What have Demi Vollering and Lenny Martinez got in common? One thing is
they both told their teams they were leaving earlier this season and
quickly felt...
Chico has the title fom last year. That's why he got to spray Dante(2nd) in the face with beer. I placed third by squeaking out a win in the egg on a spoon race in Harrow at the famed shooters.
ReplyDeleteThe Butcher (3rd place)
It doesn't start until January?????
ReplyDeleteBoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
That's right, I DID get sprayed in the face by Chico. Expect revenge soon, mini-Chilean, very soon.
ReplyDeletePS-I suggest January 10 for the double points ride. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteSorry Butcher, post should've read "can the butcher defend last years title of 'king of useless tricks'. Being a savant at the egg/spoon race is mildly noteworthy though.
ReplyDeleteThe Chilean is the rightful title holder and perhaps the Jan.10 ride should be without points - more social and less competitive.
Sounds like Dante is coming back Jan 10ths. The Chilean is looking for more points 2010 look out Butcher. The revenge will NEVER happen Kiwi……
ReplyDeleteSaludos,
oh man
ReplyDeleteStrike two, Mini-Chi. Never call an Italian "Kiwi", especially after we drew each other in World Cup group play.
ReplyDeleteDoes champagne freeze in your nostrils on Jan. 10th??
If its a decently easy pace (as posted above) y'all might have another rider on a junky mtb on some sunday rides.
ReplyDeleteSteve
If at first the decently easy pace is too much, you will get dropped and ride the hour home solo, repeat a few times and the pace shall become more managable!!
ReplyDelete-Chinese Proverb
Is this open for anyone? Sounds like good times.
ReplyDeleteGot my cast off. Stopped using crutches Friday. Should be allowed to pedal again after Christmas. After 3 months, fitness will be at ZERO... the pace'll have to be more than decently easy! Anybody else up for that "solo" ride home?
ReplyDeleteThis is open to anyone with some reasonable fitness who feels comfortable riding in a group at a steady pace for several hours.
ReplyDeleteThe pace should be easy but sometimes you have to 'let the dogs eat'.
A ridiculous-wise-man once told me that.
I think the hot set up is SINGLE SPEED, watch out chico.
