I’d rather do the $100 Margarita from Ventana. You are an excellent T-shirt model, though, Thor.
T-Shirts, eh? Interesting.
shen, really? what can we do to entice you? there is a very yummy lunch thanks to the folks at Harvest Moon Catering . . . AND you will also get a pretty blue Cycling Challenge t-shirt – in addition to the awesome scowly one – AND a nice metal water bottle . . . does any of that help? not to mention the feel-good aspect of helping the kids in our community, of course – that’s priceless!!
Thanks for the invite Beth. I have no bicycle nor 100 extra bucks though. But I hope you guys raise tons for the kids.
ah. got it. but if you’d like to come check it out anyway – we’d love to see ya . . . there will be stationary bikes on the porch at Old Trail and a FREE spin class will be led by one very hot instructor at about 11am – you can eat the yummy lunch after!
oh and i should mention volunteering – we have lots of opportunities for folks to take part as helpers next sunday – and helping gets you the t-shirt and water bottle, lunch, feel-good effect, etc . . . if anyone is interested, please give me a shout at 971-6944!!
Tempting. I wanna see Kyle in his cycling spandex.
I confirm that I will be in spandex.
Everybody go check out Kyle’s ass! I mean support the kids!
This is clearly a hoax;
Kyle, gentleman of business and purveyor of high culture, a man of the old stamp, prosperous and overbrimming with the dignity of his success and the solemnity of his status, a role model to youth and an inspiration to all who gaze upon him, would never submit to being got-up in neoprene with his arse in the air.
Kyle has a haircut, wears suspenders, and smokes the same cigars as Arnold Schwarzeneggar and the late-great James Pierpoint Morgan; he is not some spandex pantywaist and cyclisto-eyesore.
/Shame on you for the uncharity of not understanding @8 as pure canard.
otter . . . spandex = pantywaist? cyclist = eyesore?

hometown hero will frischkorn proves you wrong!
@11
while not denying that women enjoy spandex on men, i assert that this is like-calling-to-like in the worst most unexamined ways, much like some women are alleged to enjoy long-hair (cf HM) on ‘men’. I do however stand firm in my defense of Kyle, who would never wear the stuff un-ironically if at all, much as you’d never catch him in a crinoline hoop-skirt with false-eyelashes on the stage at 216.
the attraction to bicyclists is part of what Cosmo-Magazine is selling you as the new non-threatening effeminate male. This is neither good socially-culturally for men or for the liberated woman. Bicycling is not a sport, it is a sissy hobby. It is about as factually athletic as ping-pong (table-tennis). At least one woman I very much admire fell prey to this unfortunate trend, but in her cleverness ultimately realized the error of her judgment/ways and was able to extricate herself.
It’s like a few years ago when John Kerry (Senator? Candidate? Loser?) was seeking to pretend to be French. Women flocked to him as though he were the second-coming of JFK (womanizing drug-addict… but at least a genuine war-hero and masculine fellow in the aristocratic stamp). Competitive-bicycling is French.
Silly otter. Please tell us – what is your definition of a “sport”, only American stuff? Just because the biggest cycling event in the world takes place in France, does not make competitive-bicycling solely a French sport!
Riding 100, or even just 31 miles sure seems like sport to me . . . and for the kids on the Boys & Girls Club Challenger team, it certainly is! Some of these young people never rode a bike before, and now are looking to complete the longer distances we offer at the ride! Their participation in the Challenge program (practicing four times per week and meeting serious professional athletes like Will F) – has expanded their horizons; we’ve had kids who say they now understand “there are more sports out there then just football and basketball!” How cool to have a sport like cycling keeping our kids fit and healthy.
Seriously, please tell me, otter – what sports do you participate in/bless?
I love what you-all are doing for the kids—no question, and support any initiative at all that gets them off the XBOX for a while, and out breathing air. it’s good for them to bicycle, and certainly less meat-headed than football, though not perhaps as classic an endeavor but in the same vein as cross-country running.
my critique was pure snark, and directed at adults, at spandex, and in defense of Kyle from whom someone extracted the mocking admission that he would envelop himself in form-fit polyesther.
however, of bicycling. i believe Le Mans is a sports-contest, as I suppose NASCAR is and Tour De France, if only in the popular sense of them airing on ESPN. So you have popular-imagination on your side—excellence in the conducting of a tool designed for transportation is sporting—they’ll have competitive SEGWAY contests and BUS-DRIVING Rallies next. But the effeminacy of spandex-wearing, and of leg-shaving (i know, i know—swimmers do also), and its popularity with the French as an element of national identity makes it dubious as an American SPORT. Same, I doubt weight-lifting/body-building is a sport, strictly speaking.
You’re doing good work—ignore my joshing.
my spinning teacher is superhot in his spandex. however, most people are probably not.
most spinning-teachers are probably not men,
and those who are men are probably not heterosexual—
so the point is sorta moot–ya know? do the math.
@16 mine is both. but for my purposes, it doesn’t really matter whether he’s straight or not, does it?
@17
no doubt in a limnal phase veering his stationary-bike towards the contrary,
as he’s already surrendered the testicularity that the one implies and the dignity other demands.
for your purposes, yes, vaccuum-sealed meat in cellophane is vaccuum-sealed meat in cellophane.
@18 lack of testicularity seems to be desirable in a partner
@19
hunh? for the heterosexual male, lack of testicles in one’s partner, is, yes, requisite.
i can’t speak to the issue from the female side but can assume they’d be handy (sic) in a male partner for certain purposes (though a drawback in the conception-avoidance thingee)?
But back to biking–perhaps the a-testicled biker has an structural advantage, given bike-seat design and sensitivity of those particular appendages. In any case, studies have demonstrated that prolonged biking, as prolonged professional-biking steroid-use, eventually renders them either miniscule or ineffectual.
/lack of testic-ULARITY in a male partner of course is only desirable in a male partner for the female if the female wishes that partner to be Quentin Crisp, Alan Alda, or one of the hilarious and lavishly wealthy good-fellas on Queer-Eye.
But back to biking–perhaps the a-testicled biker has an structural advantage
Why do you think Lance Armstrong always wins?
testicles are moot, as my enjoyment of said spinning instructor is strictly visual.
however, due to the spandex, i believe i can TELL that he has them!
What is a “spinning instructor” exactly?
@21: From doping is what I’ve heard from certain local ex-cyclists.
@23 . . . i think the instructor kind of guides you during the spin class on your stationary bike “ride” – providing encouragement and whatnot . . . orchid, can you elaborate?
@24 . . . really? that is such a bummer to hear!!
@25: We should ask him (the local ex-cyclist- not LA) to come do the challenge.
@21
I shy-ed away from mentioning Lance, as a ’survivor’, etc., even if the initial problem may have been in part caused by ‘doping’, as Shen says and I in part believe—a lot of pro-weightlifters developed horrible cancers from steriod use.
@22
anatomical wholeness not more appealing than the contrary?
@23
never seen Romy And Michelle’s High School Re-Union?
@Post
this has taken an ugly turn.
shen – would you mind mentioning our ride to your ex-cylclist pal? that would be GREAT! thanks- b
Done.
BIG THANKS to all the folks who supported the ride yesterday – the scowly t-shirts were awesome to see and we really appreciate the kindness shown to the club by the villain community!! all best – b
@30
i suppose the big queston at the forefront of every right-thinking person’s mind is:
DID KYLE WEAR SPANDEX?
