Twas the night before #BikeSchool
And all thru the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse

The cables were strung past the headtube with care
In hopes that Prof @greg_loper soon would be there
#BikeSchool

The #BackRow was nestled all snug like some #Freds
While tweetstorms of #Tacos danced thru their #Threads
#BikeSchool

And @twittyboyd in her 'kerchief, and @egggman in his cap
Has just parked their sus, back from gnar #braap
#BikeSchool

When back on the track there arose such a snitter
They knew by the sound - the Fastest Hour on Twitter
#BikeSchool

Back on their bikes, clipped in in a flash
Feathered the brakes, avoided a crash
#BikeSchool

Sun shone on dust of the just-ridden track
Settling thick on his dry #Camelbak
#BikeSchool

Thru that dust cloud to their eyes did appear
A full carbon fattie and a fixie (one gear)
#BikeSchool

With sun-weathered pedallers so lively and quike
They knew in a flash, it must be @bikerly & @lovingthebike
#BikeSchool

More rapid than SRAM Eagles their enduro rigs came
And they whistled, and shouted, and called them by name
#BikeSchool

O'er top of the step up, thru the rock garden
Just like the roadies, the fuck up we'll harden
#BikeSchool

As mud clots that off the #CX wheels fly
When they come to an obstacle & jump up sky high
#BikeSchool

So up off the double those rad pedallers flew
With frame bags of goodies and a burgeoning crew
#BikeSchool

And then in a twinkling was heard a small ping
A mad grunted "Damn! I've broken some thing."
#BikeSchool

Then someone said "It's only a spoke.
You've 31 more. Keep shredding the stoke!"
#BikeSchool

So dressed in some lycra and non-kit type garments
They mashed off on flats, heeding their Garmins
#BikeSchool
#BoyWasThatAStretch

Bundles of gear on each Thompson post
#BikeCampers all, in search of a host
#BikeSchool

Their flasks, how they glinted. Their growlers, so very
Full of fine ale, waiting to share-y
#BikeSchool

Their laboring lungs, a forge needs such bellows
And the beards on some chins, yes sturdy these fellows
#BikeSchool

And smooth-faced others, no slackers these shes
Flowing sweet lines thru rocks, shrubs, & trees
#BikeSchool

All of fair face and nary a belly
Busy off shredding, not watching some telly
#BikeSchool

Happy and fit, right jolly and keen
Their travel mode modern, sustainable, green
#BikeSchool

From winks of their eyes and quick nods of their heads
@twittyboyd & @egggman knew there was nothing to dread
#BikeSchool

They stopped in a glade and went straight to their work
Setting up glamp, hot chicken jerk
#BikeSchool

And laying her finger aside of her nose
@twittyboyd snotted like some farmers blows
#BikeSchool

With that they all jumped on their steeds at full stride
And set off with cheers for a quick sick night ride
#BikeSchool

And I heard someone say ere they rode out of sight
Happy #Bikeschool to all, 8pm CST every Thursday night!
