SKIDS IN THE DARK

Sunny skies of summer greeted a willing crew of various freaky cyclists in late Feb.  Pictured above is a face of fierce concentration, ready to handle to floppiest of chopper flop or perhaps a little tarnished with the disappointment of recently having a severe headtube angle modification courtesy of some fat bastard.  Luckily Richie was able to draw on his childhood spent travelling with the Moscow Circus and dinky his daughter for the remainder of the days proceedings.

 

The beginning of the ride turned out as one of those classic, not much riding, mostly waiting around, killing time kind of affairs.  Who were we waiting for you ask - could it be the Shedgineers?  Who will be referred to from this day on as the Puncture Magnets.  I believe Captain Wanga told me he was on his 25th patch by the time we caught up with them.
