Thursday Anticipation

First race of the new season:


Best race ever? I don't think so. Big prizes if you can beat the provinial team? How about if any of us beats anyone on the provincial team, they lose their spot on the team. And if two or three get beat by aging chumps like us, the whole team loses its funding from the MCA. If you want to throw down a challenge, better do it right.

Last race of the old season:



T minus 50 days to the best event of the season:


Finally, Red Ass 2008 is just around the corner. No poster though. Everything you need to know, including a slide show of last year's inaugural edition--is here. But a poster would still be a good idea. Andy says the route this year is includes more of the hilly terrain that was the highlight of last year's race. I don't see any good reason why there wouldn't be more FGBC participation this time around. If nothing else, the Half Ass is just over 200 kms. Yes, you can do it.

OTT: LK, Eurovision

Yeah, just over 200km...

...with a lunch stop in the middle.

...and no riding at night this year (half ass starts same time as the full ride, 8 a.m.)

Uh... it's a good time, and needn't be treated ultra competitively...?


...though I would recommend lashing your hard-boiled eggs to your handlebars with adhesive tape. (http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/cycling.htm)
