Stuff to Love

aH!.CHiWaWA.!.MatCH.sPrINt.vs.CRiT.sPRinT.

This week son dos (2) big motors:
•Diesel Engine [SuperFreddie]
•Señor Tomandos [Mr. Bubbles]

MIA:
•El’Assassin [Tortuga]
•The Executioner [UberFred]

Thursday Circle Jerk [El Dorado Park 6:15am]: On the final lap I wasn’t sure if we were doing Match-Sprints or Crit-Style-Sprints.  No one was willing to sacrifice in order to get the speed up.

Mr.BUbbbbbbbles wasn’t going to let the Mexican embarrass him again.  It was so bad, the Mexican had to swing wide before turn 3 just to find Mr.Bubbles and get on his wheel.

The peloton started as a fairly sizable beast.  Mr. Heart Attack was holding up the rear in good form and some panty wastes actually tried to sit on his wheel for the ultimate Pumbaa Vortex. Can you say PATHETIC.

The pace was smooth but brisk – not fast in any regard but more than 50% of  these wad-stiffs were sitting off the back after a mere 22 minutes.  They should be ashamed  [they know who they are].  So pathetic I can’t even talk about it any more.

I was expecting everyone to start doing track stands into turn 3.  The Lil’I.T. & DrDerm finally took it upon themselves to get the speed up. The Diesel engine throttled it [just a little - only halfheartedly because he told the Mexican he'd lead him out].  Señor Tomandos played it cool.  Through turn 4 the Mexican knew he couldn’t wait for the Bubble Man to jump [he opens a gap too fast - it'd be impossible for the Crow to close] so he jumped around him [he knew he had no juice for 200 meters but he wanted to try; he knew it was fait accompli right from the get go but the Mexican wanted to show some good form].  The Hobo led it out for the first 75 meters but could hear the song of the acceleration singing from the Tomando’s big profile carbon wheels coming around on the right and there was nothing the CrowBo could do about it. He had no snap left.

Mr.Bubbles easily prevailed.
The Preacher-Man was 2nd or 3rd and the Mexican is prepared to throw mas chingasos.

No Bubbles next week. He’s heading to Oregon for Nationals.
¡Buena suerte! Señor Tomandos!

Recuerda: B’Animaux.
