Gutter soup served for brunch at Cafe Cone




With bright sunshine and a stiff wind, (if we can be so bold..)The miscene saw another epic Cone Azalia not scince the 1st year event when the riders were treated to heavy downpours and mud have we had such epic conditions, the sun was just there to keep spirits up as the wind had other ideas it was out to break the legs of those that thought they were on form, But inshort it made those that still were standing look even tougher. As everyone got served gutter soup for most of the morning.
All teams were represented with some non the surprises
Kenda A/F, TexasRoadhouse, from the gun it was CHAOS as riders were dropped by the first corner and many would falter as time drug on, the pace was redlined until only those that could bleed long enough hung on..WMCR kept the game incheck..in the 1-2 field incheck as it had Greg christian in a break with Buckeye strongman Paul martin , and teammate Kirk Albers were on him like stink on limburger, Jake the Snake Rytlewski couldnt be content with sittin in the field rode away to join in. christain fought the good fight and won it out right against 3 of the toughest guys in the midwest. WMCR should be stoked. tough guy award goe's out to last years winner jeffCrawford Not only did he have the fastest lap time of the day sub..24 minutes... he rode possesed back to the main field after a early flat.
Cat 3 was a great match up with outtatowner Chris Uberti from purdue university taking the win,In his first CAT 3 appearence the GIANT KILLER Tony W suffered a crash, the POPsecret boys wreaked the place in cat4 our man JB hancock rolled in a impressive 3rd.
Saturn/Shell owned the masters classes..
Matt The diesel Thourout, basicly rode aerobic and set his teammate and himself up for a win, Mark NOT lance Armstrong kicked em in the nuts for the win in 45 +, as did Frank the MAN kistler in the 55+
Cat1-2-3 women saw. Mackenzie woodring a priority health rider roll in uncontested, and Saturn/shell jen Mitchell cruised home for second even after a soil sample.
Another Cone in the books and all most of us have to show for it is deep muscle pain flat tires, but with the lust to redeem ourselves, we should reflect for a moment and thank SuperDave Koessel for making this race a reality, and Saturn/Shell for keepin the pain alive in 07. and robert and crew from Tailwind for scorin right. THANKS from all of us Misceners..

My karma tells me
You've been screwed again.
If you let them do it to you
You've got yourself to blame.
It's you who feels the pain
It's you that feels ashamed.

Roger that, red leader. Although you referred to it as your senior year.

Ya know why Crawford had the fastest lap time. Probably because he was motor pacing from the Red follow Truck all the way back into the chase group after getting split off the group before it split on lap 4, going right bye a small bunch of cat 1-2 guys still racing. The guy should have been DQ'd.

Why didn't the cat 1-2 guys jump on? It's not like crawford was in the car and there were no more seatbelts.

yea, no shit... he may have, and so did a good number of dropped or flatted riders, oh you wanna go into moto pacing? how about a well known CAT1-2 rider at willow and the drafting issue that was so ominous there too. shit call one, call them all. can you say homie hook up? moto pacing has ben a issue at cone for years, even the grand one himself is guilty. DQ yes, singling out, NO

motor pacing was, and always a issue at certain events, but until the officals start DQin theres not much you can do about it. same goes for the center line rule.

Motorpacing? Sounds like a lot of work. Why didn't they just grab onto handles on the side of their team car? Hmm.

Good idea, Been there done that was 2 years ago when a number of the whole food posse pulled that trick. NICE

Who gives a shit if you motor pace and finish in the high teens. A few years back the guy who won the 45's paced back to a four man break and won. That is bullshit. Go home and cry.

So now it's ok to cheat? Sweet! Does anyone have Dr. Fuentes' phone number? I'm going PRO!!

pacing is illegal? happens in EVERY pro race. It's only an issue when somebody bitches. Kind of like speeding on the expressway...everyone does it, and they get pissed when they're caught.

Pacing after a flat is kosher. Pacing back on because your legs suck = bad karma.
