I woke up this morning and turned on the tv and learned that Ricardo Ricco was ejected from the Tour and arrested for using a third generation version of EPO. I was surprised but my wife wasn't. She hates Ricco. All through stage 9, the last one that Ricco won, I had to listen to my normally sweet wife's comments about Ricco's scrawny little girl body, his lack of lips, and the fact that she could never respect a man that she could beat up. She then went on to describe the beating that he would receive if she ever met him. I think all this hatred comes from interviews she has read where Ricco does nothing but whine and complain while boasting about his amazing cycling abilities. After reading other riders comments its apparent that my wife isn't the only person that doesn't care for this guy.
I started this blog a couple of years ago when I used to print and sell t shirts with bike related designs. The name of my blog was the name of my business, Rat Trap Press. Rat Trap, referred to the old style road pedals, and Press of course referred to my screen printing press. Due to some sudden unexpected expenses I had to sell my screen printing equipment. I decided to stick with the name, RTP, and continue writing about my relaxed paced adventures around Fort Worth, Texas. Please take some time to say hello.
