seriously, you're killing me with the hand bike. Regardless of Hansel thinking it's cool, you should save it for cardio-rehab patients. Remember way back when they allowed ski ballet as a demonstration sport in the Olympics? The hand bike is the ski ballet of blasting. I emplore you to stop.

Ah don't listen to DT Donato. He's just teasing you, remember this is the guy who got blasted on his bike by Hammer on his commuter;)

How's this for an arm blast?

Actually I was going to make a comment that Mr Donato is more then welcome to pipe up once his real race career starts again, but while he's getting beaten on a bike by a retired orienteerer with a bum knee he might want to watch his comments. However, then I realized that I still need to borrow his wetsuit for MIX so I'd decided I'd better watch what I say.

Make sure he doesn't mix up the wetsuit with his latex body suit;)

Funny. Anyhow, I'm not sure which real racing career you're referring to, but you and I will be going head to head at Boler Mountain on the first week in July, so you'd better sharpen your duelling knives...

Man, I totally need to get one of those varna bikes, or maybe two. The big wheel looks rad, and so does the speed machine. Imagine how big my pipes will be from a season of riding those things.

Too bad they only hand them out to rehab patients...
