or bungle in the jungle? depends on who you ask.....
see below report from el capitan, george..
West Milford New Jersey....the now defunct Jungle Habitat...scene of the H2H race Rumble in the Jungle. Did some one whisper rocks!?!?!?!?
One of the toughest, and best courses I've seen this year. Kudos to Town cycle for putting on a class race, and the same for Team Dark Horse...we had some showing .
Representing the beginner class were Jim Boyd, and Curt McDermott who continues to podium, working himself ever closer to the Sport class. Curt had another 2nd place, and in a tight running for points in the series.
Sport singlespeed brought out Tony Bright....don't know where he finished...Tom Rossi, who looked stronger driving his convertible Miyata then he did in the rock gardens...Paul Livornese, racing in another time zone, but representing with a fresh growler of Dead Guy Ale in a glow in the dark bottle....impressive, most impressive!....and Sal the quiet man, icing 3rd place...gotta watch those quiet guys! Good job by all!
In the geared category were Chris Webb with family in tow...looked good as well....guy is always smiling...go figure...Kevin DeClerck in 4th place beating yours truly by 24 seconds...13 guys in 50+ category and growing yearly...
In expert class with two 2nd place finishes were Paulie Kolb, and Cindi Bischoff...votes are in....Cindi looks better in the Hammer shorts than Paul...sorry Paul, work on the Glutes!!!
Last race in the series is The Chain Stretcher...not my favorite race. Tough place to ride for sure, and lots of racers being scraped off the rocks last year. Been a long season, and everyone is looking forward to toning it down and enjoying some night riding, and some serious socializing.
Two dates to make note of....this weekend the 28th, Paul is going to lead a team ride at Lundy Manor, early, followed by a BBQ at his house. Lundy is about 50 minutes away from here, so as soon as we have a head count, we can make arrangements to carpool. He also has a hot tub, and all are welcome to bring a bathing suit for some post ride relaxation. October 25th, we will be hosting a team appreciation dinner at the shop, for team members, and spouses. We will have some nice surprises for the attendees, and will get an idea from the team if there's anything new for next year that you would like to see. Paul mentioned warm up jackets, and arm and leg warmers...awesome ideas. Let me know if there's any interest, and I will check into it.
