QUOTES OF THE NIGHT

"Slipperiest course in hic -- hic -- hictory."
--Robi, three seconds before mounting his bike to leave and crashing in the driveway.

"I'm scared!"
--Rodney, during pre-riding, pithily overcoming the language barrier to communicate the idea that Puerto Rico has no Fifth Street Cross.

"It's balmy!"
--Selene, still struggling in vain to overcome some personal barrier we can only guess at.

"It's gonna be big on YouTube!"
--Kuklis, in his drunken exuberance perhaps overestimating the appeal of his cider-pressing video.

"I hate when I forget underwear"
-tracey on her detest for the art of Commando

"Plunkett did this bike come with a curse"
-Scooter; on his 12th DNF on my old cross bike, which I traded a case of beer for.

"Did my dad destroy anything yet? He has a tendency to do that."
—Robi, upon hearing the glass Pyrex holding the sausages was shattered

"It was foam! F*&%ing Foam!"
—Selene, after being called out by Ray & Heath for not finishing her PBR

"Selene! Selene! Wait! PBR! Come on! Drink it!"
—Kuklis and Ryan, encouraging Selene to come back for a PBR, thus lessening Plunkett's chances of getting another one

"I just walked over to the hill, thinking maybe it was a good place to watch. And BOOM faceplant!"
—Brian, witnessing Scooter's over-the-bar exploit on the descent

"Now my knee that isn't supposed to hurt, hurts."
—Lath, post-race
