238: heels, sexy underwear, and dishes

Friday night whilst out at dinner we saw this fellow.I called bingo, you know for hipster bingo, based solely on his jacket. However, the jacket could be anti-hipster because it has a derailleur. Hipsters rock the fixes...

Judges can I get a ruling?

No, sweet Meghan has not gone goth...Friday Tom, Jeb, Monkey and I went to see Meghan's school play "a walk in the woods". She played the milky white cow, and was pretty awesome. She still has her milky white cow make up on in this picture. Her death scene was the best I have ever seen. I want to get her to reenact for the blog...

Sunday Jan, Jeb, Tom, RBB and I loaded up and drove up to Bad Kat and Bad Andy's place. From there we rode down to the Lancaster Training Crits. It was pretty fun day.The first race went down like this: Like dorks we all rushed to the line make sure we were up front. I guess this usually isn't as important in crits as it is cross races. The first few laps we drove a steady pace. I was on the rivet. Each of us took turns at taking flyers:Tom on the first lap, RBB on the 13th, Jan 10th, Jeb 5th, and me with two to go. I didn't think mine would stick, but it was one last shot to scatter the 10 or so riders that were left. In the end, Jeb took 3rd, Jan 4th, and me 10th or so... (based off of pictures)

I was probably the best sprinter in our group, but also in the worst shape, so my suicide attack with 2 to go worked great for me. Truth is I'm really in no shape to race, and used as much guile and treachery as possible in the C race. (the classes were a-d). In the B race I pretty much got my ass handed to me. Sometimes, there's no bluffing, either you got it, or you don't. I don't right now. It is after all March.

The second race was much harder, and we all kinda paid for our indiscretions in the first race. Maybe on the 3rd lap a saw a split in the group, at first I dug in deep trying to make it, but I was in a very bad way. Bad Andy drug Jan across the gap. I figured I had 15 guys in my group, I'd still get some work. With 10 to go, I realized my group was gone, it was just the 4 of us.

I pulled the plug two laps latter. I was shattered, and not really going all that fast at that point. I was a little bummed I came up 8 laps short, but it was still tons of fun.

these were training races, key word training. Between the two races, I was pretty much destroyed. But smiling... Thanks to my teammates, and friends for a great day...

I do have one saving grace: I might not have had fast legs today, but I did have the fastest feet:
