guest post: Joe wins again!

rockin' the race shirt. Go, Joe!One great thing about competitive cycling -- one of the many, many great things about competitive cycling -- is the t-shirt, like the one pictured at left.  You're looking at the photo and thinking, what?  What's so special about a gray t-shirt with pink letters?  And here it is: there're only five of that particular shirt.  Only five.

In running races every participant gets a shirt.  Hell, you don't even need to show up -- just pay the registration fee and you still get the shirt, so you can rock the "I was there" later on when running down a street or trail.  But in competitive cycling, only winners get the shirt.  It doesn't just mean you were there: it means you were there, you kicked ass, you crossed the line in first place.

The shirt, therefore, means something.

It means, Yeah, that's right: I won.  It means, for Joe, that's right, I won Regalado 2012, Masters 1-2-3.

That's so much specialer than I was there, right?
