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
Now @JonahDiPasquale, now @icemanbb, now @barbchamberlain & @jennfax!
On @HyperboreanWolf, on @YYCbikewinefood, on @kui360 & @altaplanning!
#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!
