Note's from the island of E'ville
Every year all of the riders here on the island of E'ville get all jazzed up about the Ride Across Indiana(RAIN). It is kind of like a race in that everyone is scored where they finish, but there is no coin at the end, so it gets hard for a guy like me to get geeked up about. I figure if there is no cash...there is no dash.
It is a pretty simple formula for distinguishing real races from pretend ones.
Anyway, ever since I was banished to the island, I have seen some strange happenings in the month leading into RAIN. These guys damn near go into rut. Everyone is the toughest SOB out there, getting geared up for the impending event. We have stop sign attacks, people turning off half way through the group rides, hours and hours of cell phone time used discussing what is going on here on the island and where everyone stands leading into the impending event. The funny part is, they are fighting about stupid shit and end up looking goofier than these two Spanish climbers sluggin' it out. Thank god it is this Saturday and they will be too tired for the rest of July to give a crap about anything cycling related.
And to think that they could go to an NRC race on Saturday in Lousiville instead.....
Does RAIN have doping controls? That would be awesome if they did! People would be testing positive for Turkey subs and chocolate chip cookies.
