an anecdote from union ground operations....

"After taking 3 weeks off cycling and devoting time to my wife and that bad running habit of hers, I've been struggling horribly on the last 2 group rides. I'm still running with the dog every morning and when it comes to doing 2 sports at once I guess I'm a dismal failure. Last night on the Thurs. Reston ride "The Man" stepped in to assist me. I did a long pull up this gradual hill, turned the corner and hammered to the top of the KOM only to get counter attacked and dropped on the decent as I was recovering. Then I got pinched at the next corner and I was hovering in a state of agony all alone trying to decide if I should bag it or keep going solo hoping to catch back up. That's when "The MAN" came to my rescue. The Loudon County Sherriff pulled over the 10-15 remaining riders up ahead for running 2 stop signs and riding more than two abreast. After lecturing them just long enough for me to catch up and recover he let us all go.  Thanks Gracious Servant and Protector of the People!"

never let it be said that your taxes don't go to further the interests of union cyclists.
