too close for comfort


Yea, another year, another willow, some things never change, like the amount of change people drop on TT rigs, dollar for dollar, the cost for use sceners spend on these bikes is probably more than any other ride in the barn, unless your TT specailist, its alotta show for little go. Hell a disc wheel and tri spoke, throw in some Zipp bars and chrono helmet.. its more than half the cars in the parking lot.. But heck it keeps the schmucks busy at Zipp in Business. One thing we never get used to is when you roll into a TT is how fast everyone looks. you can be postin the elderly could put up, but dam they look good.


Willow temps tolerable, and a wind that made some sckecthey, The fields were a tad thin, not the slimmest but thinner than a few years back when most were 35+.although the the 1/2 field was missing Last years winner and 2005 winner the cyborg, along with many other note a bales, it still was danerously close finish. A few sleepin giants arose from miscene lairs to come out stretch it out. , Tom Burke and The BLACK ACE were too close for comfort. TT specialist Sunlyon Gary Denaglis came in 3rd you may not see him all season but you can bet he comes out for the TT, ( i guess he falls into the dollar for return cat) and the rest of the field? was closley behind. strangley DANNYK was MIA although scene, Toe CUTTER was wrong on that one.

Cat3 was swept by the Sunlyon crew of MORRISEY, Atken and the GIANTKILLER . OH and our favorite "skinhead" shook it up for 4th, good thing as he broke up the Orange suffocation of SL. sharp eyes would see past cat3 dominator jason Brake in action, good to see ya back buddy.

EYE of Gatto rode to a PR..in the 4s

masters 35+ was done in By Saturns TREX, Brian REX that is, he got the best of Michigan state road champ Jon Morgan. Paul riveria was sportin the sweet lookin NEW Essex kit a much inprovement INDEED!!

BIKEBOY would of Pr'd had he not left his golden slippers home, too bad, for youngin ..he's got mad bloggin skills.

womens 1/2 SLIm like the winner Saturns/shells heather mitchel took it over a couple PH chix.
enough is enough. the season looks to be rollin.
that leaves with now with the topic of who will roll to the line on sunday moring for what is expected to be another epic day on the rock strewn roads S/east michigan.
on a side note to that, everyone should keep there valubles in check "IE lost items" on the road, as last year saw numerous swag hounds runnin the cow paths until way late lookin for booty.

I noticed the same thing about Willow. It seems like the average racer easily spends over 50% of their entire bike budget on a single TT machine that goes outside maybe five times a year.

But for half an hour each April, we look awesome.

TMS, however, spends that money stalking Doug.
