Yep.  This is Timbeaux….again.  I set up this website for the team.  I gave everyone a login name and password to write posts.  And I am still the only one who is writing.  Everyone hold out your hand…..SLAP!

The problem is that when something strikes me, either physically or figuratively, I usually write about it on my Timbeaux blog.  Most of the mayhem and destruction that swirls around my training and racing is over there.  So what am I going to put over here: stories of bunnies and flowers?  Not my style.  I am hoping that the rest of the team steps it up and gets things rolling over here.

And today is the perfect opportunity.  As I write, Paul, Marci and family are riding the Baton Rouge Bike Club Fall Century in St. Francisville.  Now Christine and I were supposed to ride, but we bailed because of the predicted rain and thunderstorms.  It is actually raining as I sit here.  And because we bailed, I have already been called names by not only Marci, but their two sons as well!

So Paul & Marci, here is your chance.  You can write a race report without me being able to say one thing about it (except good things).  There will be no post race after smack coming your way.  Feel free to express yourself in anyway you like.

By the way, while you are dodging lightning bolts in the rain, I am going to sit on my back porch and drink some coffee.  I hope you had a great ride!
