A crusty P.O.V: CET Morph's Into Devo'lution

Cultural Enhancement Tour took a new twist today.

Why the last minute switch from one planned ride to another? Not sure, but I think it falls along the lines of sympathy for our fellow man. Or that's at least what the ambASSador was saying.

Why Devo'lution?

Get the meaning now. Yes that was CurbDestroyer's helmet for the ride. Yes he got several comments throughout the day. A couple of times he mentioned that the helmet was getting a little lift under it. Modification's will be made in the future to eliminate said problem.

The winds weren't to bad, yet. Kicking around 10+ mph for the ride to Bennetti's. Well ambASSador, karl's jr, b boy, and myself started from mi casa about 1/2 late. As par for any ride that b boy decides to join us on. The plan originally was to do our 'old' CET route. But things got changed and off to coffee then let CurbDestroyer make the rest of the route. (I mentioned to karl's jr. we were in deep poo for the decision made for reroute)

Rolling out of Less Scummit isn't to bad until crossing Old Noland. That's when the entertainment starts. If you like climbing. Due to the fact that Ricky Road has several kickers at 15+ degree. Not long ones mind you just short sweet and to the point. The very pointed end at that.

After grabbing a joe for all of us but karl's jr.(he was on the I'm not participating in what you assclowns are day today) Of course a picture is worth a thousand words...

The true adventure didn't begin until we crossed the bridge..

Unfortunately after crossing the bridge I don't have evidence of what occurred next. As we took a left turn 4 very large St Bernard's decided we looked like some kind of play thing. As I charged toward down the road I noticed it ended into a gravel circle with no outlet. In the meantime CurbDestroyer was laughing his arse of about chickens. Well his plan was for us to see about 20 chickens that are usually out. Not the case. After a little panic situation of flight or fight, my choice was flight the whole time. We circled the wagons and went right back at them. FUN TIMES!

Down the hill we went then a right turn lead us right back to the street we could have taken and saved some miles and a near death experience. GOOD TIMES. The next turn leads us to Swope Park Zoo.

The next move was still unknown. These things happen when CurbDestroyer has time to think of 'routes'. We roll out of the park to miss all the congestion. Ton's of people were going to the zoo today. Word has it they are rushing the polar bear exhibit. Yikes, haven't seen that many people rushing to the zoo like that in years.

Our next destination is finally wrangled from CD as we grill him to where the hell are we going? Here is CD deep in thought were he want's to drag us...

The Trolly Trail to the Plaza is decided on.

After some complaints about 'wasted' miles on the gravel trail we decide to jump on the road to make up time to our new destination. Midwest Cyclery, closed on Labor Day but open to those who have the power. A quick stop was promised, but the thing not mentioned was that there was some adult beverages stored there.

Oh the peer pressure was just to much to take for all of us except for karl's jr. who was obstinate to our request's for just one beverage. Well one beverage turned into several for all of us. Then well the plans got blurry...

CurbDestroyer Plotting Our Next Move...

Lunch time. Well it was lunch, we were hungry, so off to Grinders... Pizza & well what washes down pizza better than beer. Not this time, CD was the only one to kill another brewski. Full of pizza the long decision to call in back-up or suck it up and ride home. Well we suck it up, ride towards mi casa. The headwind was sooo brutal. Beating us down, the heat kicked up, the beer and pizza taking its toll on all of us. Then CD came up with a 'new' plan. I live at the top of the hill, I will take you guys home if you like. Well we liked..
