WBL #3

This Saturday the WBL takes to HHI for the:




Paris Hilton Rock Your Sexy Bicycle Tour: Our dear friends of HHI are bringing SEXY BACK!



Sponsored by Road Fish Bicycle Shop (The Savannah’s WBL's first official sponsor!!)



If you are too sexy for your bicycle, if you are too sexy for your jersey, if you are too sexy for your Camelback, if you are too sexy for a group ride, if you are too sexy for your helmet, if you are too sexy for your bibs then this is the ride for you! Bust out your $10k bicycle with the $8K ceramic ball bearing hub full carbon wheels, platinum water bottles, and your solid gold frame pump. Who cares if the gold is too soft to make the pump actually function! It is all about looks this weekend. Go ahead and Rock your Louis Vuitton saddle bag with your custom lamb skin Italian hand stitched Gucci bicycle gloves. Those full leg bib tights made by Assos for a mear $650.00 are the norm this weekend so wear 'em with pride. Together we will all make Paris Hilton proud as we take to the streets of HHI with style. After the initial strutting of the sexiness the battle will begin this weekend and it is serious.





The gloves are coming off this weekend regarding sprint points and the Prince himself Vince. All Pro 1,2,3 men and all A category Nestor cup racers will be eligible to sprint for points this weekend. The Pro 1,2,3's and the infamous Nestor Cup A's have been calmly waiting in the deep forests of Pine Barren sharpening their cogs. The anvils have been out as the blacksmiths of Quality Bike shop, Road Fish, Bicycle Link, and Perry Rubber have been creating, shaping, and pounding steel for special 66 tooth cogs for these men to come out and do battle this weekend. Vince-the-Prince will have his hands full as deals will be made, alliances broken, and all out war in this series runs its' course amongst the herd. We will have cash payout 3 deep for the final sprint. The last rider across the line gets a free cup of Joe. Michael “Slam Dunk” Jordon won it last weekend. Get ready to track stand at the line for this cup of Joe.



Some will triumph and some will perish, but all will walk away with honor after this Saturday's battle comes to a close...



Josh “50-caliber” Barrett, Richard “Mein Kampf” Distlerath, Greg “54x10” McGlinn and the Robson-Forensic gang are hosting our next Savannah WBL. Thanks to Mac McWeirdo for letting us grace his locale.

WBL #2 results and overall standings, etc

Well a bunch of us squandered away another perfectly good Saturday riding our bicycles around for several hours.  Not expecting much of a crowd due to the other rides in area, Jared and I were shocked at the huge turn out.  Always good to ride with friends on a sunny Savannah Saturday.  The riders signed in and were briefed on today's operation and then took to Bull Street like a bunch of Bulls.  All was pleasant and great until the whistle blew at Black Creek.  A gap was instant but a solo victory was not to be . . . as the rolling hills proved to change the dynamics for these flat-landers.  As the lead-out took shape, it was Vince the prince that rode like a bat out of hell to take out the first sprint without ever looking back.  Blain bring da Pain and Greg the powder keg cleaned up the rest of the podium spots.  This set the tone for the day with a lot of planning and cahoots.  As if we were on a pirate ship on the eve of a mutiny with Vince the Prince as our captain everyone was plotting and planning on how to take this ship and the captain down.  The crew manned the front of the lines and held it together as we worked in unison against the wind making our way towards the dreaded Crosswinds sprint. 
Like a prisoner wearing leg chains and hand cuffs, our Captain was chained to the ship and the crew was not letting him go let alone out of site.  As Vince the Prince waved his sword at us and dared us, Blain brought the pain to all as he laid down the gauntlet and established a huge 500 meter gap!  Greg kept his finger on the button ready to release his cannons but stayed cool under pressure.  As The ship started to go down and taking the captain Vince the Prince with it, a lead out finally formed in the final witching hour as Blain painfully surged past the 1 k and only had 800 meters left.  The crew suffering from scurvy, dehydration, and cramps was down to 5.  As the crew started to come apart at the 500 meter mark the prince grinned at the crew and let his legs explain why he is the captain of this ship and departed solo attaining an instant gap.  Blain now in pain and seeing the finish line passes the 200 meter mark with a handful of seconds to the Prince.  . . .  In order to show the entire crew why today he is the Captain and no one else, Vince the Prince put his sword into the last Hold out Blain and took the sprint with authority within the last 100 meters. 
Greg had enough black powder left in the keg to stay with the Prince for A podium spot as did Joey BRUCE Lee that also crouched like a hidden dragon behind the Prince for a podium spot. 
It was shortly after this, that the ship docked at the Zip'n'go GasCo port for some R&R.  The Prince subtly started talking trash as he apologized for not going fast enough!!  It was at this point that the crew came unglued and made vow to take their captain come hell or high water!
The final sprint began on Hwy 80 and was fast pace line with a lot of cat and mouse tactics.  The crew was all over the Prince and he knew it.  Once again the pain train began with Blain as he let his legs do the talking at 600 meters and no one had an answer or come back.  As the crew thrashed their Captain the Prince in the background it was Blain that took the gold in the final sprint winning 15 bucks cash and a medal!  As the Prince raced in anger Vince jumped one last time like a tired stallion he reared, bucked, and kicked but it was not enough cause Greg unleashed his black powder Keg and said sorry captain but it is pay back. 
Greg took second and Vince the Prince finished third in the final sprint.
All three won cash and a medal.

The gloves are coming off next weekend as Vince the Prince must be stopped.  All Pro 1,2,3 riders as well as the infamous A group riders of the Nestor Cup will be dusting off their saddles, oiling their cleats, and sharpening their big rings in order to do battle in Hilton Head next weekend.  The WBL goes on the road next Saturday to Hilton Head and will be hosted by our good friends from Hilton Head.  Details coming soon.
The winners donated the cash to help pay for a sag driver next weekend.  We are going to take that cash and next week's cash and see if we can pay for a sag driver.
