Pic needs a caption

One of my team mates "tagged" a Facebook photo of me taken while racing in a cyclo cross race earlier this fall. I was racing in the B race and the rider behind was warming up for his A race, to be held after my race finished. The trailing rider followed me around my last lap of the 2 mile loop, never passing or interfering with my race. A closer look at his jersey and shorts reveals that he is a "National Champion" with the red and blue stripes on his sleeve and shorts. He is a former pro and one of the best riders in OH. Recently one of my local riding buddies took the image and photo shopped "Cigar Man" onto the riders head.

So, all you witty old farts, what caption should go with this image of some tired and bleeding old guy being chased through the barriers by "Cigar Man"?

Very good captions so far. I'm surprised no one said "is that all you got?".

Permit required for the legs
Cyclo fuzz were chasing a suspect in the case of the "lost permit for legs" to be out in public case.
Let this be a reminder for all the children to pick up a permit to show legs in public at your local police station.

SachaL PAGE You never know what is, or might be, gaining on you



I don't know about cyclocross I would rip out all the barriers on my first lap ( or go around them)

Because of the resemblance to Grouco:

Marry me and I'll never look at another bike!

A bike race is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke.
