Sunday December 3, 2006- I meet TJ Platt at Dennys in New Ken, for some hot coffee and a hearty breakfast. We sat and talked about his new job at Trek of Pittsburghs Cranberry store and came up with a game plan for the Dirt Rag Punk Bike Enduro. We both had the same idea, have a good time and socialize! Sporting our new lounging attire (made by yours truly) we headed off to the Dorseyville Fire Hall for the start of the 2006 Punk Bike.
There where the many many "costumes" to be seen there as usual. Such as...
Evan Perone as Santas Elf.
Topher, whos another extremely fast singlespeed racer I have to battle with in the mid-atlantic super series, was there in some real retro gear like his tights that looked like jeans.
How about this Guy, any guesses? Yes Its me on the left but you may not realize who the other guy is. Oh you'll know who he is once I give you his name, still not sure? Ok his Name has been all over the bikes Lance Armstrong used in the Tours and its probably on your bike if its a Trek or Gary Fisher. Now you got it Keith Bontrager himself! He showed up at the Trek of Pittsburgh Store to borrow a Demo Bike so he could participate. How cool is that
Anyway a good time was had by all, I'm sure, as the support van cruised with from stage to stage handing out points for the top finishers. The ToP van was following the Dirt Rag truck to each stop carrying some spare parts, tubes, tools and a tire pump. Thanks ToP. Unfortunaly TJ and I cut out a little early but we both enjoyed the day just as these people did.
