Written (and nicely done) by one of the Seatlle 'Cross Stalwarts, Rich
McClung.
(Cut and pasted from the Washington racing Topica list). Look for the
retort from the Knights of the Cross Crusade....
Seattle Hath Won the "Grail Della Grunge" by Rich McClung
Verily, we were almost too depressed and preoccupied by our caramel lattes
to notice, but we the soldiers of the Seattle Metro Series hath emerged
victorious in this "Grail De La Grunge"; a war which hath torn families and
lives asunder. We did hear thy rumblings, Portlanders, of thy impending
rebellion even as we prepared to fight amongst ourselves at the battle of
North Sea-Tac in late Septembre. We didst then lay down our arms against our
brothers, and strode confidently into the dirty grounds of Alpenrose. And
yea, we were stunned by our defeat there, and we didst barely escape with
our lives, but we didst rally and emerge victorious in the fields of PIR
north of your faire city. Surely the gods of cyclocross did smile in our
favour, striking down Sir Tonkin's steed from under him. Discouraged not,
you Portlanders did strike back immediately, at the citadel of Tacoma, but
we didst parry your attack handily. Finally, though it was a majestic swan
song and valiant effort, you didst try again to overcome us at our beautiful
Lincoln Park. Again we drove our enemies away from our faire homeland, and
didst accept thy oaths of homage.
And now that it is over, may peace reign over our lands. May we join forces
to strike down thoth infidels who wouldst pray only to the pavement, or
prayeth only to the trails, and converte these infidels to the true path of
Cyclocross.
