Rogers is an entertaining storyteller
Editor:
Kudos to Neal Rogers and his latest "Neighborhood" piece. That he has earned the trust and respect of professional riders is apparent, as is his innate ability to tell a story, share an experience, and entertain the cycling reader/websurfer. He deserves extra PowerBars or something good like that.

So’s O’Grady (but who's that reading over your shoulder?)
Editor:
Wow, I really love Patrick O'Grady's writing. There, I said it. Now I'm probably on some sort of government list or something.

Dude, like, chill, brah
Editor:
I'd be the first to step forward and be willing to remove "happy camper" from my colorful vocabulary along with Andrew Hood if Patrick McEnaney (see Wednesday’s Mailbag: "Happy campers in tall cotton") could work on his fellow Californians on getting rid of "like.":

"John Lelangue is like, a totally stoked dude with, like, a totally awesome chance to, like, you know, run the Phonak team. Something like, a year ago, this guy was like a former Tour de France official and he, like, took over the whole Phonak thingy...."
