2010-10-30 Sat - Halloween Cyclo Cross "Muddy Hell"

Very nicely written.

As we couldn’t find a flyer for the evening, here’s a picture of the course being built. Apparently, one Caspar “Get orf my laaand!” Hughes, an eighth-generation townie from “that there Laandan” who has never so much as eaten a salad let alone tended a window box, laid claim to being able to drive a tractor and so was put in charge of building the course. This is the inevitable result, an overturned 4.5 tonne earth-mover. It seems that, true to form, farmer Hughes leapt off mid-collision and sprinted from the scene, stopping only to grab his starbucks skinny-mocha cappuchino and his iPad that he was using to tweet his progress only minutes earlier. True story…
