make-ups. BOrabia would give up sex. BObbie would, er… uhm… eh… never mind. And BOtall did 7 guys, put in 214 hours, damaged her heart muscles just for 1 ride. Is it really necessary? Especially when there are no races this year, amidst a break from a grueling season, after one of the biggest races in the year, holiday season almost upon us, is it really necessary to wake up at 04h00 in the morning to sub a 40? BOLani did step back, he did relax, he calmed himself, AND HE ACTUALLY TEAR DOWN HIS GARAGE TO GET TO HIS DOGGY SO HE CAN RIDE THIS MOR

The Challenge - Sub 40!

Image
For any professional cyclist to succeed, sacrifices have to be made. The dull and arduous long hours, the intolerable pains of the interval sessions, the heart pounding tempo and the vomits of hill sprints. And to survive all this, your mind and your will are borderline idiocy. But this isn’t the end of it. It’s the consistency and the repetition of all these pains over and over that makes you different. And each and every BO here has such a will. And we challenge and motivate each other and ourselves. Band of sisters we are. For the Crap it’s the challenge of another “Label”. For BOlani it’s the challenge of another “Super Bike”. For BOic it’s the challenge of another “Choke”. For BObbie it’s the challenge of another “Donut”. For BOrabia it’s the challenge of another “Misconduct”. For BOnold it’s the challenge of another “Paid Philippino”. For BOdope it’s the challenge of another “Little blue pill”. For BOtall it’s the challenge of another “7 on 1”. For Katy it’s the challen

The Event - BOlani's Celebration!

Image
For BOlani’s birthday, the Crap and the team decided on a chain of events to celebrate Saturday, the 4 th of December (actually BOlani arranged everything, but what the heck). It started with BObbie BO’ing the Saturday morning ride, citing a basketball game of which his team is playing. Needless to say, his team got wiped out. No matter, BOrabia, BOnold & BOdope took zie Lani out and slaughtered him in the hills. Apparently it’s a Swazi tradition. But BObbie isn’t the only thing that went wrong. BOtall who was hospitalized from too much riding (7 on 1), too much blue pills (7 on 1) just couldn’t leave the cute Physio and faked heart muscle thingy (too big a word for BObbie) and wasn’t released from Olivedale Clinic in time for the Events. She was punished to spend the night alone with hospital jelly. BOic who has had a history with "minors" continued to have problems with "minors" and could not attend. BObbie who couldn’t afford a full night had to leave t

The Legend of the Mountain God

Image
As with any sport, there always have been secrets, dark corners with untold mysteries. They are always hidden away from the unknowing public, clouded with legends and told only to those who are unfortunate to call themselves the BO. If you think Cuntador’s steak, Landis’ fabrications and Lance’s blood is what ultimately defines them, BO members are defined and baptized (thunder strikes) by the legend of The Mountain God. The Crap still shakes thinking about it. BOlani’s puppy hide its tails and refused to go. BOaan was not seen again. BOwhale’s bones are still broken. BObbie who was brave enough to curse at the God still drools from the smack he got. And Boic, the Italian Stallion, the Flying Roman, the Black Sabbath, the Machine, the Mountain Goat has never, ever, used his big chainring. Such is the legend that even men like BOtall & Katy in this exclusive society dare not brave the legend and still have not. For the newbies like BOrabia, BOnold, BOdope, and BOthemba,

Training Report - SAS Edition

Image
At 05h49 BObbie has a decision to make, probably the most important one he has yet to make in his distinguished cycling career. His teammates are beginning to gather at the LZ. So far the reports is that they will all be on time. His captain though, will not make it, he did not survive the hard ambush at 94. Neither will the Italian. He survived the battle at 94, but he was severely wounded and choked in his own puke. It’s now 5h52, he can’t delay this any longer. BObbie quickly coded his messages so the enemies even intercepting the SMS will need sometime to decode it. That may be the window he needed to arrive at the LZ safely. The SMS successfully arrived at the acting captain’s black box. It simply reads “I need another 30”. * * * * * BOlani looked at the message and knew his teammate is in trouble. Not sure what, but he has a bad feeling this is going to be a Bad One. But they must wait. Back in training days, they were told of one rule and one rule only, “never leave your man

The 115

Image
There are always challenges in life, you face them all the time. For Team BO, each and everyone of us continuously entangles in this battle. For the Crap to put down his mutinies, for BOlani to not claim another insurance, for BOic not to choke, for BObbie not to eat, for BOlabia not to harass, for BOnold not to long distance dialing the Far East, for BOtall not to add another 8kg, for Katy not to wear white, for BOdope not to deal and the list goes on & on, we live through them and we are better because of it. So BOic & BObbie stood up like men and forces themselves to another new challenge, the infamous 115. It was a simple challenge, you leave from BObbie’s down HP, up Krugers and back on Ontdekkers and you have to do it under 1h15m. To beat it, even the robot has to be in perfect sync. Alas, BOic & BObbie has only ever clocked a 1h15:14. Boic insists it’s BObbie’s weight, BObbie insists it’s BOic’s bottles. Regardless, the two clowns can’t get it done. The only possi

Team BO 94 Choke Report

On the morning of a race that the cycling legend Mr. Phil Liggett himself attends, a hairy laggard in his full race kit crouching slightly was shouting to a short and pudgy men in his tights. The face of these two expresses nothing but determination, fire and will. The shorter of the two extended his arms and grabbed the other by his shoulders, shook him and shouted at him “we slay the dragon today!!!”. Although the taller man had a hint of doubt, he extended two of his fingers and pounded his chest, ready for war. He then extended his arms sky ward as if he was signal to the world that from today, he shall no longer be known as the choker. Today, he slay the dragon. Then he saw a sign from heaven above. A black object flying straight at him, grew bigger as it closes in and smacks him right in the face. “Shut the faak up you two gay muthafaakas! Some of us are trying to sleep!!!”. Thus begins the journey of BOic and BObbie for the 94 Momentum Cycle Challenge. The two clowns arrive

BOlani's Plea!!!

To whom it may concern I had entered and paid for the 94.7 cycle challenge 2010 and despite my long term support of your event I was still given a disgusting seeding into group “L”.  None the less I patiently wasted further time and money t o have myself reseeded at your expo for a further R 150 and was then given the 1 st  class service which I should have been offered in the first place and granted access to any starting time I wanted. To make matters worse I fell ill on the eve of the 94.7 cycle challenge 2010 and had to surrender my Entry and as such had ensured my participation in your prestigious event by way of putting my Chip into my mates back pocket. I regret to inform you that neither my starting time nor finishing time was logged and considering your charged R 265 for the entry and a further R 150 for the substitution I have to ask…… What the FAAAK is wrong with your timing equipment?!!!
