Master of the universe

There's more Cx excitement planned for this weekend - one of the local cycling clubs are putting on a 'Mudsters of the Universe' race at Murrarie crit track. Not sure where the mud is going to come from, perhaps they'll truck it in from a more miserable Southern state.

Looking at the font and knowing that the main organiser is a Gen-Y hipster type you can tell that the pun is inspired by the Masters of the Universe TV show & franchise. But well before He-Man came the mighty Hawkwind, who recorded a track of the same name in the early 70's. This version was filmed in the mid 80's and is a bit rockier than the original track, but it gives a good idea of what it's like to be at a Hawkwind gig. Bear with the poem - it's part of the ride.
