Shayne gets a Valentine's Day card

Shayne could not participate in the lovely annual Velo Vixens' Alley Cat fundraiser so aptly described by Mitch in the last post. Shayne claims he could not make it because of excessive horizontal gymnastics the previous night and on the day before the race. That of course, is a very lame excuse, but I suppose there are worse ones out there. However, some of us suspect that he was off fighting cougars again, which may or may not be exactly what he's talking about. Chevy had an illumination at the party after the race and went ahead and bought Shayne a very special Velotines valentine's card, to be specially delivered by the Velo Vixens themselves. This was a part of the Vixens' fund raising efforts and a fine idea at that. So all of us were waiting sort of anxiously on Saturday for the Vixens to show up. Once they did, there would be no disappointments. The store was exceptionally busy at the moment they arrived and even though Shayne looked a bit perplexed by the Vixens' wardrobe, (which was very stylish by the way) he did not realize they were there for him. I had to inform Shayne that these fine looking ladies were actually there to see him... What followed was an exciting dance routine by the Vixens and a professional delivery of the valentine card. In all the commotion I almost forgot to grab a camera and take a shot of the spectacle but I just managed to get of a shot before it was all over. You can see Shayne's rosy cheeks, if you look closely, and the crank set he's holding suggest that he was caught totally by surprise. An entertaining scene to say the least.
