bike race - january - 2006

here it is folks, the schedule for the january bike race:

1) bike derby; 7:00 pm at vimy ridge park
2) race; 8:00 pm at omand's creek
3) hot dog boil-up; 8:30ish at dr hubie's - bring your own buns, dogs, lawnchairs, beverages, etc.

prizes or prize to be awarded at the boil-up

i know this was not discussed at the meeting last night, but i suggest an entry fee of $5. we will then put everyone's name in a hat and draw for the cash (minus any costs incured from prizes). if you like this idea, say so - if you don't, say so.

trying to introduce some bike "throw down" culture into fgbc (i was the lucky winner of one of these prizes at a throw down - i promptly used it to buy a couple of pitchers of draft for everyone; it was fun . also, it's a way of having a prize for the person who finishes first in any said race (they get bragging rights) - everyone has a chance to get prize. no one who does not want to enter has to; those that do, can

I'm good with the $5, I just hope I remember it when I arrive... it's not quite as pressing as the $3.75 levy at the clubhouse.

Careful James, while not meaning to sound snarky, it sure could pass off as snarky...

I've often wondered about that tool (not to sound sociologically discerning) of disclaiming something you're in the middle of doing so as to get away with whatever you shouldn't be trying, to sound more like something you aren't or less like something you are...

Oh yah, thanks for getting the details up Hal... it's nice to go and do a "job" and find out it's already done.

I'm fine with the $5. Consider it motivation for showing up. Everybody likes to be a winner.

Meanwhile, the "heavy legs" I thought were the result of a hard ride on Sunday have turned into a full body ache, fever etc. Hope I can shake it off before Sunday.
