Interview with Rey Cordova:

BORG: Your nickname is "Fatty" ? Funny.. you don't look fat

REY CORDOVA: Looks are deceiving...

BORG: Very deceiving I guess...

RC: I think I got the nickname cause I always am talking about food.. how much food I will eat after the ride.. plus twinkies are my favorite on trail snack. My Favorite saying is "RIDE TO EAT - EAT TO RIDE"

BORG: TWINKIES? Are you serious?

RC: as a heartattack..

BORG: a heartattack is exactly what you'll have when I tell you my bro-n-law's twinkie story! It's grosser than gross.

RC: no matter .... I'll still eat them... I even eat them when they get smashed in my Camelbak

BORG: you ever made a twinkie hotdog like Weird Al did in the movie UHF?

RC: no... but that sounds awesome!

BORG: Ok... I'll be sure Travis has a few of those at the camp come Race day for the 24 hour BORG TEAM.

RC: excellent..

BORG: speaking of racing.... I heard you finished 13th up in phx at the pemberton revenge.

RC: yep..... would have done better too... but I cramped up right in the last mile... I was hanging with the guys that finished 7th and 8th.

BORG: should eat more banana's like Ray Weigand.. you might not cramp as much as you do eating those dang twinkies!

RC: i'll keep that in mind

BORG: I bet that was embarrassing ... cramping up just before the end of that race.... what has been your most embarrassing moment with BORG CYCLING?

RC: my first time riding with Dave Swift (PD) I tried to jump a twig in the trail and ended up on my back.

BORG: a twig?

RC: yeah... I know... it was stupid... that's why it was funny

BORG: I guess you had to be there...

RC: maybe so

BORG: Contestant #3... what's your hearts desire for the world today? (and you can't answer "World Peace" - that's cheesey) ... oh wait - that's the wrong questionaire... that was for last week's Miss USA pagent... how'd that get in there!

RC: I was going to say... huuuhh!

BORG: so sorry... at anyrate.. we hear your are a speed demon too... says here you been pulled over about 5,237 times by the police.... mostly for speeding. Is that why you are leading off the first lap and the 400 yard run in the 24 hour event?

RC: I don't know about that... I think I am leading it off cause I volunteered to Travis to do the first lap.. he said it was all mine!

BORG: that works... Good luck in the 24 hour event and the rest of the year in your other racing adventures..... FATTY!

RC: thanks.... I think!
