How to Smash Pumpkins- Field Report

Exhibit B: Master Blaster...













Exhibit A: Like School on Thanksgiving...



















There's been some discussion in the blogosphere about how to jump over barriers in Cyclocross without looking like a fairy. This is a well known issue that I believe is getting plenty of press, so I feel no need to jump into the fray. (See the link to "really lame stuff about cycling" in the side bar)

In fact, what we should be more concerned about is how to handle a rotting pile of pumpkins whilst coming out of a left hand turn with grace and aplomb. And by aplomb, I mean in both senses of the word. Let's just cut to the chase here. Putting your foot down right in the middle of the pumpkin pile is just a disgrace, as we see here in example A. Identity concealed for safety concerns. Now, the way to go through a Massive Steaming Pile of Rotting Pumpkin Flesh is to take a fresh line and blast on through it like a man! Example B. Nuff said. BTW, congrats to BStan for taking 12th place. Fantastic showing! I will therefore not post the pic of you putting your foot down in the pumpkins!
