The Wind and the Hammer (Madison: WBL 2013 # 12) The Overall Win for the 2013 WBL season all boiled down to the Final Attack Zone on the last event of the year, a 10-mile stretch of rolling, meandering and sometimes sharp-edged blacktop at the tail end of the Homer the Hard Way Classic. Homer the Hard Way is a 4-hour, 75 mile trek that instead of taking the path of least resistance, cuts in through a side door via a torturous, steeply-angled road. Homer the Hard Way is best suited for insensitive, unfeeling, uncaring, hardnosed Zealots that love to hammer and love to make others suffer. That would cover just about the entire pack. Heading into the final event of WBL 2013, Fletcher Paperweight Lydick held a slim 3-point lead over Thomas el Capo Brown and a 7-point margin over Big Frank Travieso. The three had been involved in a heavyweight slugfest for over six weeks and all three were bloody and bruised. El Capo and Big Frank had been trying to overtake Paperweight in points, plotting and planning and sharpening knives, but the young prodigy had not only defended his first place position, he had struck back like a sledgehammer. Paperweight wasn’t just dominating the Non Pro category, at times he was placing in the Top 5 overall in the Pro sprint. As a result, Paperweight’s days of flying under the radar were officially behind him—he was now riding with a bullseye on his back. February 15 was Big Frank’s and el Capo’s last shot at the young upstart and they were intent on bringing him down. |
