Last night after work I grabbed my silver lamé dress and headed down to golden gate park for the first in the three race series known as DFL. 200 hundred dudes and a handful of ladies showed up for cross-dressing cyclocross-racing mayhem. Not hip on the bike lingo? DFL stands for Dead F#*&ing Last.
