Jonathan C. Puskas
I take great offense at those of you who have
inappropriately designated Mr. Larson as a sandbagger.
Let it be known to all that it is I, Jonathan Puskas
(co-conspirator of Half-Fast Velo) who earned the
rightful title of "Golden Sandbagger" from the loyal
Knights of the Cross Crusade after using a DeRosa CCX
bike in the pits of the "C" Category State CCX
championships last year. I am fully-sponsored by my
spouse and two dogs.
I have no intention of letting my Title be muck-raked.
Avast ye and know that I only intend to relinquish my
title to the "Vice-Golden Sandbagger," Mr. Kevin
Thompson.
Until such time as the Knights see fit (and confirmed
through the consumption of golden hops from a wooden
shoe), all shall cease and desist of such ill-directed
sandbagger shenanigans.
Regards,
Puskas
P.S. I work less, I've been doing hill intervals, and
I probably ride more miles than Mr. Larson...He's
still going to be faster. Who cares? Enjoy the
journey!
