southern cross video report

well dr. h, you missed a dandy. great weather, great turnout, great course, great times.

I've thrown together a really quick video retrospective. (Apologies to all FGBC members and friends if you did not make it on... if you would be wearing the sweetest jersey in the world, it would be much easier to spot you... (In particular for my wonderful videotaping wife, Krista, who did the B-race) Little did we know that our humble design would be so distinctive on the course. Yes, soon, many more will be able to enjoy FGBC notoriety.)

Enjoy.

Right on.

Elvis Costello, by the way, is not southern rock. In fact, his ancestry is Irish, which is kinda northern. Next year, I'm on the tunes committee. That video would be even sweeter with Whipping Post, or perhaps It's Not My Cross to Bear.

Speaking of videos, any sense on when we might get a sneak peak of the Spring Ride flick?

Next year, Southern Cross will be even better. Johnny and I were cooking up some plans on the phone last night.

Great vid Darryl. I appreciate the documentation. I'm also impressed you rode your fixie for the race.
Southern Cross was another success growing from 57 riders to 84 (25 kids, 59 adults). Next year we'll break the 100 riders barrier!
Big time thanks to Hal, The Duke, Paul B, Dan K, G, Darlene and Arlene for making it all happen.
Thanks to all who made the trip out to Rocktona for the race.

i don't suspect anyone will arm wrestle you for the VP of Tunes portfolio... certainly not when it comes to tunes for Southern Cross.

If you want to email me something where the artist might be happy to have their tune freely exposed, I'll drop it in.

A yes, the spring ride... 2+ hrs of watching your backside is a good deal tougher to get motivated for...

Can't watch the video from work, so that'll have to wait. But many thanks for putting on a great race. I know this is a long shot, but I left a Bikes n Beyond water bottle with the sickening residue of brown sugar and soy milk festering in it somewhere on the course. If it shows up, it would be swell to have it back.

That was one freakin sweet day my friends. A great course , tons of riders and more pain than I have ever felt on a bike in 30+ minutes.

In the south they dish out the pain…

More painful the studying Indo-European Syntax

More painful then a 24-hour race where they ‘only’ play Brittney Spears

More painful then eating glass

More painful then dentistry without an anesthetic

More painful then forgetting to put the boys back before zipping up

Almost as painful as getting the boys caught and having to unzip!

More painful then giving birth… and being a man!

More painful then lectures on Macro Economics

More painful then passing a kidney stone

Not more painful then this! http://www.spike.com/video/most-stupid-thing/2797206?cid=YSSP
