"Yesterday I was at the Cross Crusade race in Astoria Oregon and after racing Master B’s, I hung out and watched others. I found myself at the big ride-up/run-up hill during the regular B’s. This being the annual Halloween race, lots of costumed riders, beer hand-ups, etc (trust me - you just have to be there…) So here comes Sacha up the hill, dressed in old fashioned knickers, white shirt, vest. He stops, parks his personal Vanilla, drapes a folded towel over his arm and calls down the hill “Mr Stewart, Mr Stewart!” Mr Stewart arrives, Sacha takes his bike, does a valet run-up for him, wipes the bike down (another Vanilla, naturally), and hands it over. One of the classiest moves on a course I have ever seen."

The bike valets also did the uncivilized barriers.

yeah, Sacha's come a long way from losing his speedo in the woods at Johnson farm and doing a lap wearing nothing but long-finger gloves and a helmet. Of course, it was snowing that day.

what I remember about that day is you starting out with some kind of furry briefs. I come around a corner and there you are in front of me and all I can see is helmet, but crack and shoes. It took a while to come to grips with the fact that you were naked.

Those were good times, back when the crusade was small enough for venues like Johnson farm. Even though it's gotten huge, the attitude hasn't changed all that much.
