Chapter 19: Fish Tacos

I am totally drunk, but have had no alcohol. Cross practice last night was divine and has me completely wired. Super stoked. Heart pumping big love: pump, pump…

Huge group over 20 easily. A few little efforts, a bunch of folks in lycra riding around a soccer field and talking shit. It was just a really good time. Legs felt pretty good tonight, I think I’m starting to come around. I really can’t complain. I have a lot of work to do, but damn tonight, tonight it was good, and very fun.

Few quick thoughts:

E-town will be unstoppable if he can stay away from the bad frites and mayo; Dan the man is flying and hungry, that’s a pretty damn good combination; I also hear he is buying stock in Whamo! makers of slip and slide. Wes the conqueror has submitted an application for the Delaware Cyclocross Coalition of Delaware. He did pass the cartwheel through the barriers test. Slick Rick is like Butter. Green Trek John is Freakishly Strong, cold kicking it live on a mountain bike. Why not just beat me with my own arm ? Amazin’ Andrew is learning this sport very quickly. He’s probably out right now practicing run ups. Who knew Jan loved orange? Monkey needs to raise her seat a little; FortJames is the ultimate team player; thanks for taking care of me dude. CZ said I was ugly and that was a compliment, thanks man. Leo (dez fargin’ guys) rolled a tubie; Dennisbike was flying through the barriers; Kurtee was back from the dead, chillin’ at the beach down at club med. He was a good wheel to hide on tonight. And damn that run up is hard.

Following the ride it was the weekly ½ priced Nacho trip to Deer Park in town. A mild group of 12 enjoyed 3 trays of nachos, and fixed ourselves 3 trays of damned quesadillas. Also on the menu tonight was a fine plate of fish tacos. FFA and I split a plate. Damn Tasty. Probably the best way to describe the entire night. Damn tasty. Yes, I am a Nacho Ho. I’m nach you ho, but I am a nacho ho.

Working the Special Olympics Cycling event Saturday. Notice I said working, not competing. I always enjoy that, helps to keep everything in perspective, and frankly the level of sportsmanship and hugs is very high. I should get some more time on the cross bike following that event. I believe last night’s practice may have set the bar for which all others this year will be compared. We can do better as notably absent last night were Tom Mc, the Canadian, k-man, and Single Speed Dan.

I heart cross.
