Redmond Little 100

It was a blast on Saturday!!! I couldn't believe how cute my friends looked on an old orange cruiser all decorated in pink. Everyone wore their pink shirts that Jane so lovingly made with Pretty in Pink as the team name with a high heel logo. Not only that but awesome names inspired by the Rat City Rollers! HELL YEAH! Izette was: Miss Elle (missle); John was: Onya Butz (on your butts); Jane was: Ima Whipya (Im a gonna a whip ya!): due to team problems we only had one so I opted to be pit crew/blackmail photographer.... I forget Hyun's name as he didn't wear his shirt. Hyun was crazy enough, fun enough, confident enough in his masculinity to wear a pink skinsuit that had "Hooray for Boobies" on it with "Boobies" down the legs. Then, the team put a sash around his 'rear' that stated "Princess". It was too awesome! Everyone looked great.

It was hard for the team to pedal the heavy bikes with regular "old style" pedals. It was hard work but they came in 2nd for all their hard efforts. They won the best costume award as well. This was against the League of Super Heros, the Irresponsible Parents, Gilligan's Island and White Trash Picnic. They looked awesome. Hyun looked cool as a cucumber rolling up to the rail and waiting just as if he was taking on a Friday night race. It was hilarious. They had great bike exchanges, great passes around other groups and hey - Jane even did a cyclocross mount during warm-up that tested that seat. Oops it broke... so they quickly fixed it and Hyun and her kept doing those mounts with no problems!

We hung around for the other races and they were just as hilarious with costumes as our team. The races were hilarious with the costumes... men in ONLY diapers. YIKES! Scare me... Byrne team did awesome against 'ride it like you stole it' but came in 2nd. The teams were even encouraged to do a running lap around the 'drome. It was great.

I even ran into people that I used to bike with, hang out with and so on as the Flying Wheels ride finished at the 'drome. It was quite hilarious and fun. So I chatted up a storm before I left for T town to hang out with my family for the weekend. My niece, great niece and great nephew are here from Wisconsin for a month and summer.
