Yesterday was the the RAIN ride (race) 160 miles from state line to state line. I toed the line along with some 1300 other folks. the days was perfect low humidity and a nice 15mph tail wind. with about 140 miles to go Mooner on a tandem and a couple of singles took off never to be seen again. the lead group which was about 300 strong at 30 miles was down to 60 at 110 miles when the route popped back out on 40. So here is the situation we have 60 riders a big tail wind and about 55 PUSSES as no one would pull. Come on I was not looking for much but for Christ's sake I would pull for 5 minutes at 26 then Suzuki Shane would do the same then......NO ONE back to 20 mph...PLEASE! I needed to stop at a store and buy them all maxi pads. Later down the road Shane rode away from the group after I pulled because the bunch of pusses would not follow his wheel. Then he proceeded to ride the last 20 miles by himself for 5th finishing about 3 minutes behind the front guys and two minutes in front of us.
The best part of the day was when little Nicky had to go pee then did in the middle of the pack while riding right in his shorts....YUCK. He got his bike, saddle and the worst part his water bottles all wet......to make it even better we stopped at a light about 2 miles later. Guy needs to learn to pee on the bike. I will have to give it to the guy he did try to get away with me several times while the pusses who could chase back and suck wheel where in control.
Possibly the worst show of sportsmanship I have ever seen happen at RAIN also where guys who got dropped from our group when would catch a draft off there support van back up to the group. Hell they might as well call themselves DOPERS! In short Mooner a 6:36 effort, Suzuki Shane a 6:39, Myself a 6:41 at 23.5 mph for 160 miles.
