Burnin Confusion

Burnin 2010 has me scratching my head for 2 reasons.

1: How can I flat 2 times in one day when I have only flatted once in the last 6 months? I got no sympathy from him, and I deserved none. I suck and am totally bummed I let down my team.

2: DRJ's "secret weapon" is unethical and should be banned. On my first lap coming up the first double track climb, I noticed someone off the trail holding his junk. Racer pissing, no worries. But roll past and the guy has his shorts totally off and not pissing. I pedal faster. He says "I was just waiting for my friend." I pedal faster. I flat and said rider rolls up behind me while I am nursing a low tire, trying not pinch flat again. He introduces himself and says "I was taking off all my clothes to surprise my friend." I intentionally crash off the trail-- scared-- and luckily he rolls away. At the start/finish area, I try to protest. A DRJ rider laughs and says that was our "secret weapon." I pedal away and think I may never feel safe in the woods again.

For the record, if you are my friend or my enemy, please do not surprise me on the trail totally naked. I do not like surprises.

In other news Glasglow Mafia put on his race face and took no quarter.Shot carbo loaded at breakfast and looked relieved when it was over so he could celebrate with ice cream.The shirt this year is a tribute to LedZepplin. How can you go wrong with that? Well done. LedZepplin made the world a better place and now my chances of scoring a dime bag at the arcade just went up.
Ploch was having flashbacks of BH being on our team and started the "mind games" first thing in the morning. I gave him a cookie as a peace offering. It didn't matter because the "secret weapon" was revealed shortly thereafter.
Last year I was confused by the surfer at Burnin. This year it was the rare Trail Show Pony wearing mascara.

I noticed that Schottler was drinking Bud Light. I would suggest that he, and basically everyone, start drinking this. It's what all the beautiful people are drinking now-a-days.

Holy shit I forgot all about Matthews up the climb. He told me the story as he was waiting for Mr. Albert (mr. nudity himself) and jumped out on you instead. He said you were a bit concerned.

Congrats on the buckle - you boys were flying out there!

I can empathize, the only thing I can think of that might scar you more is a half-naked guy wearing fake giro pink.
