The announcement was made last night....Next Tuesday will be the final
official Tuesday night race of the season. Barring severe weather, we will
gather at the usual place at the usual time and partake of the usual
racing. The important difference will be that there is a prize for the
winners. As always, it is totally worthless and simultaneously infinitely
valuable. The "A" riders have raced for the Pink Slipper for over twenty
years, and the names of the winners have been engraved in semi-durable
ballpoint pen on the heel and now on the sole of the famous footwear. Who
will be the winner this year ? Will it lead them to fame and fortune and
contracts with big-name Euro teams ? Will there be drug scandals ? Will
whole teams show up to support their chosen team leaders ? Stay tuned to
this list-serve, as trash-talk (fun, I hope) and exposed plotting, as well
as local cycling history come out in the build-up to the final
showdown.........
Meanwhile.......Tuesday night Cyclocross practices will begin at Swan
Cycles the first Tuesday following the race for the Pink Slipper. More
details will follow as we approach the date.
