I care a lot…The State of the Steak…

 I ain’t a regular any more, my watts haven’t been decent since weight gain..and my opinions are just that 

 but that don’t mean I don’t notice..

There is an age old saying that goes.” It’s the quiet one you gotta look for “

What’s  all that jibber jabber mean..

There is probably a large chunk of the current reading audience that don’t even know I was once a regular around this place dropping TAO, and voicing the truth of anonymous voices.

So Dam T get to the point right..? 

Man the world never scene so murky as it does now..everything is expensive, except liquor…

What’s up wit dat?

Bike racing ain’t cheap, you wanna vi for a national title it’s gonna cost ya…you wanna win and gain social media attention go to some mountain bike race in the forgotten corner of the scene…pay the man…wanna win 125 bucks at Galesburg ramble and gravel…pay 90..it it is what it is..I suppose…about the only bargain going is used bike shit..cuz that shit ain’t worth shit…

Not being the one t bellyache..the back in my day…schtick…but just like half wheelers, cross wheelers, tree clippers, and over shooting corners fellas..we had that shit then…it wasn’t all golden downtown crits with the crème of the crop every weekend…some of the old guard probably all to well remember fighting for wheels around Frankenmuth for 80 miles or more and then looking at each other to who was gonna lead the sprint out…it be like that then..just not as magnified as it is now…

You want my honest to goodness opinion?

The road-scene in Miscene is partially the way it is because of two things.

Gratten and Waterford….there I said it..

It allows us to rely on just that..race car tracks..without those two places…the right people would be forced to look outside of the safety and security of easy access venues…or not..

Before you fling a turd at me…think on it..

Hell there is probably less than 8% that remember only going to Waterford for a few times a season because the weekends meant hard ass shit.. folks become accustomed to being the next big sprinter..everyone thinks there a sprinter, and riding a break might be committing to the fact you might get dropped…not mention folks are probably a tad mentally exhausted from weeks of racing the same right handed piece of black top..unfortunately it’s what we got…few venture for the truth..the truth is painful when it’s all you been doing is beating up on the same  20 or something dudes..and without anything other than Race car tracks, Sketchy group rides, and the Wacky World of gravel it’s a sandwich everyone gets to take a bite of.

This is by no means a rant of disrespect for those fine folks that put on the Summer series..nothing but huge amounts of Godzilla like respect, it’s a busy world, promoting a bike race and actually executing one is a money loss Labor of love..and T loves u..

Maybe it will change maybe it won’t..

Peace
