| SJRR at the top of High Cliff. Probably the best SJRR of the year. |
This ride was spawned by myself and MJD. After we'd completed our last race of the season, we had a strong desire to not ride with/like meatheads. So, we decided to create the Sleeveless Jersey Road Ride. Sleeveless jerseys are generally taboo among roadie circles, as are other things such as, toodlling around, goofing off, living a little, fun. Those are all things this ride is all about. And we do it on Tuesday nights as a little jab at the typical Tuesday night hammer-fest. The meatheads in this area have turned every weekday ride into hammer-fests; then they wonder why they don't have any snap come race day. But I digress.
This ride is all about goofing off and having fun. This last week, we raced up High Cliff Hill in our 53x12, we coast-raced down into Sherwood, we one-legged sprinted to one Stop Ahead sign and sprinted in our 39x25's to another. Then we took our jerseys off, hiked up our shorts to look like Speedo's and rode home down College Avenue. Really, most uppity roadies would've been offended, but we laughed for about two hours straight. It was simply marvelous.

| It looks that way on purpose. It's a joke. Mr. Knapp really is a great graphic designer! |
Mikey (far right) was taking a leak when the photo was snapped, so our team graphic designer, Mr. Knapp Photoshopped him in. I must say: Brilliant work, sir!
