so, last year when i first 'raced' ole walley the wall eyed wondertwit and i was on my gary fisher marlin and him on some road bike, we rode out from the mall together with steve, hoOd's friend, not mine so to speak. point being there was no official start on the mark time, but we all waited for one another and it's proven, not to mention i told hOod that we must shake hands before the race to be men about it and so as to put the bs in the past or to not prolong the bs any longer...my mistake.
remember when i posted that all numbers were exchanged? well at 8:01 i was less than three blocks from the mall (driving) and called BD. no answer. showed up at mall and saw hoOds truck. i had to put my bike together. i had no contacts on for the race (glasses were in truck) and saw two individuals waiting on bikes, i'd have to guess hoOd and who knows.
i go about cleaning my bike and making sure everything is tight and take a quick warm up strooll around the outter loop pf the mall. i was supposed to pass the guys on my way back to the truck or so i thought but nothing. it's now been about ten minutes since i first arrived.
anywho, i ride around by his truck and out on the road and back to the mall. i almost headed out and then went back to the parking lot and waited for another ten minutes. nothing. so i start heading out anywho, thinking that now he's gonna say 'well we were supposed to start at 8., yadda yadda yadda and that this was not going to be a waisted day for me and so i rode out, slowly. i had to pee and stopped in at a valero on westpark and something, across from a citgo which wouldn't let me come in with the bike and so no restroom usage there.
it should be on camera a the store and the time is now about 8:37 i think it was. btw, i tried to call steve again at around 8:30 but no answer. i have the time and number called on my phone in case he denies it both times. he was supposed to be there.
i checked as i was gonna time myself from the store and so i reset my computer.
i go out, i ride the route and about halfway through on the something loop, the extra four or five mile loop that completes the fulshear route, i see hoOd but didn;t recognize him and asked 'is this the fulshear route?" i knew it was but just wanted some confirmation. he is coming towrds me on the other side of the road, btw and says "go straight'. i realize who it is and say in surprise "HEY, WTF?"
anywho, i keep going and run into him again on the same loop about halfway through and as i look up and realize that it's him (we were pretty close to each other and remember, i have no contacts in < i can see for the most part very well>) aand as i do he opens his punk mouth which has a smirk on it aas if he won already and said "now don't phuckin' turn around.", all rude as if he was smokin' me. i stopped dead in my tracks and let loOse a 'Phuck you, you phuck, i didn't leave the mall until 8:30, you phuck!!! i was very pissed off as one might can imagine. he started to act as if he was going to turn around but he could tell by my anger that it was not in his best interest.
i realized toO late that there were family cyclists all around and that they were shocked. ooops.
well, that's about all i'm gonna say about it..although i will add that when i got back, his truck was still there and no one was around...no BD or anyone.
glad about that a si really am not into fighting but my hypocracy only goes so far and if you all only knew....that's another story.
i was really pissed off by this time and just left.
i ghave some really goOd news in which came out of this day and it involves swcc, a local cycling club. it's a really coOl story but i'm gonna shower and rest and get a beer and i'll let you all know.
hint: newest club to soOn be team member i hope and it is quite dramatic!!
okay, i'll let you in on the beginning. i was on my way back, just past the shell, making a right turn onto 359 or whatever coming from the loop, from behind the shell and i was struggling. i saw a group ahead of me and thoought, 'i gotta draft', so i tried but nothing was really happening. then, out of nowhere, a swcc guy comes up from behind, he was on a look, and as he quickly passes me says 'get on my wheel', solidly and with an almost commandable respect. i do. we catch his crew, all swcc guys and two girls. it's on from there. i revive and we travel pretty dam fast. thank gawd!!
i'll be back.
