books and some little race thing over at waywayanda this weekend maybe i should do some updating? yeah i guess so!!<br /><br />if you have race reports from either ssap or wayway or granogue send them thru and i will post them up.<br /><br />sunday saw the mayor, c-dubs, 2 beer tom and hawaiian mike out for a road ride. all was going well until c-dubs figured out where we were and how he could get home and started to turn the screws. i gave chase and caught on. the mayor well he just kept on trucking. as the heat rose off the pavement we continued to play roadbike games. hammering head down, tongue wagging, inches from the wheel in front of you as your vision blurs.....good times, unless your the mayor.....<br />he wanted a nice long social ride. well it was nice and long and it was social for a while....<br />suffice to say the mayor was displeased with our behavior.<br />a few cans of Dales made it better though!!<br /><br />so, get me some reports from the field!!!!!!!Darkhorse

member of team darkhorse singlespeed syndicate.<br />to, ah "lure" cdubs away from the heavy hitting IF team some concessions were made. apparently team darkhorse sent IF an empty growler, some old 26'r tires and some half full goo packs, in exchange darkhorse aquired the rights to CDUB, a lifetime supply of IF merchandise and a player to be named later. it seemed that IF lawyers had some "issues" with having CDUBS associated with the IF brand. there was "excessive liability" and "conflicting message".<br />this may be associated with CDUBS recent announcement that he would be flying off to belguim to embark on a secret training plan with non other than Tom Boonen himself. <a href="http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2009/may09/may09news2">this secret training regimen has recently come under some scrutiny</a>. we at the darkhorse are "looking into the matter". CDUBS assures us that he will be "fired up" for shen and moab. we have ah, no doubt....<br /><br />you can see the man above donning his new darkhorse kit. we asked him to refrain from wearing any IF gear due to legal issues and contractual obligations but it seems that those are not arm and leg warmers but actually full sleeve tatooes! we are investigating what ramifacations this may have on contrat agreements.<br /><br />stay tuned for more details as they become available!!Darkhorse Cycleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12920465387908841900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261108433768560903.post-85389956709615483972009-05-05T09:46:00.006-04:002009-05-05T10:03:19.573-04:00Team Darkhorse VS Waywayanda's rocksThe Campmor H2H race series kicked off this weekend with the black bear cycling waywayanda spring cleaning. el hefe made the trip down but due to a nasty bout of squirrel flu had to sit on the sidelines.
