Sitting at 30,000 feet over some fly over state wishing I had some great write up by the likes of NoCar or PC. I'm sure there will be chicken bake tonight so I'm out.
Zero!
The Hobo ride started at 8pm, on account of the schedules of those who couldn't make it. Undeterred, XT and I rode through hip high weeds until I smashed into a hidden log and damaged my new wheel. Just as we got the Niner ride worthy, we met Cap who had ridden from Fair Oaks. We sipped hand beers as while rolling the Old Lincoln Highway. Cap nearly smashed his carbon frame when he misnavigated a hard rut. Back at the Shingle Springs Market, XT decided only a full 12 pack would suffice. He wanted to leave an offering for the Hobos. I made it home just before 3am.
Last Tuesday saw the introduction of a new member. Qualification wasn't a question as the rider had already crushed FT3 at the TS 100. The hard year. Sporting a rear view mirror on his helmet, he was handled Rear View, as soon as the ride started. Soon enough we realized that he wore the mirror to keep an eye on the pack, as he effortlessly broke away on the climbs and descents. As comfortable at the Taco Table as he is on the trails, he proved his uncompromising hardness when he announced his plans to sleep at B's house.

DeleteThanks NoCar, i enjoyed the read, memorable quotes "the hard one" and "sleep at Bs' house" - that has many possible meanings and indications.
ReplyDeleteIn. Confused by nohandle's chiming in without counting off, but, Three?
ReplyDeleteI initiated the post and signed it Zero, NoCar was smart enough to leave it in. I'm out tonight.
DeleteThe VeloLoCo founder, Spencer, aka SoreLegs has passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was the glue that brought together the original Team 1 members, and should be attributed to the ultimate founding of FT3. Lars, Green Fro, NoHandle, Bambi and I all met through Velo LoCo. He should be honored this evening. Wear your VeloLoCo if you have one and pour some out for a homie, even if you didn't know him. If you participate in FT3, you are a beneficiary of his connections. Viva Sore Legs
ReplyDeleteThx Cappy
DeleteA toast to Spencer from the warm waters of the pacific.
