STATE OF THE STATE

When two really cool races via for the same date on the calendar someone looses

The rust shaker sees a whopping 3 elite entries..

boy howdy golly jeeeezz that sounded like a fun day 

like pushing a chain..the scene continues to eat itself 

well if this were 2008 everyone could of had a chance to measure there winter marginal gains at the annual Willow time trial..

but since its 2019 and we all pulled our aerobars off our TT bikes to hook them on roadbikes with mountainbike tires that aint happening anymore 

not enough interest leads to the death of the longest standing TT in the scene

sad..the end of an era ends a gravely  death 

dont throw away those aero-bars though.......

KIDA...

has been on the alternative route since the dismissal  of the  euro pro-life, 

from Michiganscene base miles on a mountain bike...

to full on US of A Mountain bike pro racing to gravel road racing to Waffle ridin 

KIDA has been kickin his genetic gift freestyle 

fuckin awesome

Hellkaat 100 
is slowly moving up the official status..
last years gravel King Alex T,
Dam Y,
and
the Runner guy who has the worst taste in helmets split the group in half through the day..

Just when it all seemed like a trio
from what is seems  the only guy to ever win a bike race in Michigan who has small kids
 Dam Yunkus puts the nail in the coffin and makes up for the BRX miss..

Check the handle bar gear...
Hell it was a few years ago that you would ran a some guy in a ditch for showing up to a group ride with tubes on there handlebars,

now its dam fuckin near par norm to use em on a bike that is going down roads with pot-holes bigger than most sceners credit debit
my only thought about these above guys is if they really are that concerned over the aero-advantage is maybe paying the grip to  getting a proper bike fit. shit heads..
I dunno  maybe they just need to use em when they are getting tired and feel the need to lay down and take a break,,,


boy it a veeeered world we live in...

rumor has it all the local bike shops have been digging deep in the basement for unsold profile aero-strikes

Andy Warhol says i should get my 15 minutes any fuckin way i feel i need to..

EAT A DICK ROADIES

Sorry, folks!

 We're closed for two weeks to clean and repair America's favorite family fun park. Sorry, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!

The spring-fling-thing seems to be slowly chuncking along unfortunately there are few that really care enough to show up every weekend 

Your looking at the guys who are caring the most right here..Mcbride hasnt won yet at AAVC but hes winning the sock game..

Andy G shows up out A2 every now and then and usually wins..and the guy on your left Steve Bromeal is pretty sudden 

years ago seems people used to dam near crucify guys for caring soo much about a crit series run in a industrial park for 3-4 weeks calling them spring fling kings or spring burnouts...

well the brunt of our crit racing along with weekday race car tracks is where its at..

Not this year...sorry Maybe again someday
Oh i forgot USAC frowns on Ski Masks and fake noses

Lets talk Scotty for minute...

this guy has been winning on all fronts from an AAVC win to a Fort Custer stampede win..to Waterford worlds shakedown 

bout the only thing Scotty hasnt won yet soo far is the line to recess at my local grade school
but i bet if he were around he would win that too..
fuc

The Grayling Giant made it 7 in a row,

At what seems to be the only place where you can hide from Aero-Bars and recumbent s ..

the Mud Sweat and Beers saw a huge turnout..
like old school 90s days...

Interesting event but 62 miles can hardly seem like a Time Trial

Is it me or does everything have to be long folks

i dunno about you but i know plenty of fine foxy ladies that like it short sweet...
62 miles no one is time trialing 62 miles at full tilt tongue under the hood tickling that jelly bean boogie..

The sun glass companies must be sniffin glue

Dude dont even say anything

we all love options

former scner, now east coast transplant and all around cool guy

Danny Soltan grabbed a much coveted KOM at that waffle ride out west...

Nice........

Now this has me warm inside...
Bells Beer marketing dept is rumored to be testing the waters with this whole gravel phenom,
the Team is being led by first time mid 30 something women on comfort bikes looking to spice it up with a little day drinking and
 some up right threshold testing. A far cry unfortunately from the Day of The OG gals and Beer buddies decimating the elite fields...
but hey its worth a look and you go where the the grip is..

But....Im in total disappointment The company is lacking the matching shorts and helmet 

This is your world now...

you better get used to it..
