Astoria Photo Slideshow: Sunday

At Sunday's Halloween race, cyclocross phraseology took a small step forward. "Tron" became a verb. The word, coined by karate guy, cowboy guy and a bottle of whiskey, was inspired of course by the troupe of Tron characters frolicking about.

Tron [ verb ]

1: the act of hitting a cross rider who does not wear a costume for a halloween ride with a flying disc: here comes a dude in spandex! Tron him!
2: the act of hitting Rick Potestio with many flying discs, no matter what he is wearing.

Besides Tron characters, we also spotted:

A viking, a port-a-potty, a bag of sand, a fraulein, Elvis, Evel, at least five Sarah Palins, witches, cavemen, a primate or two, some super heroes, Joe six pack, Duffman, several farm animals, bunny rabbits, Uncle Sam, three mexican wrestlers, a few brides and one bridezilla, basketball stars, rock stars, rap stars, porn stars, fairies, angels, devils, dancing girls, circus performers, cheerleaders, aliens, martians (there is a difference) Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Paul Bunyan, Babe the Blue Ox, a pilgrim, John Baker, an entire Wizard of Oz family, pirates, a box, a banana, cowgirls, lots of butt cheeks and a whole lot of "What the hell was that."

I am sure we missed a ton. let us know what you saw.

What a great weekend.
