Southern California - Official ggallin vs cjbruin Race Thread

The short version...


On May 22nd, Tyler (ggallin) challenged me (cjbruin) to a race.
I declined his offer but he kept bringing it up (a total of four times on 5/22 & 5/23).
Since he would not let it go, I challenged him to come out to the Piru 40K Time-Trial on 5/31...loser reimburses the winner for the $25 entry fee.
Tyler came up with a BS excuse...something about not wanting to pay to ride his bike.
I countered that I would pay his entry fee.
In the meantime, Placid Casual suggested that we should race from Tangs Donut Shop in Silver Lake to San Pedro
I agreed that this was also a good idea and suggested we do both races.
Ty-Ty has gone silent.

So...the following challenge is on the table:

Race #1 - May 31, 2008 Piru 40K TT (Info available at http://www.uncletren.com ). CJ will pay Tyler's $25 entry fee. If Tyler turns in a faster time, he wins the bragging rights. If CJ turns in a faster time, Tyler must pose for a photo while kissing CJ's lycra-clad ass. Photo to be taken with CJ's camera so he can post it in this thread.

Race #2 - Date TBD - Tangs to San Pedro followed by beers at Cabrillo Beach (beers to be provided by Placid Casual).

Will these races actually happen? It's all up to Tyler. It's hard to imagine that he would be too chicken to race a geriatric (yes, that's what he called me)...especially when it was his idea in the first place.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Sounds pretty straight forward...go get 'um tiger.

Now THIS is what the forum needs more of! :D

Make it fair. Loser of the Piru race has to kiss the winner's ass, no matter who loses. Loser of the Tangs race has to kiss the winner's face--again, no matter who loses or wins.

Before I place my bet, how geriatric are you?

Who is taking bets? Odds?

I hear what you're sayin' but I think paying his entry fee should make me exempt from the smooch. It looks like the point is moot anyway. Ty appears to be ducking me.

As is perfectly obvious from below, I've got CJ as a 2-1 favorite.

:lol: Never thought of it that way.

This is fantastic.

Nah, he's a smart kid...just laying low, fielding offers.

Maybe he's a hustler, in the tradition of:

What's the dress code? Equipment? Will Tyler be riding fixed? Will there be a video crew?

I have the video camera ready anytime... although with a "Body by Guiness" I might not be able to get CJ into the whole frame...

I think that the race should be from a starting point to an ending point and the route left up to each participant. That way each person can utilize their strengths (TT for CJ, Urban riding for GG) and all of us can have a great time.

I challenge you to a race. Meet me by the railroad tracks at the end of town at high noon.

That was why I suggested the two races. Piru is a closed course TT. I assume the Tangs ride would be more of a free for all where you pick your own route, run red lights, etc. The latter would certainly favor Ty-Ty. Of course, both races should realistically favor him since I'm old and brittle. Oh and fat (as you so nicely pointed out). :)

Bump.

Can't let this one die.

Where's the kid?

He's sending me in his place.

I suddenly hear the theme music from the movie Jaws...

Too far.. like $60 gas, no thanks..


Race #2 - Date TBD - Tangs to San Pedro followed by beers at Cabrillo Beach (beers to be provided by Placid Casual).



I'd be down for that, could ride my bike to the start and follow the "race"
Sounds like fun.

For $25 a kiss? There ought to be some tongue involved!:D

I think CJ's proposal is fair - he should be exempt from the smooch if he pays the entry fee. Ggallin is a wuss - tell him I said so. :D

That gg dude may want to rethink sending you, unless it's for you to do the ass kissing.

Hey ClitorisEastwood. This is the second time you've tried to weasel in on this...

#1 - It has nothing to do with you

#2 - It has NOTHING to do with you

#3 - Feel free to come out to the TT but the entry fee offer is for Tyler only

P.S. Kiss my ass

Hey ClitorisEastwood.

LOL

But personally I'd remove any wood from the above. go ahead and take out the East too.

I suddenly hear the theme music from the movie Jaws...

...or Goldfinger

You kids and your youthful naïveté. Do you really think you can buy your way out of a smooch? Nothing doing.

Two men enter, one man leaves (with his dignity). That's how this is going to work.

Those are my terms if I'm paying Ty's entry fee. If he wants to come up with his own jing...that's fine with me.

Sounds to me like you want to get yourself into a race, too, tippy2. :thumb: :D

:lol:

really? I read what I wrote again and nowhere in it do I say I want to race. Like I've said before I'd consider a dance off but no race.

I like to root for the bad guy, especially if they're dressed in black and you can't see their face.

/\ That would be a ninja but it's starting to smell like ggallin = gallina. :D

I don't know any of the contenders but my money would be on CJ.

Ninjas would be really sweet! I hear guitars wailing already...

Then it's settled. Competitors must dress like ninja. As to who wears white and who wears black... that's between them and the ninjitsu council.

Really? It seems that Tyler's color is yellow.......or pink.

Be very, very careful with this boy, CJ. Fixie riders, like ninjas, are very likely to have Real Ultimate Power. tm

That's all I can do. You're on your own now.

Bwak bwak bwak bwak...

eh....its all moot since the other bwak bwak seems uninterested in a public chance of humiliation...
