Day 3... Did I mention Mill Valley cops are worthless?

Ok before the recap a quick rant. Stop sign at the Duece, the cops are working the usually entrapment scheme of parking by Marin Autoworks, and claiming to be watching traffic but actually waiting for the drunk sap that parked right next to the bar. Anyway, I'm rolling towards a set of tacos and Kweder is rolling next to me. We come to the stop sign, rolling hecka slow. Some knucklehead does the stop in the middle of the intersection cause bikes are there, You go, no you go, no you, ok, no now I'm going, but now I'm stopping... you know the story. So I say fuck it, I'm going while you try to figure out which is the gas and which is the brake. No big deal, whatever. I have put my bike in the rack at Joe's Mayonnaise Factory, when I here "Hey You!!!" over some loud speakers. WTF! Next thing I know some cop is spoiling my post ride buzz/end of ride taco ritual by giving me a fine piece of the lip service. "You know what you didn't do, you have to, the next time, I never have any trouble with the cars, its always with the bikes, I'm not going to give you the ticket but you gonna get the lecture." She couldn't even get her fat gender confused backpillows out of the car to do this, just leaning though her passenger window.

Anyway, no ticket, just a big F'U' after a great ride. So lets get into it shall we?
Day 3 was strong. Sleepy, Bananas, Kweder, and I rolled up to a classic quick one of Nora, MD, Tfoot. Dusty is a word I might think of. I got to do the first T foot run on the new rig built by these fine folks. Yeah, it schralps! Here are a few pics of us getting rad. Or at least a few of us thinking about it.

Sometimes its heckle island, sometimes its poser island, you make the call.


Sleepy get some shut eye practice before dropping in.

Banana Foster in the Drop Zone.


We got, Fiesty Miosmell knocking out a Big Rock run
post ride buzz for this kid

anyone want to see what it looks like when you razz Mio a little, I knew you would. This is the cut and paste email between he and I. Nothing was edited so if you want to call an harass him his phone number is right there. I usually go with the 8-10 texts in a row. This was an attempt to fire him up after his Big Rock Roll. Don't worry we're still friends. Oh, and hell yeah that's something Master Griff would say, with good reason too!!!

Don't care about the distance. It's more about the time. If 14 miles took you an hour, I'd have to say my grandmother rides faster. If I were you I'd take that extra 10 minutes on the trainer.

Dude-

Weak, that sounds like something Griffen would say.

I took a point out of my work day to make a road ride happen. Yes it took me about a hour, probably a little under. This should be about getting out no matter what and riding. If you want to DQ me for a big rock run I am officially making a railroad t-foot not count as well bc that sure as hell does not last 1 hour- unless you are riding with your "grandmother".

Buzz-kill.

God Damn it that shit is funny. To me anyway, probably to those who know The Kid as well.

Ellis is on medical leave, but I'm all for kicking a man while he's down. Thanks to the Dark Horse for that gem.


Pixie Cross is making a strong run, even getting a surf in for good measure. this is what he had to say:
Testing , three , two, one, is this thing on?....

FUCK yeah it is! 3030 club in effect !
Monday: 2 hotlaps at Tamarancho
Tuesday: commute home from work
Wednesday: commute to work ( must surf after work)
Thursday: Mtn. ride out of Mill Valley 5:30 pm ( join me)
That’s the plan so far.

Shred the Rad,

Chris

If you want to see where the skills come from, jump in with him tomorrow evening in MV.
We got Fitz rocking the steady commute
Murph keepin it real
The Dark Horse looking to take another car off the road in favor of a custom rig. Get on it!

I think just about everyone is still holding out. No Hitchers after day 3, keep it strong!

This is what happened to the last kid that tried to bail out early.

fully owned!
Finally some last minute bits Bananas sent over the wire.
