It is going to take all of my superhero ability to make it out tonight! Fear not my friends, I will indeed find that last phone booth to duck into and come out a new a super strong rider...call me Freehub-guy!
Huge weekend of racing and riding. Folsom cyclebration went off, in what appears to be full swing! B did the Super B thang and rode a really long way. NoCar and spouse rode at least 100 miles. Cap'n fired off the gun and lead the first lap of the Mt. Bike race, really being in front, even for a short time, is still being in front! Way to put the FT3 colors out there...you were wearing FT3 colors? Green Fro added to his CX form and raced some races, can't really remember what? And RG what can we say about the God? Apparently the whole 4-2-1 thing is too much for the guy. Rock, that is how we order dinner, not how we finish races!!!! Geesh, some people can't even grasp the most simple things. Well I guess congrats are in order for the 4th in the TT, 2nd in the Crit and 1st in the Circuit...Now lets see if he can handle a 4-2-1 for dinner!?!?!
As for the really competitive rides, NoHandle and I battled on an epic FT3 Sunday outing! We put in like 6 hours in the saddle, no sprints were decided by more than a millimeter or two. I think we clocked at least two Everest's of climbing...all on fixies!
Late news: Ghost finished on the podium in the Omnium (whatever that is?)! Way to go Ghost!

Until We Ride,

Two. I need a pick up at E54.
ReplyDeleteFour.
ReplyDeleteAt this point I am hoping not to drive but I can if I have to. Axe, chainsaw, or hatchet... what's it gonna be? We are having the ceremony tonight. The stumping of FT3 riders ends today.
The stumping gets a stomping!!
ReplyDeleteStomp that stump!! Thump that stump!! Hopefully this won't be considered an FT3 gang related violent crime. But that stump is going down.
I can't wait to stomp that F$cking Stumps A$$
ReplyDeleteV
ReplyDeleteDo we have to carry the stump stomping implements along the whole ride? Perhaps we should also hit the tire tearing T post by the dam.
Five!
ReplyDeleteThe 4-2-1's are on me tonight. The payday for Cyclebration was legit and our ride leader reminded me of proper team etiquette with regards to distribution of prize money.
Thanks Boys!, for whipping me into shape, reading my ride report essays, and tolerating my occasional 'Rick-ish' behavior.
It's been a great year on the bikes, let's keep FT3 rolling strong into Cross season and beyond.
oops, Six, it took me more than 2 minutes to write my mini essay. :-)
ReplyDeleteLate breaking news posted on the blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat late breaking news. Do I need to go to another blog?
ReplyDeleteSeven.
Bambi will be off the endangered species list in a few weeks. I start at the state on the 27th - no more OT for me.
ReplyDeleteThat is awsome news bamby, unless anyone had intentions of being faster than you, then not so much. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHa ha thanks matt! The omnium is like a stage race. it is based off points from the tt,crit, and circuit race. Rick got first in his category i got second in mine. I'm out tonight......I have one more race for the season this weekend. Need to be fully prepped for is since it is completely flat and the guys i am contending against are pure sprinters. We will see how it goes. Have fun tonight.
ReplyDeleteI've had my Taco Bitch shirt on since 6am
ReplyDeleteha ha
ReplyDeleteWow. A 4-2-1 offering. That is legit.
ReplyDeleteGhost, we'll pick up your prize money offering next week. Nice finish!
Bambi, It's odd to say congratulations to a potentially minimum wage job, but if it keeps you at FT3 it's great news! Balance that budget Arnie!!
How many drivers do we have meeting at the Mosquito lot? Will I get arrested for bicycling to the lot with a huge axe?
Are we knocking down the Grimanger loop?
NoHandle, shirt on, but off the back and not sounding off. Are you wearing your helmet too?
Yeah, I've been feeling festive in my cyclebration shirt.
ReplyDeletei can't wait to do more cyclebrating.
Sorry NoHandle, I missed your seven in post number 13. You were never off the back.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that was in 'hidden comment field post #13."
ReplyDeletePgehw!
That is the sound of the hidden comment field blowing up. Or rather getting blown up by Skeletor, oh, ah, er, AAArrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Someone call He-Man! The hidden comment field is in extreme danger!
ReplyDeleteI think Placerville has a law allowing unpermitted, open carry of yard care tools.
ReplyDeleteI have cordless power tools, chain saw and a big finger nail file.
ReplyDeletethe scouts may have a swiss army knife you could borrow.......or if you are lucky a leatherman
ReplyDeleteIt seems like Cap'n has enough anger towards the stump that he could wrestle it from the ground with his bare hands. Or just gnaw it into mulch.
