Once upon a time...

...there were patrons who would fall down, get back up, cut through mountain switchbacks to avoid conflict, and have the respect of the field to wait for him if shit did go down. Not so much anymore. There is no joy in Mudville.

Josh Flexman...Get Yo Ass Upgraded

Just off the top of our heads..here is the palmeres of Josh Flexman this year. We are probably missing a few due to laziness of actually looking at USA Cycling.  

Tysons 123 - 3rd
Kelly Cup - 1st
Crystal Cup 3/4 - 1st
Fourth of July Race - 1st
Hagerstown Crit Champs 1st

Basically, anything that ends in a sprint, this dude propels faster than anybody else.

What's the Fourth of July Criterium? We don't know but it's in Davis, California. That's far. Flex went out there and pummeled the pretty cali boys, got on his private jet, then did it here locally.

By the way, we got some good photos from this Davis event. Flexman Zabeled this dude!!!

Tour de You Got Dropped

We are tinkering around with sponsoring a local team next year but who would it be? If we sponsored a team, does that mean we would have to promote a race? It couldn't since a few 'elite' teams don't do any of that. 

.A picture says a thousand words...but it's more fun to put a few together and make our own race. Ladies and  gentleman, the first Tour de YGD. 

The racers all gathered in the parking lot before the race to get prepared

Soon after, the pack rolled out. As always, there are always a couple guys who try to animate the race early. 

The race started. Adam from Dominion Cycling drilled it followed by red jersey hairy leg guy wearing workshop glasses. 

The pace was...'screaming'



There was a crash mid-pack. People got horizontal.

There was carnage all around. Chuck Hutch was dropped. He couldn't chase back on.

Spectators were leaving. (we give this lady a solid 7 with Reston standards in mind.)

 

As always...'things' happen


Strange things happen


 Then Joe Jefferson wore this shirt. Police came and called the shirt a crime scene and blocked the area.

This unnamed racer got off the front. It started snowing and his road bike turned into a mountain bike!

Then the refs soon called one lap to go

Not everybody was in position

and the winner is of the first Tour de You Got Dropped is:
