(sorry, Curtis Mayfield, not you guys… )
Because there is clearly nothing the hell wrong with these three. These three are on the top of the gaming faces. They are feeling good, super fly, secret stash… They have been pushed (bikes).
Wow. I really am in a silly mood. And I don’t know where this post is going. It’s certainly not going in a pyramid that’s for sure.
Because it is kind of hard to “interview” a friend. And Laura, our next lady crossing, is a friend. So it’s kind of hard to make her into a story. And actually, because Laura is a complex and interesting friend, all the more difficult.
So let’s keep it tight.
Laura is waiting for a sweet custom frame to arrive from the states so, this time around, she didn’t have a bike to ride. Last time around she and Jess were absolutely rad friendly training buddies for the DDCX series. This time around, she literally rode Blakey’s hard rubbish build from Blakey’s house straight to the race and then just got up and got bad ass dirty. Once, twice, third time the lady.
Last night she also got some sweet love from her helmet which allowed her to remember that the ground is hard and too much punch will give you a hangover and make you stack your bike. Take care out there lady!
So I called Laura yesterday to find out about her ride and it was super cool super fly here she stands, and I have to say – in the end I forgot I was interviewing her and trying to think of a good angle, and just catching up on news and stuff that I probably would have got riding one Thursday or so back in the days when I used to have good Thursdays.
I reckon Laura maybe took this photo. One other good day some time ago.
Her last words are my last words:
“Sorry, did I hang up on you? Well, I better get going, but all I have to say is CX is the most fun I’ve had since I was a little kid :-). Good luck with your computer. Nice to briefly talk.”
Oops, probably you didn’t need that last bit.
Please go listen to that song again. I have.
