Ah, February 14 is here again. A very special day for all of us. A day you don’t want to forget. A day when you make that extra effort to show the one you love just how much they mean to you. V Day.
On this day, I will rise early, tiptoeing out of bed so as not to make any noise and stir the sleeping. I will dress quickly and quietly, leaving the shoes until the last moment to avoid any heavy footed clomping. Making my way to the kitchen, I’ll prepare snacks and drinks, to be enjoyed during the adventure I have carefully planned for the day. The excitement builds within me as I think about what lays ahead.
When I see her there before me, waiting, my heart rate increases, and continues to rise as I make first contact with her. I whisper seductively “Are you ready? I’m gonna ride you hard today.” I reach for the lube and the pump.
I love her deeply. But she alone is never enough. I need more, to keep the flames of my infatuation burning bright. Yet I never feel unfaithful, I just have more love to give than one can handle. The others don’t mind, they never complain, and are always happy to let me ride them too. They are the best, most loyal friends a man can have.
This V Day, do something special for your loved one(s). Bathe them. Buy them a gift (maybe something in rubber, or a nice bottle of something). But most importantly, take them out, spend the whole day together, share some beautiful views… and make it a V Day to remember.

Indeed. The last nine years, the VMH and I have rejected Valentines Day on account of giving priority to mounring Pantani's death.
Sadly, each passing year gives more context to how betrayed he was by the world he was a part of.
A few years back we did a bit on this for this day. How time flies; I remember writing this like it was yesterday.

This will be my first single Valentines Day in 6 years, so the bike will get all the attention it deserves.
LBS mechanic catalog -- true love.

This. Fuck yeah; this.
All true Velominati pronounce Marco's last name properly: pa-tan-EE; never with the emphasis on the tan.
Im wondering whether a text to the wife whilst at work will suffice this year ..... Im thinking not .
She made the comment about not needing anything for V day this year, which, in "womens speak" means she wants something!
Its hard work.
I guess it isn't enough that I bought her a Super Record gruppo a few months ago and new tires not long before that. I love her but the constant demands for upgrades can sometime take its toll on our relationship. Why can't she be happy with what she has like her brother the town bike? The V Cuffs would have been perfect but she already has a black set.... I could spend the day at my LBS looking for that perfect something but I think what she really wants is to go for a nice ride.
Warm weather tomorrow, so I'm skipping a class to get a solid 6 hours of riding in tomorrow. Totally stoked, bike is finally getting a good cleaning after all the shitty weather.

Che cosa stai parlando?

"We were foaming at the mouth at the thought of Ullrich and Pantani shelling Pharmstrong out the back as they partied like it was 1998." Good one. Really good piece.
I just saw this card online. I need to find a guy who would send something like this!
