Storming State Champs & Chopping Beef!

No, Heckawee did not return with any State Championship belts this year. Their presence was felt in the Masters 30+, 50+, and 4B races. The course suited the fast and technically skilled as despite the mostly frozen dry terrain, racers were regularly falling on their asses. Chief & Dave both finished 12th in their races and were as prepared as they could have been in the 33-degree and breezy lakefront course. Their performance came after the Chief had an unfortunate misshap with the waffle maker in the morning and had to go with the French toast sticks. No worries though, gamefaces were on. Gary finished a strong 40th--no word yet if he had any Polish Sausage handups in the sand.

So out beyond the Rockies on the Pacific, Coach Magnuson pinned on a number and proved that his time away has been good to him--8th place! Congratulations! He will be racing and recruiting more Heckawee on December 20th. Apparently, cyclocross season never ends in southern California due to the seasons never changing! Heckawee finds this to be an ideal match for the Coach as he never enjoyed the falling leaves or budding trees.

Heckawee still waits for pictures of the Coach in kit so here is another from the state champs:Beef chopping. Three Sox fans went searching for beef sandwiches in Wrigleyville after the State Champs and found a promising location that suited their tastes and desires. They found that looks can be deceiving, especially in Wrigleyville, and what looks to be a good lineup may not make it to June. This beef certainly looks good in the field:But not in jeans. In Wrigleyville, appearances are deceptive. But the fries are alright:

  2. They're coming!!!

    Let's cut the photographer some slack: After much deliberation Chief went with short-sleeve Defeet base layer with long-sleeve old Heckawee which doesn't quite stand out as much as new Heckawee and therefore blends into the field.

  3. My personal photographer, Eville Mike Dawson, was on assignment in Hermann, MO, so, no pics.
