Nassahegon - the players - crash test brothers, Loyd, Ed, dave, natch (arms freshly dipped in mudd), cgm, trouble and myself. 5:30 start ehhhm try 6:30 - CGM dismanteled his lefty rental bike and loyd and I gave him a hand - bravo!! So within 50 ft from the car our group has already split up 3 ways. 1st 2 groups rejoined on the logging road and we were looking for fresh tracks. Following the blue - nice single track and some technicalities. Lots of re-tries on this ride and many a nemesis climb. Trouble decides he will sneak into the pole position at the front of the back and pulls off a beautiful face plant move "trouble!" Natch has already taken a beating on several?? whipeouts - your not in kansas anymore. The whole group is together again as we head for the road up one bastard of a hill climb - lots of grunting, swearing, throwing of the bike, throwing up, gagging and oh but of course some WALKING. Some fast single track and double track kamikaze downhill style. Found the nemesis rock garded crash test I and I dabbed - next time!! Off to the first sik downhill - I finally made this hill without ending up in a pile with dave thanks to crash test encouragement and sense of false hope. To the next SIK downhill - I may have made most of the technical uphills but there is now way I was riding the rob ayer near death hill. Crash test I rides it CLEAN - adrenaline anyone?? Crash test II made the drop, crashed then crashed some more but at least he attempted it. Back to the car in the dark - beers, then (insert mini golf recap here) Loyd and I had dinner at prospect cafe where lisa#10 / slutty lisa (SL)/ amanda - (multiple personality) waited on us and provided quite a bit of entertainment - I think loyd got her # when I left the room. She told us that she cant eat during her 7 hour shift and I personally think thats probably a good idea!! bastard... Off to S&S for some great music and more carbo loading. Rookie and lisa#8 were the only additions. Rookie and I were talking shit about everyone - as usuall - but didnt reallize that we were standing DIRECTLY under the microphones - they were recording the show on mini disc. It gets better - we were kind of ranking on this girl we normally play pool with (just for fun) and now realize that its the recording guys girlfriend and he now has this on tape (no Joke). I think we also were talking about one of the band members X's and calling her a crack whore (just for fun again) - oh well - who needs friends when you can make enemies soooo easily - Look for recap tomorow titled - Steve & sullys bar fight recap (written from hartford hospital I assume) - rookie bring that mag light. PM - rating 4 thermos's full of hot nemesis hill puke. Some great riding was had at a good pace and no techs! PS Loyd - Did you make it home?? LISA!!!!#1 what happend - I was waiting in my car for an hour ready to give you sex & drugs as promised?? What did you take a dirt nap??
