Ride # 8 + 9: PARKS LAW // SUBURBAN CYCLES DOUBLE DOSE OF PLEASURE
A Changing of the guard. The first combo double ride in recent memory merged the Suburban Cycles and Parks Law Classic into one convoluted convalesces of inconveniences. Sometimes the best intentions and thoughts don’t pan out the way you’d expect. Mist greeted the bravest group of peddlers? Wait, wasn’t supposed to be warmer? It seems that was simply an echo of what was to come. A new crop. A younger generation. With an organization as old as the WBL, it is natural for things to change or evolve. People come and people go, but the stories live on. Stories of bravery, true grit, frozen digits, and frozen pizzas. Da Box will also be there to greet you at the end with candy, soap, and all those other vices to slow you down. This change is visible in the bright young faces of the new ZEALOTS. It’s palpable with their excitement. We are in the midst of being overrun by teenagers and slightly older scholastics. Not in eons have two rides been won by juniors who can barely drive. See Matthew the Crustacean Crabbe came into town with his money hungry teammate dashing for the Kash Adamski. The duo walked all over Gutcheck’s soul. Pummeled Preston’s Eye(s) swollen shut. Only the Grain Train, Chase on the case Brady, and PJ the Terry(iest) put up their arms in defiance. On the ladies’ side, Jenny the Thorn took the clean sweep. Now Alto awaits. Log jam in the overall for 2nd to 4th.
