And that is precisely what the TERAD is all about! We designed the TERAD course, at great expense, with all the elements of the perfect race course. (Uh, if we could delete the stop signs and traffic lights...kinda like Left Lane does anyway.) I mean, think of it; we have several miles of long flat fast sections, a "crit" loop, and of course, the best final 5 kilometers in the Pensacola area for setting up the final sprint. Oh yeah, baby...it's TERAD tonight!!!
Last week saw Twin Six, Hurt Locker and Lounge Lizard (Eddie Sanders) attack with 5k to go. As the three bandits made the turn onto Spanish, Lounge Lizard slowed allowing Twin Six and Hurt Locker to charge ahead with about 3k to the line. As they passed under the 2k to go banner, Twin Six decided to do his impersonation of Tom Boonen in Paris/Roubaix. The boy, in both cases had the bit between the teeth. However, with about 500 meters to go a chase group of 3P, Crusher, Big Motor and Retro had Twin Six in their cross hairs. (Uh, that's a firearms term for those of you who aren't members of the NRA. Means; they had Twin Six as their target.) At about 300 meters, all but Retro had been jettisoned and the 1970's jersey wearing missile was in full launch mode and cleared for take off. He passes Twin Six, who was thinking, "This isn't what happened to Tom Boonen?!" and went on to take the win with Twin Six a close second.
What a great ride and good fun! Although at the post ride Kiss and Cry area, Twin Six was overheard to say, "Not to boast, but I think I could take him in a sprint." Retro lashed back, "Uh...hope not." Whoa...you heard it here first! Tonight will be a head to head rematch of the two big pistonned sprinters! We're talking some serious girth here! The fans are going wild! Don't dare miss this one!
So, come on out and enjoy some serious hammer time with the cast of unusual characters, including names like Bad Mayonnaise, Twin Six, Big Motor, Crusher, Retro and Gianni Bugno himself. That doesn't even include some of the support staff. Oh yeah, this is some serious fun! I mean, get real...with a name like Bad Mayonnaise it's got to be fun, right?! Well, don't miss your opportunity to become one of the COUCs. (We're always hiring!) Word on the street is for a possible Coolio sighting. Dude, that's worth the price of admission.
And it all starts tonight at 5:30pm at the Maygarden and Summit Staging Area and Launch Pad. (MASSAALP) Come on out!
See you out on the road,
Bob
