Jack Frost Bend Over - The Hub Crawl Cometh

Yes you can say it. 8 inches of snow, alcohol and biking go hand in hand - the winter snow Hub Crawl of 09. We left the shop and did an urban mountain bike ride around Webster stopping at fine establishments like Hiene's Speakeasy:

Weber's Front Row and Cousin Hugo's. Riding in that amount of snow was intense! Part riding and part ice skating, all the while being pelted in the face with snow and freezing rain. The words "Rider Down" was common and comical - with Ron Clipp leading the crash parade in his effort to knock the rest of us down. "No touch" became "touch."

Highlights from the evening:
Waiting outside Kevin's house for twelve hours - making a snowball fight necessary. Riding through Blackburn park, seeing a Sherman tank riding down Lockwood (no Shit), and of course showing those stoned Webster bitches on "Suicide Hill" who has the big balls. There must have been about 150 plus people and a huge bonfire on top of Suicide Hill watching snowboarding shits slide down the hill thinking they were crazy. And then The Hub Racers showed up. Without a pause, down the hill one by one. The crowd freaked out (either because of us or they ran out of pot). Kevin took a nasty fall that had the crowd on their feet - and tore up his!

On my second run this kid popped out on the side by the woods and I moved into the middle of the hill where there were jumps - no good as I bit snow - which drew the loudest applause from the stoners on top. By the end - the stoners bowed to The Hub and our fifth of Jaegermeister! The biggest props go out to Ryan Hiene for not only riding down Suicide Hill with the Jaegermeister but on a fixed gear cyclocross bike! That was Master Says Faster balls out dope. The night ended like any good Hub Crawl (no I didn't puke) feeling good and tired.

Crossbike pimp out update: The cross bike took a huge step to being tricked out. With the help of my good Jewish friend Michael Rawitscher and a snow day, we put on the handlebars, stem and Spooky brakes.

For the help and use of the tools what do I get this bike racer who has everything including a custom Seven race bike... Hebrew!

Today I put on new brake cables, housing and bar tape. The bike weighed in a 19.12 pounds - with the heavy ass seat! Once I get the new seat and post - I think I will get this bad boy under 19 pounds - Hear that Rock! The cross bike is close to the end.
