Barry Wolfe + angry man at ITT
Posted on May 25, 2008
I heard there was a big crash in the last turn of the race. I am glad I did not go and opted to do a slow easy coffee ride this morning. Crashing right now would for sure put me into cycling retirement 
Also, yesterday at the ITT I had a little incident with a friendly Palmdale resident. I changed between my car doors and did so to make sure that I did not expose myself but I think that this guy saw me and came out yelling at me.
Now I will admit that what I did was not 100% legal but I was in a hurry and had no towel on me. So this guy comes out yelling and cussing me out, cajling me all kinds of names ad usually I do not take that shit, especially from a douche bag like that, but I was on a mission (not well executed mission, but one nonetheless) so I did not say a word to him. I apologized many many times and he replied saying that if I was really sorry i would get my ass out of there.
Well, I was going to, but I had to ride a little bit before, then i would go.
So for the 8 minutes or so that he berated me I was getting so pissed off. This fucking hillbilly, complaining how his daughter had seen me naked and he went on and on on how I was breaking all kinds of laws and that he would call the cops ad that if it wasn’t his day off he would run me down, etc, etc, etc.
I was scared to come back to a burnt car or with a broken windshield or something to that extend. Went to the organizers and just told them what had happened.
Apparently this guy complains every year and every year he has an issue with the riders. When I got back I talked to a different volunteer and he told me that the cops had “hooked” the guy up pretty good. So I am assuming that this is a local asswhipe that tries to start shit with an one.
I will remember this for nest year, so I can actually plan something out.
What I don’t understand is how he could see my angry inch from 100 yards away. If you ask me, he was probably peeping. Oh well.

What happened at Barry Wolfe? Was the crash in the 3′s?
They went wide in the final turn and hugged hay.
Was silly since they had seen that turn for 55 minutes prior…..Senseless crash really.
Luckily, I dropped out of that race after racing earlier in the day (2 months off is not good). Freddie (Team Bearclaw) went down with others in that crash. I heard that he rebroke his collar bone and is going to have surgery.
The crash was at the end of the group. Not cool.
