Hogan Cross

This weeks Cross Festivities were in Hogan's neighborhood(a neighborhood of $600k according to his neighbor's for sale sign $$$$). Bud once again graciously allowed a bunch of idiots to ride bikes around his house & give out money for doing it. Granted for some reason Skip got some of this money & I got none! Where is the justice in that? He gets 3rd in B's I get 7th in A's & I lapped him yet no money for me. I did ok I guess, but I've come to the conclusion I suck @ CX gaming. There is no excuse I just suck, ok here are a few excuses:

1) My cold was worse than I thought; excuse also used by Jimbo who I lapped.
2) My Tufo's valve stem broke 5 minutes before the start & I had to use Bud's rear wheel. I can not thank him enough for keeping me off my SS CX. Granted said wheel only allowed me to use four of the 9 gears. This was 2 too many though since I had no speed. Though according to him I should have lapped the field 3x on his wheel. Like I said I suck @ the CX game.
3) I ran the barriers like a girl. No offense to Pam Hinton who was the only woman, so she did truly run the barriers like a girl & managed to beat most of the B field (who I lapped, that'd be you Skip).
4) The grass was bumpy.
5) It rained/drizzled.
6) It was cold.
7) Amber only rang the bell twice.
8) I was getting snot every where.

A pretty big field assembled in the A's race, with a similar sized B field to follow & allow us to lap/get in our way(that would be you Skip).
I only had 3 goals:
A) To not get lapped by Cale who I didn't but He only got 4th so I got lapped by 1-3. Butthead is a lot faster than he lets on. I know I tried to ride 2 laps with them when they lapped me. I suck, he doesn't.
B)To not get beat by the Merm. Little bastard actually made a race of it & I had to struggle to beat him.
C) To Lap Farasy. This became a during the race goal when I saw I was getting close.

This was me warming up when I realized I was probably going to hit these hay bales. I did. Third lap straight over the handle bars. I suck, hay bales are soft, asphalt isn't, shoulder OK.

The Merm racing JR Froese while chasing me. One's 17 the other just acts like it.

The battle. Me running the barriers like a girl. See Bud's wheel; kind of looks fast or @ least it will hold by big ass.

Looking kind of fast. Really its trick photography thanks to my Mom.

More trick photography. She even made it look like Bud's wheel was kicking up dirt, moto style.

Butthead who won the battle of McSlow v. Butthead. He's so fast he's blurry.

BOCOMO better @ the CX game.

Shane sorry for the lack of updates. Miscommunication between me & Amber. I thought she said she had updated you, not that I was supposed to. See I suck @ the whole CX game.

  2. Lack of communication and marriage go hand in hand.

    Do you really think WSPS acts 17, I think more like 10. You know the age where if you actually see a naked booby you still turn away.

  3. well if I had known that bloody loud bell needed to be rung more in order for you to meet your goals I would have supervised Amber and got her to ring it more. Very difficult to walk thru slippery tick loaded woods keeping a high dollar digital camera dry, take pictures in the semi dark and ring a bell. BUT you can bet your back wheel it WILL get rung next week till you scream STOP.
    I had fun despite the crappy weather. I was missing sunny skys in Pontiac by the way.
    OH and who was that "flasher" by the car? Very hairy I must say was quite a scare.
