Kelley Acres Ride - 70miler

In the spirit of the holiday weekend Fast Freddie and I logged 70miles in the Cobra today. No bike riding from Kelley Acres. We headed to Taneytown, MD to catch some of our friends racing the MABRA Cyclocross Championships. It was an exceptional feeling to cruise over Harp Hill and get to enjoy the view.

We arrived at Taneytown Park to no less than 5 cars stuck in the muddy field. I happened to catch this SUV getting a tug out of the mess.

We got to heckle our friend Steve (middle) in one of the many muddy sections.

Steve- post race. FF was impressed with the pump up sprayer - car thing.

He pulled off a strong podium performance.

This is the start of the Women's Elite Race. Super Fast JMax of ATAC p/b The Bike Rack (and Kenda teammate on the road) is going after Arley from Hub Racing right from the start.

Cousin Jim showing how he can balance holding his bike. His bike is just a little dirtier than normal.

It was a great day to cruise around and hang with some friends. I'm looking forward to getting the bike back on the road next weekend.

All for now...

Back At It...

We've started up the winter training rides from "Kelley Acres"

This morning we rolled out on a quest to do "the prison loop". It was calm, sunny, and beautiful for about 10 minutes. Then it became more of an effort to stay warm for 3 more hours.

We decided to seek out some entertainment.
Frank's bike can't go by this place without stopping, even on Sunday morning.

Welcome to Funkstown. We managed to keep Heidi from doing a telephone pole dance.

In case your in the area....

Everything seemed fine at this point. Until...

The guard in the tower was not amused with this. Illana displaying some impressive flexiblity. We managed to get out of here and back on the road without getting shot.

Great day of riding with friends!

"Kelley Acres" Cross Featuring...

GamJams Podium Candy Pagaent Winner Lance Lacy and "Kelley Acres" appointed Podium Girl "Miss Guided" aka Heidi Goldberg

When asked to be a podium presenter a few months ago Miss Guided's replied "Yes! Yes! Yes! Dressing up and kissing are things I like to do". Then began the journey to find her a compatible podium companion.

GamJams wanted to some candy on the podium and we needed someone, the GamJams Podium Candy Pageant was born. Previous blogs will bring you up to speed on how Lance Lacy landed the top spot. Most people don't realize what is involved to secure a celebrity of his stature. He has needs, requirements really. Shortly after his pageant

victory I received an email of his needs (requirements). Here you go:

A bowl of 500 M&M's with all the brown ones picked out
2 gallons of ocean spray cranberry juice being served by snow white(the real snow white and not Stephen Wahl dressed up like her)
A box of HoHo's served on a silver platter and a fire works display each time I eat one
A white unicorn for me to get around on
A mermaid playing a Harp(must be attractive and not too fishy)
My own personal masseurs
Concord grapes fed to me by a half naked spanish tranny named Martha
KY jelly and fruit roll ups
A copy of wizard of oz the x rated version
Thanks

Everyone got a kiss from Lance

Easy to tell who made the podium
