next nordic cross

Conscience Cross – the antitheses of Curry not Hurry

When: Sunday, January 14th.
Time: 8:00 PM
Place: Omand Creek Park at the corner of Wolseley and Raglan. (Note: location may change if we get too much snow in the next week).

Theme: If you are not in the Lite you are out in the cold.

Format: Nordic cross race – that means laps, fun, and pain. Earn your spot on the start line and the time you start the race by answering the following questions and completing the following tasks:

1. Can you see the Lite in Winnipeg? Tell me what it is. The right answer earns you points towards your start and placement.
2. Earn start and placement points by bringing items for Winnipeg Harvest. Do you understand the Lite to earn extra points?
3. Popcorn and dark rooms - name three “physicians” that made appearances in the city this last year? These "doctors" presented ideas and answers to questions about issues you and others are concerned about. (I never said this would be easy). The right answer earns you points.
4. Earn start and placement points by “visiting” at least one of these “physicians.”
5. Have you eaten a meal within “a century?” Tell me what this means to earn points.
6. Earn start and placement points if you do #5 during this week – you will need to answer several skill-testing questions to earn these points.

One more thing, hints will come out on Friday - however you will earn more points if you answer the questions without the hints. So, email your answers to me before Friday is done.

That’s it. Have fun. Talk amongst yourselves.

Are you kidding me?

For those of you who are looking for an end to this madness--bike racing and eating, bike racing and poetry, and bike racing plus whatever this is--I present 24 hours of Ass.--just a a day of plain old mindless bike racing, no clues to decipher, no creative word-smithing, nothing to tempt you to flirt with the false promise of bulemic relief.

Feb 17-18 2007. More details coming soon.

oh, this is only bike racing my friend; just think of it as the lemans start to the race. having said that, you don't need to answer any of the questions or complete any of the task to join the race. you can just rely on your biking prowess to get you through; that is, if you can stand the cold.
