Scum City's Ace Smasher



SCUM CITY'S Ace Smasher Jay Karp!!
Jay has joined the Category A this season. He has jumped off to a smashers welcome and keeps refining his speed and technique with each race. Here are pics of him shredding the course at Neocx #4 in Stark/Kent.

Big Ups to John Proppe!!






For those who wish to step beyond the yellow tape and commit to the Cat 1 NEOCX arena know of the challenges they face. Paul Martin and Matt Weeks are often dueling for 1st place. This week however has been different. John Proppe with a heroic blast of speed beats Paul Martin at the line to claim a huge "W". Way to go John!!

The Hero of Canton....

Well, to my two readers if you need me, I won't be at todays cross race. I've had nagging pains in my hip for the last couple weeks and figured to take a day off. Now mind you I'll be doing important things like fixing my kitchen faucet and going to Sams Club. Maybe Home Depot if there's time. With me there not dragging the singlespeed division to a boring halt the team should do just fine. Hell better than just fine those guys are flat out teeing off sometimes.
Race season 2011 has been a total wash for me personally, but really great for the team. My only concern is if I'm gonna be fast enough to make the team next year! I'm making some changes today here in the blogular universe in the Scum City Way to allow for a lot of team members to contribute up in here. I promise you they're better writers then me, and have much better grammar. So with that I'm off to peruse the intertubes for bikes and bike related things. Thinking about getting gears next year, that might help a little.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna lip sync for my life....

Looks to be a muddy one tomorrow, that might offer me absolutely no advantages as I continue my quest to glory. And by glory I mean a steak sandwich. Maybe a genesee cream ale. Spent the morning doing what any self respecting guy would be doing on a saturday, moving someone. Also considering my racing helmet. You'd think I would have considered this before I started racing but that's just not how things work in my tiny tiny world. I'm leaning heavily towards Giro but I'm unsure what to get. Any suggestions out there?

The cooler weather has made all the difference in the world this week. I'm not a 90 plus degree sorta guy. I'm a 30-60 degree guy. Oh well, I'm running out of steam but really looking forward to tomorrow. I hope my two readers can come out and support us!

It's early as shit, do you know...

Where my sanity is? I was in bed at 930 last night. Beat to shit, eyes closing at 9. My two readers might be shocked to find out that this actually makes me happy. It means my body is getting into winter mode, and that means I"ll start getting some sleep for the first time all year. Can't wait for Sunday, I promise to at least finish this race. Let's be honest, I'm gonna suck. I will finish my race, I promise. Keep telling yourself that fatty, and it might come true. I'm hoping to get some pics to post of the guys next week so my readership knows who to stalk. Ok, I gotta pay some bills, enjoy your friday. Hit me up if you want noodlecat.

I look like dog vomit for those of you playing along at home.
