Here's one you might enjoy, from this year's Halloween 'Cross race.  I was dressed as a fairy princess.

I also took a beer handup on every single lap.

It is actually Cyclo-cross but the copious amounts of beer have strange affects :-o

Imagine this.... It's a cold night in late October.  You are riding a bicycle as hard as you can possibly muster for 9 or 10 laps of a difficult on/off road course with impossible to navigate obstacles (you have to ocassionally dismount and run with the bike).  This involves getting your heart rate to it's absolute maximum value for something like 45 minutes straight.   People along the course are drinking beer and heckling you the entire time.  The crowd is getting drunker and drunker as the night goes on.

Near the finish line, on each lap, there is a woman holding out a foamy cup of PBR.  As you ride by at maybe 15-20 mph, you reach out a hand to grab a cup of foamy PBR and chug it before you pass the race official's station.  If you bobble the pass, the heckling will greatly intensify.  Your mind becomes a foamy swirl.  You want the race to be over, but you just keep going as hard as you can.

It's Halloween, and you are surrounded by an increasingly drunken crowd, most of whom are extremely fit bike-racer types.  Many of the women are wearing "Naughty Girl" type costumes.   THIS IS FUN!!!   The woman in this photo is not wearing a naughty costume.

It might be a good idea for you guys to get together and pit somewhere past the four.

STEVE.....DUDE!!!!!
What has been seen cannot be unseen!  :-o
Maybe the truck should have been painted Dodge Panther Pink or Plymouth Moulin Rouge.
Looks like that color would go well with your outfit!  :evil:  :lol:  :-D

ROTFLMAO,
Gregg

P.S.
Paint code for that color is FM3.....LOL!  :-D

Stan,
Does "somewhere past the four" mean four miles East of SLC?  :evil:  :lol:  :-D
