A Saturday

So Will the G and I decided to check out the Downtown Columbia Tri on Saturday. We didn't know anyone racing but since neither of us had anything going on (except our own riding and Criterium International viewing) and it being such a nice day we decided to check it out. I must admit I did not expect to see such a large turn out given Columbia bicycle unfriendliness and general obesity but over 300 peeps showed up for this thing.

Mad props to the guy who rode this thing...

and to this guy...
Afterward we went on our rides, viewed Criterium International and then decided to checkout the Black Bird Bicycle Co-op House Show Fundraiser. The Black Bird kids apparently decided to have some bands play at a house and ask for donations to help the co-op. Will and I scrapped together a few neglected wheels and some rarely used tools to donate and gain admission.
pretty interesting Saturday to say the least...

2nd Annual Hoffencross: Don't be there, AGAIN!

That's right, shit is canceled twice now. Dicky, I know you are crushed but you will be able to get over it and move on. Trails are great up here (Bent Creek at least) but the ole lady and I are buying our first house and will be moving in around that time. Feel free to come up and help lug furniture, paint walls, and lend your interior design skillz though.

Race Weekend Update

So to sum up this past weekend's races:

Saturday = mechanical. bent two chain ring teeth on the big ring. how the hell does that happen? Called it a day when the chain kept jumping allover the big ring maybe 3.5 laps in.

Sunday = now I know "raced at the back, stay at the back, get blown off the back". Unfortunately that's exactly what I did. It's cool though because I wasn't all that into and just raced because its something to do....


Colon Cancer Challenge this weekend...

Too close to pass up

Damn! Is it road season already?

Here's the real question... Now that I've upgraded to Cat4 my races are later in the day. Now, do I jeopardize celebrating my heritage with the other countless hooligans in 5points? The tough choices I must make to bike race...

2nd Annual Hoffencross, Be There???

2nd Annual Hoffencross: April 17th, 2010. DuPont State Forest. Time TBD

Sucks to have to reschedule to such a late date but Winter still ain't over and March looked bad for most people. If you think you are coming up please leave an "I Do" in the comments section.
