The Brotherhood

Tuesday Night Ride August 10, 2010




Hot Damn Tamale: We’ve had some warm nights but this one takes the prize and with no wind and high humidity it was good thing we were moving as fast as we were. We started with twenty even though a lot of the brotherhood was not present.

Slip N Slide: No not the kind they do with beer at the frat houses, this was serious. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. One door closes, another opens… that door opened for Todd who was running late and caught us, game on for Todd as others were leaving the ride.

Sprinting?: After we tended to the wounded the remainder of us set out to wound ourselves internally. With no break occurring Brian had no problem dispelling with us for the first W. Then Alan, Webbcorp & Greg took off to take the 2nd sprint in a breakaway. Alan and Greg again rode away before Leslie and held off for the 3rd sprint in a breakaway, very nice. Brian took the 3rd sprint which was all together, remember that boys, look at the details, if you plan to beat Brian you need to be in a break.

Animal Conspiracy: not sure if you heard of this hypothesis, but some believe animals are rising up to attack humans and claw their way back up the food chain. This happened to us a year ago when a goose chased a rabbit across the road right into our path, not good, people got hurt, goose chuckled. Last night a dog the size of shoe decided he would attack all 22 of us and it almost worked, but I have to hand it to everyone, we kept our cool and pursued with the job at hand. Brian took the next two sprints and sealed his 2nd win.

The picture of Michigan Racing: not sure how many noticed but Brett Robinson joined us last night near the 5th sprint. Brett is a mentor of mine and as well as one of the strongest cyclist in Michigan he is tactically the best I have seen. Brett’s been ill, but he is back on the bike! It would be easier to name the races Brett has not won in Michigan, here is a picture of Brett in action.

If at first you don’t succeed: Banky after years of trying finally had his day at the Mason sprint with a strong break companion in Wade, son he is riding good.

Final podium shot: Brian, Alan, Craig. Alan went home with the dinner and a movie coupons, nice work youngster. Yes, for the tenth time, this is my wife's jersey!

Ok, my brothers and sisters, I am up and out, Webbcorp
