names:

So I was wondering if any bike-racing cat owners out there have named
their cat "Five", "Four", "Three", "Two", or "One"?

Don't be stupid: cat-owning bike racers all aspire to be pros, so they
name their cats things like "Jittery Joe's" and "Cyclocrossworld.com"

I've always preferred "little cat E", alas.

I never actually named my cat, that is, I didn't feel it made sense to
call it by name. However, I would refer to it as C_0, since I
inherited it with the house.

Hey Jim I'm not sure what to say about that bit, but as my daughter
would say "That's really disturbing." Kinda like sitting next to
Peewee Herman in a dark theater.

That's the way I've always felt when I've been in Canada.

You should try the Maritimes if you ever have the chance. Lots of
great people. We used to go up pretty regularly for a motorcycle
rally. My wife's family is part Canadian, and still have connections
up there. her father is actually trying to buy the family farmhouse
back at some point. Beautiful country, good people, music, and lots of
fun.
Haven't been up in a while, maybe we'll make it this summer. A ton
of the roads we ride the motorcycles on would be fantastic for cycling
too. Have to take the bicycles next time too.
