deluxe ride. seven showed at the EJ... craig, tenacious v, secretary, g, luc, kk and larry (a member of the rrr gang). Very deluxe. After the requisite caffeine, we headed north. Two climbs of our fav parkade, then north to KP. One lap of the park, and back down... by Portage & Main, Luc had been seen in a struggle with his phone, and he departed claiming domestic (read girlfriend) issues... By the time we reached the klubhaus, we had been yelled or honked at at least six or seven times. One was positive... 1 for 6 isn't bad...
arrived to find tom and colin warming the seats. bill rode up after a bit, and the president and the impaler arrived in support vehicles. a big enough group that there was rarely a single conversation... he may be the president, but he's not about to chair a meeting of a self-governing collective. there was some good discussion of gianni's season finale... which, I think, sparked a blurt of sorts. the elder of the norwood collective, stated that there should be a race in norwood next tuesday, then looked over at the other for support... receiving little, there may have been an internal conflict, but it was out, so now it's official: Sandbaggers Cross next tuesday, at the home of the norwood collective elder, colin, 9:00pm. If we're lucky, we could splash in the river a bit, as we're hoping to use a similar course to last year. Wear your rubber boots.

The elder Norwood'er even promised me beer on the porch. In lieu of hard laps, even. That kind of thing could see the biggest turn out of the Nordic Cross season.
There are MCA road and mtn committee meetings that night... at 7.
A late start = I can do both = better cross season, if someone who cares a stitch for CX is at the table.
Or I can just drink beer on the porch.
drink beer on the porch drink beer on the porch drink beer on the porch
well that is what i am going to do
Another reason not to have a cell phone.
Gianni, please go to the meeting. Otherwise cx will get screwed over once again.
how long do those silly meetings last?
we could post-pone the race...or think of a suitable punishment for late starts.
The course will be wet. i've ridden these parts many-a-times in my life, it isn't dry to the end of may... if were lucky.
I will start my course planning self-brain storm now...
Oh, and i official protest this new-found nine PM start.
gianni, what start time would you propose, and make it possible for us to get to the klubhaus. based on the way i heard it, it's entirely likely that the free beer was promised to the impaler only, not the rest of us. we had deliberately decided to keep the race a bit on the shorter side so we'd have a bit of jam to make it to St. James.
i'll buy a 12 to distributed as needed during/after the race.
