Sunday Stroll

So I got out this morning for a nice fun leisurely ride. Suzuki Shane, KP Duty & the Hammer and I kicked around easy. I finally had those guys where I wanted them and was able to smack them around at will. They were lucky I didn't go all Doper on them.

It seems that KP Duty & SS did the E'ville club century on Thursday and again on Saturday. They were whining about being tired and sore, but after hearing how Jinglehammer laid the smack down in MO over the weekend, I told them to leave the hem on their skirts a little longer next time. Since they were both wasted from the weekends efforts, they had to put up with my being a smartass, but I will be re-payed eventually for sure.

At the RR in MO, it seems that Josh Carter got away in the RR with one other guy. Hammer takes off in Roscoe P. Coltrain pursuit with a Jelly Belly pro, who after chasing for a bit, decides that the smart thing to do would be to let the field come back to them, since they weren't gaining much time. Hammer went back to the field and promptly attacked them again. Alone. Now he did not have some Div III pro to distract him. Then he put his head down and rode across to the two leaders. Alone. Then he turned the screws and got rid of one of the front two. Unfortunately, it wasn't Josh "did I mention I can sprint" Carter, who got him in the end. Aside from bridging, alone in case you didn't catch that part, he is now one point shy of a Cat 1 upgrade. For those just tuning in, he was a Cat 5 in March. He is threatening to take up cyclocross now. Lord only knows the devastation he can lay out there.

I did invite him to go to the Hilly with us, so I am sure that we can derail his career in one weekend.
