Last Date At the Dairy

Published 2021-02-28

I allowed myself one last pity ride through Alpenrose after hearing the news.

I regret every race I declined here. I regret that the only track racing I ever did was one clinic. Gather your memories while you can.

I won’t be back. This hurts too much.

How many times did I eat gravel on this corner?

I get startline jitters just looking at this spot

I did exactly one track clinic here

No alleycatting in the ’drome

This field holds the ghosts of a thousand races

Goodnight, Dairyville

A long last look goodbye
