Thursday Anticipation

1) Math is hard. We all know that. Some of us know it better than others. But it can also be useful. Check this out: 182 x 2 = 364. And this: 364 < 365. Roughly translated, this means that we have just crossed the half-way point to the 2011 Spring Ride. Yeehaw! From here on out, the next Spring Ride is closer than the last one. That is worth celebrating. So if you happen to have a pint close by, be sure to raise it and make a little toast to this important milestone.

2) That is the good news. The bad news is that half a year is still a relatively long wait. To bide our time, we have racing on tap. And lots of it. Nordic Cross and the Snow Crits are coming. Maybe even some roller racing? But we still have one more race to go in a cx season that has been nothing short of jaw droppingly awesome. With all the snow that has fallen in the past 7 days, it is sure to make a strong case for race of the season in a season that is already full of races worthy of that designation. This time last week, the ground was still bare. Weird.

Do not miss Saturday. Unless you like to be filled with regret.

F! Still sick as a dog. This must be some weird Minnesota flu or something...

If I feel somewhat functional, I'll help to showel some snow.

You didn't drink the water, did you?

Hope you feel better by Saturday.

Olli said...

I did...I tried to tell Melissa, that drinking water would be a mistake and instead I should just stick with the 34 different kinds of beer on tap.

I have a new push showel and I'm planning to come and help, but no riding for me.

Someone Help me out, can I buy a citizen license at the race?

The Dark Lord said...

That is usually possible. If you show up willing to pay, I'm sure they will find a way to make it work.

Got your new bike ready?

I ended up buying the citizen license online from the MCA website. New bike is all ready to go, just in time!
