Dave Mayer's Top Sport Stage Race "Report" (helps if you get to the start on time!)

 

Dave Mayer's "report" from Top Sport Stage Race- 35+1/2/3

 

In lieu of a race report, here are my top ten moments from the race.  If I haven't offended those up there with me enough, I apologize.  I will get you next time.

 

1) Andrew driving us to and from the event, paying for the gas, housing us, and feeding us.  What an asshole :)

2)  Steve's hairy legs.  Whenever I rode behind him I could swear they looked like twin Alfs

3)  "guest riding" in the 45+ road race after missing my start.  It was weird though - in the cat 3s they do a junior roll out before the start.  In this category, they test everyone's pacemaker

4)  Eating and drinking every last damn thing in Mark Dame's house

5)  Getting passed by JB on the time trial course even though he started 8 people behind me

6)  My 'reverse lead out' helping JB get 4th in the circuit race.  I did it for my country.

7)  Jerome and his regaling us with stories of a fugitive he once dated.  

8)  Jerome showing us his scar and explaining it was caused by exploratory surgery needed to find a toothpick he accidentally swallowed.  From now on, after all the stupid things I do I will have this story to point to and say "well at least I didn't swallow a toothpick"

9) Driving in Eric's M5, a car which has 3 more tailpipes than any car I will ever own.

10) The "Margs".  'Nuff said.
