In response to popular demand from nearly nobody, a picture of Moi after hammering to an impressive 34th out of 82 at the DC CX, in the bone-chilling awesomeness that is the C Class:
A Bear With Beer, and
3 Cases of Criminally Negligent Hair
I can't remember the name of the guy on my right but he's inspirational as shit - lost 70 pounds in the last year after his doctor told him "ride or die," basically. Single dad, rides when he can. Currently usually caught up in a battle to fight off DFL, but I suspect he'll be kicking my ass by next march.
As for me finishing 34th in the lowly C's, I'll repeat Samuel Johnson's quote about women preaching.
Sir, [it is] like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.
Just speaking as the dog that walks on his hind legs, hippity hop, hippity hop! I'll take it bro. Hopefully we're running on four by next year.
As for that other guy... That's Dirk Diggler's younger, worse endowed brother. Either that, or the Racing Union's Kevin Stapleton, their answer to the burning question, "Will the U.S. ever produce a rider like Vladi Karpets?"

God I hope that's a wig.
Same goes for the guy with the glasses.
Mate... I haven't seen hair (or glasses) like that since the '70s.
Excellent new banner photo BTW. Someone's about to find out that sand isn't as soft as it looks...
you are too hard on yourself.
solid ride, solid season.
c class in no joke. no one races cross who sucks. no one. no one starts racing cross, everyone has raced somewhere before...
mullets are great.

Mike, it's Kevin's tribute to the late 80's You.
Uncle Bob, I find sand to be the hardest part of any cross course, whether I'm running it, riding it, or eatingt it. All three occur at pretty much the same frequency.
Marc I'm starting to realize that, but given my outsized ego it's necesary to keep things in perspective and this is how I do that. FWIW, I tend to be driven as much by negatives (hating losing, for instance) as by positives (loving winning, for example). Sincere thanks for the good words, I know they come from the heart, aside from the competition I can't tell you how much the encouragement of fellow competitors means.
