1 Shot, 1 Race & 3 Months To Go

Well groupies and rabid fans of the NECS, I do want to apologize for the lack of superior intellectual verbiage that I normally post to the nether regions of blogdom but life has not been all that exciting for the President For Life - CDubs. Having survived the massive doses of wrist snapping doled out at Middle Fork with my breatheren from the Midwest I am now in damage control and will be off the race courses until the town of Coburn is ready for the running of the 101. Like any good junkie one has to plan in advance to make sure the next fix will get you to your desired goal and I am glad to report that I am now in that state of euphoria. With the last round of 'roids only lasting a scant 2 1/2 months timing was critical to keep the pain in check until the W101 and post race surgery. Thankfully I happened into some of the old staff from USPS and was immediately directed to the Nuclear Medicine Division at Hospital for Special Surgery where the appropriate doseage was administered with amazing results. Just yesterday I was a svelte PBR swilling rider like this -and then this morning it was this -Boy am I going to kick some ass.
Meanwhile the rest of the troops have been out on the warpath kicking ass, snapping wrists and taking no prisoners. Top Chef, seen here on the new carbon Epic got right down to business and stormed the sport field at Waywayanda taking the top step.Next up, after a week of torrential rain, was the Stewart Six Pack where, in pro class, there was a event that happens less often then a swarm of locusts - Monte's doing his impersonation of a Japanese fighter pilot -In Sport class it was MacGyver in 7th for under 45 and for the soon to be Centrum Silver grouping it was Top Chef in 6th and the Mayor, well, he was simply the Mayor. Meanwhile in the singlespeeds it was El Obamador in 5th, Tom "Hobo Slayer" Hill in 13th, Senor Agua in 15th and an unconfirmed sighting of Mikesquatch in 18th.
Stay tuned for details on the cycling event that has all of the pros and cycling correspondents talking at the Giro - NECS Grand Fondo - which will feature a KoM competition, including a massive 10 Euro purse for the first rider to summit the Cima Coppi.

holy shit! 10 euros is like a million US dollars. Is Clenbutador going to be there. I heard he is using the NECS Gran fondo to prepare for the tour. JERK

Another fine piece of journalism! For the record, Obamador was 5th in the SS class. Hope to see you at the Wilderness 101.

No Clenbutador but we will have the famously fast Mexicant singlespeed racer - El Obamador who is favored to win the KoM.
The 10 Euro Chima Coppi bonus should make for some exciting racing, maybe even stick in the spokes kind of racing.

El Obamador my apologies and correction noted. Seems our field reporter was confused by the translation or the ancient scrolls and mixed things up a bit.
