The Oil of love, and swimming in a zodiac lion's den
Good morning Goood Morning Good morning...
In between your post coital alignment..your afterglow your hangover your over priced wait too long a line latte...cartoons pre race..pre shit...web surfing... Freddie Cougar downloading...waste some time and think about it...Its less than 24 hrs away haters..and if my memory serves me correctly its been 14 years since this fine city park home of miscne sweet ass under appreciated velodrome has hosted a USCF cross state championship..alot has happened since then fools...the cross scene was just starting to take hold Uncle Bobby was gettin on board driving that big home schooler gas guzzling Econoline travling back east to see how the pros handle a booming sport..no one rode plastic bikes..except Frankie..do Mountainbikes count? they did back then cuz Frankie rode one to third place behind the Pony and Scotty Q earlier in the series....tubies and double bikes were few and far between..the courses were still very traditional euro like not a turn every 50 yards and they even can you believe this haters..they eeek GASP! had pavement at some of the event...LAWWD!..anyways it was a sweet time to be a crosser..
looking back on that cold ass morning...in December no one had even a chance to have a monkey on there back yet..and less than 83 riders went out and braved the shit..a dry but cold course saw The lil Pony who was just starting his reign as a Miscene legend win a hard fought battle over Fast Russ Tiles with over a minute to spare ..The Eagle Adams a formidable crosser BITD finished 3rd..while some 16 year old kid named Brent Bookwalter came in 4th..two future state champions were pack filler and would get there day in years to come...that sucka the Black Ace already dam old.... beat the at the time a lucrative paying masters field..Friday 15s Jody Koch won the womens race over Shari Hausbeck and some old bird named Ann Schwartz had started creepin...damm..it was a good time in the scene..who woulda thought B race winner the Wiz woulda went on to become a USGP champion...and Joberon Brewchamp...well that guy hell he went to become a drinking god in these parts...and god dam whatta about Joe Brown..yes indeed alot has come and gone since the stork dropped off a gift for us to create....design and make as our own alter of cross tow worship...
wonder what the WIZ is doing...
