there i said it.

Good ride and race... lots of fun and a crap load of prizes. The ride down was fun as well as the ride up, especially with all the angry drivers honking at us on ocean parkway.

about 50 raced plus people that worked the race and stuff. The race was relatively easy cuz most of the way was just a straight sprint down ocean parkway.

That guy looks like he could tear Jimmy Fallon a new *hole (I wish he would). I forget his name, I've met him a bunch of times though.
Next alleycat should have a checkpoint where you have to beat the crap out of Jimmy Fallon.
Crayon, I'm guessing there will be no "full results". You should have asked what place you came in.
Anyhow, I had a good time. I came out of retirement for this one (and it showed). Good times. I hope I get to see Trudy's picture of my lycra-clad ass sometime soon. There's nothing like ogling one's own ass.
Chombo, where you at? Te extrano.

That's Thom and Jill. First-rate, the both of them. Thom is a badass, can ride like I wish your mom could, and packs a mean headbutt in full-contact arm wrestling. Jill is fun in a white tank top and makes fantastic raspberry sodas behind the bar for the straightedge kids.
