Redemption (Story Posted)

Alto pushed back 1 week due to forecasted thundershowers. But WE RIDE TOMORROW: 4 HOURS!!

 The Royston Rumble 

(28 January 2012)

Phil Birthday Boy Gaimon showed no pity on an already shattered field and proceeded to bludgeon them to death in one of the more rancorous Final Attack Zones in WBL lore in this past Saturday’s Team Type 1 / Swagger Racing Royston Classic (January 28, 2012). Gaimon and his partner in crime, John Murphy, a WBL Bludgeon Master himself, showed they are both unrepentant and heartless bastards as they unleashed a torrent of vicious attacks that eventually ripped the stuffing right out of the contenders in the savage Gene Dixon Final Attack Zone. Just like its name sake, the Gene Dixon Zone is a bilious, bad-mannered bully and has caused many grown men to shed copious tears. It has a total of six hills in its nine long miles, any one of which can rip the legs right off a cyclist. And if that’s not bad enough, the final sprint line is at the top of the last hill, a wicked and evil incline that is sure to cause burning spears of lactic acid to lodge in one’s thighs and cause extreme howling at the top of one’s lungs. Oftentimes, inappropriate words are uttered.(Story now posted with complete results and Overall Standings—hit “read more” link below.)



Gaimon storms to glory!
