for what its worth.

Tms is gonna take a stab at the 09 road season.. its corpse is barely cold, and cyclocross season is already toss in dirt on the box. Coining phrases, and using song titles seems to come to our minds when we think of the 09 season, chchanges, we scene allot of them right? from new venues, to new faces appearing, to old faces reappearing. and dudes disappearing... Life is like a box chocolates, but for our sakes we pinch the corners from time to time. Where do we start? lets start from the start, and ramble on...

The spring fling thing..OK same ol same ol? Not entirely, it chchanges from time after time. wolverines seem to rule the early spring thing to Cone, TMS would of never guessed THE CRUZ would of wailed so much in the spring, and whatta about that Kroske guy? is he for real? TMS is picking him for a cone win in the future... The Essex Mob squad seem to GTRDONE when it was the right time. Could anyone of called The Roadking and the BlackAce going 1/2 by mear hairs at willow for the 2nd year in a row? The loss of TDL was a bummer fer sure but did getting the tour of MT pleasentsweet make up for it? Well maybe not, but it sure beat the hell out of making love out of nothing at all. the State road race got bumped to a piece of land that doesn't even wanna be part of its own family. But it was OK all the same. Just when you thought your life was complete confusion, DANNYK shows up in lathrup kit with Bontrager equipped Giant weird? . many a sceners wallets stayed padded with the loss of the AP crit. Things were too close for comfort every other Thursday night Waterford hills. Essex upd its ante on the teams flow list, when Saari hung on to be the King of Thursday night. Hopefully No one focused on the State time trial as it was as flooded as the Edmund Fitzgerald hull. amd moved a month back..Maybe next season we can finally get a real state TT course we deserve.

By the time Mid summer rolled around dudes were going shirtless Basher was in full swing pissing scneres off and turning them away We saw burnouts a plenty, except for Timmy Finkel, He rode himself into a machine like state week after week. PappaT came back from the grave and put in some solid efforts, and what about Swiatlowski??? Just when you thought you it was safe to back into the water, he comes back fit and thin, and as fast as ever.

Losing Rockford was a heavy bummer for some and a blessing for most. But we picked up a super technical course at Milford to make up for it, the State championship crit couldn't of been held at a finer location. Could you imagine what our scne would be like if we had the old crits on the schedule as well as the current ones, Jackson, Midland, Ann Arbor, Rochester Hills, Lapeer.etc.. hey maybe were on to something?? Michigan Crit series, not alot of money, but alot of Bissell dudes.. its a great spectator event, Not quite as long and drug out as the Road racing we could call it the dirty dozen, 12 crits in 12 weeks, or? ..HMM?

Murder City weekend was here in gone in a blink of an eye, Uberti almost did the triple thing..Essex took the Mondays race and primed it out very nicely thank you! TMS is sure we missed allot but that's why your here, We have always had great respect for those that keep coming back, comments legit anon, or BS, whether you come for the good, the bad or the ugly, we dont care!

So as the wake is nearing a close and you finish stumbling through this poorly written piece of junk, we know you gotta ask yourself one question...what the hell does tms know? they/he, whatever, didn't do any write ups or predictions all season...hell they were not even at any of the races, what the hell do they know? But theres your first and foremost mistake.. are your sure of that? We like to think we know whats up and we stay abreast on the scne. We also like to think getting fed the same bullshit week after week only leads to making jack a dull boy. Do we all really need to be updated weekend week out. No were not saying TMS doesn't like write ups but its OK to change from time to time..sometimes a little lying and dissension is OK. right? sometimes the truth isn't always whats best.

stay classy TMS
