So after last week's critical mass, a few of us gathered at a local watering hole for some Durham Kool-Aid and food. The result of the evening was the first ever tasteless Bull City Cycling "Euro-Mullet" competition. The results are shown below in pictorial fashion. I think you all will be able to judge who won the highly coveted Trans Am Trophy. Rawk On!!!
As we gathered around Major for the monthly Critical Mass ride through downtown Phillip Baron took a moment to describe the accident on Pleasant Green and to say something brief about bicycling safety and Clive Sweeney's death. We then took time to observe a moment of silence for Clive, his family, and his friends.
With that rather somber beginning, the ride was a little lower-key than usual, though the rather ridiculous temperature might have put a damper on some of our enthusiasm as well. Chris, Dave, and I cruised around Durham with the diverse crew for a leisurely hour or so before adjourning to Bull McCabe's for some post-ride carbing. It was great to see all the people that came by after the ride -- there were probably 15 or so CMers there -- to enjoy a hot, humid night on the patio.
Brian also joined us, though he spent less time talking and more time grooming his euro-mullet. Some kids are just too cool for school.
I would have some pictures, but either Ali, JD, Brian, Erin, or the shop has my camera.
Until next month, keep rubbin' Major's nose!
