Tatum Not My Cup of tea

I heard MacDonalds puts mustard on their burger.

This is still true.

MTBNJ memories. Fun races, funny threads. Good results back in the day. 11th in a good field of riders.

You're sandwiched in between 2 M. Fennells, both 9 years younger. You did good. I was way down in 23rd, but probably raced on the fatbike that year.

Indeed. 35lbs worth of fatbike.

That was height of my racing "career". Hit by a car in 2013 and my 2015 results had me 29th. Fast fwd to back surgery in 2018 and I wouldn't even try beginner class now. Fun while it lasted! Good rides with good friends. Some of the best rides were the weekly cx training with Gozick, Spitz and Erndl. BTW, checking 2015 results shows you killied it Pat.

Ha! Right behind @Dave Taylor. We were having a nice chat until the final straightaway when he got on the gas.

Ah, Pat, always a great time riding with you. My favorite was the blue trophy girl.

I thought I had some podium pics but I guess not.

Good times. I miss that little race. But I have like 20 t-shirts to remind me.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective. For me good results being that I was only 9 seconds behind you. Worst results in a decade for you based on me being only 9 seconds behind you. Ha.

That was Myles, the English dude. You got me by 30 seconds!

2015 pre-race. Telling @SmooveP that we'll be swapping finishes this year because I'm fat. @Dave Taylor smiling quietly to himself he's going to chat up Pat until the final stretch, then drop him like a hot potato.

This thread piqued my curiosity, leading me to ask the eternal question: is Tatum my cup of tea? So, stopped by on our way to Hubershorne. Tatum was not my cup of tea. Tea is a hot or iced beverage while Tatum is a small park with nice trails. Really nothing alike at all.

it's not a bad place for SS, I get a good 15 mile ride if you include the road climb

 

[Karate Monkey]

it's not a bad place for walk.

FIFY

Wasn't too long ago when cross was boss at Tatum! @ChrisG, Doug, Chucky
And of course the Monmouth County National Championships.
