Unofficial Rules-Guidelines we invite you to follow (anyone not adhering to the guidelines will be forced to ride a unicycle at next year’s Savannah Century)
· Overall Pace b/w 19-23 depending on winds and terrain
· Double Pace line – No ½ wheeling your partner*
· No openly public nature breaks – hide in bushes or behind tree – We are not in Europe nor are we pros– no peeing from the saddle
· Helmets are to be worn at all times this includes Fixie riders. (Anyone not wearing a helmet will be reminded politely of their safety, made fun of behind their backs, anonymous phone call to their parents about their safety violation, and have to wear bright orange jump suit that says SAFETY VIOLATER in large bold black font)
· No profanity, obscene gestures to aggressive cars, or aggressiveness towards other riders
· All Attack zones will be announced prior to ride and begin with whistle blows
· All will re-group after all attack zones except the final attack zone of the day
· Nature break 30 minutes into ride
· You do not have to participate in any of the sprints in attack zones or final sprint
· All who show up get one point for participating in ride
· Sprint points only go 3 deep; attack zones= 3-2-1; final zone = 5-3-2 (Honor System)**
· Points only awarded to those that sign in and who are nice and unselfish
· Sag wagon (when applicable) is not responsible for lost or left items at end of day
· Store Stops will be announced of when and where during pre-ride meeting
· Throwing trash on ground during ride is punishable of up to but not limited to total banishment from cycling community, snarky anonymous emails, and reported to our local cycling Assistant D.A.
· Anyone getting dropped from the 19-23 pace can drop off from ride and ride home on their own or jump in Sag wagon (when applicable)
· Anyone volunteering to drive sag wagon will receive free entry to 2011 Tundra TT event and 2011 Brasstown Bald Buster Century event and will win the afterlife TDF 8 times in a row
· Ride steady like the rain, keep pace like a train, and when the whistle blows bring the pain
o * ½ wheeling = going a little faster than rider next to you causing them to push a little harder and faster, then you go a little faster again and your partner goes faster to align beside you, ultimately bringing the pace of the group up above designated pace.
o **Honor System = Top 3 riders decide amongst themselves who was truly first, second, and third by being honest and admitting immediately when they got beat. Any unsettled arguments will be settled with the sacred coin flip facilitated by Barrett, Grubbs, or Askew. Loser of coin flip automatically gets free lead out at next event by Barrett, Grubbs, and Askew. All whiners will have to ride next event with tire inflation of 50 psi.
This ride is in no way, shape, or form an organized or sponsored ride. No one is in charge. Although the group itself may express or exhibit specific norms, No one single person is responsible for you except you. You are on your own at all times and expected to obey all traffic and road laws. Any one caught not obeying the road and traffic laws at all times will be immediately reported to our local Assistant D.A., summoned to pick up all trash on both sides of little neck road, and repair the train track crossing on Old Louisville road at their own expense.
We are also accepting donations for prizes. if interested let me know
This Wallace Spencer guy, come on Mitch, what are you making me do here Sarge? 5B? Give me a break. I Googled this sandbagging Cat 5, and found about thirty pages of race results in the European Tour.
ReplyDeleteIt's widely understood in elite cycling circles, primarily in Europe, where he's considered a sandbagging Cat 1. Listen, this guy logged 1456 miles last month, 90% race miles in the Pyrenees. By the way, he's
already sold the orange vest to Michael Jordan (goes with his orange stripped tights) for an undisclosed amount and the shifters are on eBay for 30K said to have been owned by a famous German one day
racer that has won the Paris Roubaix like a Gazillion times. Anyone check this Spencer guy out at all? Maybe the solitary red brake cable like tube feeding directly into a large vein in the crook of his right arm
aroused a smidgen of suspicion, also the large enema bag (disguised as a common seat bag) full of some type of fluid, the color of iron ore, pumped through the tube by some injector like device every time
he dropped down into his 11 tooth cog. Then he simply rode off like Glen Sanderfer on his 150HP Japanese nitro rice burner. Really Mitch I'm not trying to imply anything here, you know how skewed I some
times get when I sense an injustice or impropriety. I become hysterical and irrational and make improper judgments about every little thing. So it's probably nothing, you know, nothing at all......Mac
