Mid Atlantic Cyclocross Party…

This was a good time. This event was more of a party less of an awards banquet. Sure the hardware got handed out, but it was much more social; much more good people getting together sharing a fine ale, and enjoying each others company. I will admit, it is sometimes tough to recognize folks when they are not in lycra. But alas, it all worked out. Chris suggested that everyone where name tags with pictures of them selves in full kit. Sounded like a good idea to me.

I bailed a little early, I was kinda beat. But the party was really fun. Dennis S had a bad ass slide show going from the cross season, that was sweet. His pictures are so good. (check the link ) Perhaps the highlight for me was a video that Tom Mc had borrowed from Tom C. that was a show case of Katie’s season. That was pretty bad ass to see too. Best part of the show was just after she won nats, and Tom is jumping from side to side, cleaning the mud off of her face. Katie steadily moves forward through her interviews, never phased by the man spit washing her face. My hero.

In addition to seeing some of the great folks in our local scene, it was cool to see the cross folks that are so nice and fun. Reminded me very quickly, why I fell so hard for cross again last fall. It was cool because Diane got to meet a lot of the folks that I would ramble on about all the time. Chris and Cheryl, ate with us. Wes was looking very sporty. Heck, I even got an award. Meg, the MAC queen herself, and proprietor of www.midatlanticcross.com (check the link…) handed me the “mac racer most likely to dress up like a superhero award” One of my highest honors yet. Seriously. I was stoked.

It was just good see james, lisa, kurtee, wayne, rick and jen. Yeah I know, this is starting to feel like the end of the Mickey Mouse show. Anyway, it was a good time. Shit so many people, it was really motivating me to get going again. Leaving the party, I feel really fricking hungry right now. Hungry to ride and to train. I can’t wait for the next cross season. Les, Rick and company are gonna try and hook up with our group for tomorrow’s ride. I’m likely gonna get my ass handed to me, but I’m really looking forward to this ride. Frozen Fairhill. Halleluiah.

BTW. Friday I ate at Taco Shells again. I ordered “the worlds greatest burrito”- Damn if it didn’t live up to it’s billing. Outstanding, my taste buds were in heavenly bliss.
