Monday Action!

Ol’ man Harwood returned for his first race after his crash from a few weeks ago and found himself in the break of the night in the masters 1/2/3 race and ended up finishing 6th on the night. His only teammate for the affair, Ryan, was most pleased to see the move form and roll away as that meant he could sell hot dogs for the entire evening. And by the looks of it, some of those boys in that field were hungry and as we’ve learned, bike racers love hot dogs. Some more than others.

Haywood hasn’t lost a step

In the 4/5 it was Dave and the Davettes, with Beth, Lana, MK47, Kira, and Deann all helping out. “I’m the baddest pimp out here, suckers”, said Dave before the race, “you see all these fine women in a perfect phalanx around me? That’s right. Big pimpin’!” No, not really, Dave’s about as cool as a fire. No class, like school on a Sunday. Anyhow, the gals had collectively decided to pitch in and help out instead of riding the women’s race just to help the old man out. How so very kind.

Despite the coolness of having a bevy of lovelies about him for support, Dave could only manage 4th on the night while one fellow swept every prime and the finish (upgrade!) and the rest of us were set upon by the merciless beatings of one Steven Burger, heretofore to be known as “The Ox”. Really, truly, that guy single-handedly walloped everyone right in the face with his relentless tempo setting. Respect! Late attacks by Kira and Deann helped keep the tempo up before the final sprint. Good times.

Burger, now serving everyone, everyone, step up for your whippings!

So, there are a boatload of PIR pictures at the ol’ Flickr site, and there are also pictures of the team’s other adventure this weekend besides Silverton: Reach the Beach. A handful of our folks jumped on with sister team Beer to ride out to see the big water. Sounds like everyone had an amazing time. Here’s a taste, but see the rest of the Reach the Beach photos here.
