He would have scored more points

if he landed on his head.

Nice to have Robbie Ventura join us.

Over 40 started.

This was a hot corner. So we had the fire extinguisher ready to go.

This root had Vince's name on it.

Keep the change.

Cross serenade

UFO

He hit Vince's Stump. His bottle jumped out of his VCS handlebar mounted cage, hit him in the face and knocked off his helmet mirror. That is one BAD ASS tree root.

The Henny Youngman Sisters

It would be a killer act if they told jokes.

This is no junior run-up.

A nice reward for all the pain endured.

Division 4 squad , Team Trojan / Penthouse Forum will be riding the Blue EX for 2010

Flowers/White never quite got it right but they get points for trying.

There was also this other guy on a Fuji who seemed to be creating his own course.

If he was with us then he was doing it all wrong. But if he was doing his own bandit and just happened to be using the same park , at the same time , then rock on Fujimoto.

A perfect night for a cross race

The Forest Preserve hosts many events during the week.
Volleyball games , cross races and many other gay gatherings.

I am not sure where to start.

The team needs to add the HOW TO CARRY THE BIKE drill
to the week night practices.

Give it up already.

Tramp Stamp

" That Wayne , he's such a fuckin' tool."

The Pusher Man

That is a very light front wheel. Tim must have one at any cost.

We had a nice turnout despite the weather ( 25 ). Some were forced to show up by Wayne.

That is not a tumor

Some of the best hand-ups you will ever see. Thanks to our sponsors , the U S Armed Forces, PYOC and The Napa Valley Wine Growers in a Box Association( NVWGBA ).

You can check out more of the Reilly Press bandit series pics at

And that is it. We had 9 races in 2009. Maybe even more in 2010.

I just wanted to say "Thanks" for all the cx races. They have been everything a cx race should be, tough and fun. Best of all are the people, both racers and fans.

Not many races can say they have a starters gun.

Forest Preserve races are the only ones I can think of.

Now watch ! For my next amazing trick I will give the signal to release the target.

Look this way...and fire the pistol that way. I will not hit the target but rather shoot the front tire out .....causing the bike to steer out of control into the pit of fire my brothers have built.

I hope she is not THE TARGET

The run-up was not that tough. Maybe some fire or oil might have helped.

This a cool pic from a $5 camera

Show me the money. This guy wanted his drunk-off-his-ass buddy to get a pic of the action. It seemed like to much to ask of his friend.

RV is very popular with Filipino men under 5 feet tall. The K-town motor was shaking hands like he was running for office. The New Blagojovich?

Cross Vegas is the coolest event on the calendar. We need lights , beer and hookers in the future.

We had a nice Labor Day . The season opener saw 43 hit the starting line. A crash 30 seconds in. 1 broken chain. 1 rolled tire. AND we almost had someone fall into the pond ( keep in mind that we really don't ride that close to the water , so that would be hard to do ).

Guest Race Director Guy Van Sleepinvadaan starts

up the first ever pace car in cyclocross

It was nice to see Gary Doering come out

What could go wrong

THE MAN tried to clip the Bandit's wings. What THE MAN didn't know is the Bandit is a chicken and can't fly anyhow. The Bandit instead relies on his shifty ways to hop the PVC. Bust up the PVC and he just screws it back together. Call in the cops to break up the party and the Bandit just moves the party. The only thing the Bandit leaves behind is some chicken scratch and empty beer bottles.

This Police sketch is the only known image of the Bandit.
