I know, I know, the Double Fondo went down last weekend and I missed the post. There is a draft floating around in the web-o-sphere somewhere and let me assure you, the names may have changed, but the story is the same. Seven or eight old guys get their teeth stomped in by Joe Fish. Read last years recap and you'll have most of it.
Moving on to current events: generally, we here at FLP tend to frown upon any ride which is preceded by a swim, and/or followed by a run, but if you were brave enough to toe the line in this year's Xterra, well, you may have been slightly surprised by this lurking around the corner:
Or This:
Which, after a few or more early morning beers, degraded into something like this:
Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to hold a giant syringe, a beer and a camera in just two hands, therefore I cannot show you any photos of the Caveman Conrad Stoltz shredding Buttermilk Trail, or Shonny V. riding Melanie McQuaid's wheel on lap 2, or Scottie D. suffering with the rest of the "also rans" out there.
Scottie D, let this be a lesson to you: a whole spring wasted - swimming, running and not drinking. You are one of us and we are not triatheletes, unless, of course, the events are riding, drinking and eating well. Now get back on yer bike, get some socks, ditch the sleeveless jersey and let's see if you can salvage a bit of self-respect in time for the SM100.
MON 6/13/2011 UPDATE:
This just in from the Forest Hill news bureau. Scottie D. assumes the position. No sleeves, no socks, no service!
From the bottom of my heart (and you know I really don't have one) thank you for your continued support...
ReplyDeleteDid that mouse fail the drug test ! There was a Spike out there in sleeveless costume as well. The XTERRArists loved it. Be sure to come back next year and we will "kit" Scotty the D and make him look like Lance the A.
ReplyDeleteI hope all you fools get THE poisn ivy, since you're probably the reason those poor cyclists wrecked in the first place. I was simply so dillusional by that time I thought you were a mirage!!! BTW, Scottie D has not accepted help with the socks or sleeves from my offer either. I think he's becomig a road weenie!!!
ReplyDeleteCmon Spike, you know we wouldn't take anyone out on purpose. Although a few eyeballs were in jeopardy from the syringe. And we actually pulled a few folks out of "THE IVY". I have a natural defense against that stuff, its called EXTRA HAIRY LEGS.
ReplyDeleteWe will be monitoring Mr D's attire over the next few weeks for conformance to our (typically low) standards.
I'll be back... Start designing the kit Dave.
