7/28 - Rattling Creek Marathon

[ArmyOfNone]

They should have let you announce at the tour. You would have been way better than the other guy who put me to sleep every morning.

 

[Shaggz]

Yes, supportive, I see. Let's hope you never work at a suicide prevention hotline.

come on guys, i didn't think it was that obscure:

but you see, you think they drop like rocks, they don't. He hit a gargoyle on the way down and this guy gets his head caught in the gargoyle's mouth. The head pops off like a grape. The body continues to spin down like a whirl-a-gig. When they hit, everything pops out. It's like a piñata The intestines, like they're spring-loaded, pop out.

I think this is a cry for help

me walking around in frank's thong after ride four holding a multitool, tire pump and can of lube is a cry for help.

Soiled wig! I found a goddamn thorn in the tire tonight. Couldn't feel it running your fingers around the inside of the tube. I had to turn it inside out and bend the tire to get it to pop out. Son of dog. On the bright side I guess it means the tires aren't totally worthless.

 

[J-Dro]

Wow... All that training and all that preparation for the race tossed aside by a single tiny thorn.

 

[Maurice]

Tubeless?

I took a picture of it which I'll post when I download it. The camera could barely focus on the damn thing. So tiny. On one hand I guess I should have suspected it after flat #2. But the hole in #2 was probably 1/4 inch long which just didn't seem like a thorn to me.

Tubeless?

I'm working on that!

 

[Norm]

Ok here's the picture I promised way back when. Little SOB.
