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

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!

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!

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
