Dear Brian Trdina,
Dear Brian Trdina,
I apologize that you have taken offense at this blogger and that you are confused that this is a parody of you. I am parodying a guy with a name similiar to you Brian Trdina (maybe you are related) that is a general sociopath, he (ironically I guess) is a big advocate of the Constitution and its Amendments, specifically the First and Fourth Amendments.
I am sure that if you knew this other Trdina, you would understand.
Thanks,
Andrew Albright

as a matter of fact the only time i've hit the pavement in the last 5 years happened while riding with Brian, just Brian, nobody else. that was also the only time i've ever cracked a helmet. basically he didn't call out a turn. perhaps i should have asked which way we were going, so i can accept partial blame for finding myself sprawled across the middle of a busy road. still, it is interesting that with all the racing i've done, outside of some cat 4/5 clutzs, he is the only person who has managed to take me out.
personally i find that it is not his bike handling skills that place those riding with him in harm's way but in fact it is his stunted communication skills. he is perhaps the worst listener i've ever had the pleasure of being talked-at by.
simply calling out right or left for an approaching turn to Trdina is an invitation for disaster. turn directions need to be repeated at least three times and and should be accompanied by numerous exagerated hand and body gestures.

I like the time that Trdina tried mountain biking but hit some ice
going
over a bridge and dislocated his shoulder so badly that he can no
longer
take a t-shirt off without popping it out of socket and writhing around
in horrible pain.

Please post your favorite story of Trdina crashing.
My first memory was when he crashed his own teammate (Mike Miller) out of the Tuckahoe race down in Maryland. Miller, a former race winner at Tuckahoe, had the misfortune of riding too closely to Trdina when Trdina decided to take an asphalt nap. Ooops.
I had not formally met Trdina; however, his crashing prowess was already legendary.
This one is still my favorite.
