SURF CITY UPDATE: look out for the pee-wees

Is it Spooky Yet?
By olafvanderhoot in SantaCruz

1:04pm, Thursday before race weekend ... phone call from Soquel HS administrator to missPromoterSabineDukes prompts the following conversation:

ov: So, what you're saying is that some emergency in pee-wee football-land caused a last minute re-scheduling of a few pee-wee football games to the facility we've had rented for Surf City these past months?

missdukes: yes. you're cute when you're wordy.

ov: don't distract me. What will we do about foot traffic, and car traffic, and if we play "traffic" too loud during the C Women start...

missdukes: i'm sorry, you're going to have to take that skinsuit off if we're having this conversation.

ov: but, it was ... my lunch ride.

Moral of story ~

those who wish to attend this weekend's Surf City Madness (be sure to click on "latest news"), you will need to attend to the following strongly worded suggestions (dnc speak):

1. please park in the lot to your immediate left as you enter Soquel HS. Park down low and far away and let the pee-wee folk have the choice spots up close (no jokes about who needs the walk'ercise, please).
   
   
2. please don't litter, please be respectful of pee-wee folk and do not buzz them or make them feel at all uncomfortable with walking to their venue - the encircled football fields - that we don't use anyway.
   
   The pee-wee folk will be completely separate from us on SHARED PUBLIC LAND/FACILITIES.
   
   and that's so cool.
   
   Personally, I will find it very pleasing that so many pee-wee folk will be able to look out and see us pedaling our bikes around with such grace and power. I hope some electrolyte-Elite will lay something down dramatic and tail raising ... causing a few gasps of appreciation from the pee-wee passer's by.
   
   
   HOWEVER, as we all know ... what this is ~ is a great opportunity to work with the community to improve biker'ness understanding amongst them ... the poor heathens.

see you there.
