Can you explain a few things to me as, genuinely I don't see the need for anyone to be putting a bio of themselves online for simply being a member of a cycling club, let alone the weird personal backstory?
I mean, unless you've made Obree levels of achievement on the bike, why do you think people are remotely interested? From an outside perspective it's all a bit David Brent in terms of soup of malignant narcissism it celebrates, doused with a nice splash of consumerism just to make it thoroughly repulsive to people that might look at your club and consider joining and just like quietly riding their bikes for fun without needing to get all Mr Worldwide about it.
If that weren't bad enough, USPS Trek screams Lance fanboy... Recoil in horror, do not pass go, do not collect style dividend or fuzzy reflected glow from worshipping someone with a modicum of moral or sporting decency. Surely, if you're going to present yourself to the world as some kind of one-man-brand you'd want to be a bit more circumspect about lauding a known cheat, especially when working in financial services?
Anyway. Glad it makes you happy and gets you out on the bike regardless but personally I'd rather drop anvils on my toes than join up.
