As the #WHCD withers from its duty, here is an excerpt from "Fools Are Everywhere, The Court Jester Around the World" by Beatrice K. Otto:

Going to sleep with the hope that Sagan is on the start line tomorrow. Won't accept his DQ until the flag drops. #TDF #TDF17 #priorities

Sure I'll motorpace with you, Joe Dombrowski. Keep it right at 40. @ Haymarket Bicycles Studio instagram.com/p/BWL3QyJlP53/

First feedback over at out Culpeper location. Yeah, I'm giving out veggies while they last! #bikes #garden

Cyclocross | The race will be split into two heats of 20. The athlete’s score is the total time it takes for them to complete the event.

Statement from #Patriots Chairman & CEO Robert Kraft:

For anyone planning on participating in #cyclocross via "heckling," please contact me to find out if you're an idiot. x.com/theadkbh/statu…

@ccreuter Heckling is dead. Long live cheering!

Nah, the beauty of cross at the pro level is ease of trained skills, power & talent on display in an arena of your peers gaining a result. BS heckling is a display of cowardly & insecure drunk howling - if you wouldn’t say it to me after the race, to my face, that’s the barometer x.com/rcousine/statu…

On behalf of the Obama family, Merry Christmas! We wish you joy and peace this holiday season.
