Last nights race was fantastic. All the favorites were there. More spectators every week. Special thanks to Sam , Candy and Max for coming to cheer.
I warmed up with early race. I normally need to do that. Most people need to get warmed up before going all out, I am the poster child for warming up. I am useless without at least 30 minutes of decent effort before a race. Last week I did the early race, yet it proved insufficient to get me though the later/faster race. Last night I was luckier. I brought the faster of my 2 racing bikes, the Guerciotti (pronounced Gore-cho-tee) over the Prince. I was feeling fine all night. I sat in a lot for the first half and tried to just stay with my marked man. By the halfway point I was usually in a better spot than he was. I was even able to take part in 2 attacks, and chase down some of Sound Solutions breakaways. One time Andy was chasing down an attack and I got on his wheel. It's true what they say ........when Andy is in the drops and pushing it , its tough to stay on his wheel as not only is he flying but he offers no respite from the wind.
Anyways, I was able to stay near the front and and hang in there, where I couldn't last week. So I felt good about that. Can't wait till the Mid Week 99 lap race.
Tonight I grabbed a bottle I have been saving for a few hours. I found it in the LCBO in the import section, although its Canadian, which seemed kind of weird. It has a pretty cool name. Dominus Vobiscum. I looked it up, it's latin for God be with you. That's fine. At a glance the label looks like a Death Metal album cover, but upon closer inspection it's just a cool font and a nice picture of a weird sunset. Its apparently brewed in Quebec. I have never been a good reviewer or critiquer other than to say something is shitty or something is awesome. I have to say this bier is the latter. If you enjoy Hoegarden , for sure you'll like this.
When I cracked open the pretty cool looking bottle, which looks like a tall stubby. It's aroma reminded me instantly of the smell of the Brick Brewery in KitchenerWaterloo. They used to be the only place to buy beer on holiday weekends, when the liquor and beer stores were closed the mighty Brick brewery was open.
Dominus whatever-its-called has a slight fruity taste and had slight citrus after taste that left me feeling somewhat like I had just drank a juice. Its very carbonated, but doesn't have too lively a head. The opposite of my favorite beer Duvel. Anyways, the shit tastes good.
God speed little doodle!
Heheheh... lively head.
