Save Rain Cross

I keep looking for the Rain Cross ride in the obituary section of the paper. The once feared and often controversial ride seems to be dying a slow death.

The once proud ride was a measuring stick against the other local talent. A venture out Saturday morning would tell you where your fitness was. The top of Filmore street always a good time on the quads even if your were just sucking wheel the entire ride.

Today the ride is on Chemo, radiation and some homeopathic drugs. The ride appears to be on its last legs. The head dog at Monster is to be thanked for trying to reinvent the course. The course now features a few climbs that seem to remove the chafe form the ride and make sitting in not an option. Thank you Jesus!

Are the changes enough. Has the local Police force decided to fight crime instead of cyclists. Only time will tell. Last time I checked the Rain Cross ride was not on Wiki but Como Street was. This Summer may be the last. Save Rain Cross T-shirts may be on the horizon. Its an election year so maybe its time for a change.
