TNR Report

Some did not ride. They claim they are made of sugar. Just as Walter Sobchak doesn't roll on shabbas, sugar fairies do not roll in the rain. They drive minivans. While this activity has aroused the suspicion of the FGBC's HTFU Bureau--especially since it was not, in fact, raining last night--the presence of the four sugar fairies from NK at the F&H nevertheless satisfied the representatives of the Dept. of Regular Attendance. Which is good, since they currently have their hands full trying to figure out what to do about the situation with Juan Eppstein, Colin, and the poosher, among other recent absentees.

Others rode. They are awesome. They were able to sleep well last night, comfortably assured of their awesomeness.



At the klubhaus, we were entertained by the President's tales from the Laddies Loppet Stage Race. Halberto was also eager to extoll the virtues of XC8. Both seem to be worthy of more FGBC presence than they have received. The stage race seems to have the upper hand at the moment. We will see how this plays out.

Details for the wool jersey were finalized. We will go with this one. If you want one, you'd better speak up now. Cousin Adam will be placing the order by the end of the week.

We talked a bit about the annual winter 24 hour race and how awesome it is going to be. Bids for host locations are currently being entertained. We also decided to look into the possibility of renting the indoor go-cart track on some particularly cold winter night for a bike race. Brad the Impaler is in charge of figuring out all the details on that front.

We also talked about this video:

We reminisced about Crowbar and wondered whether we will ever see him again. We also reminisced about the inaugural Red Ass race. This led us to ponder the perplexing matter of what to do about the unrepentent cheaters who have not yet received the comeuppance they are due. The Wheels of Justice volunteered to look into the matter.

There was some discussion about the Lucky 13 CX Throwdown scheduled to take place this Sunday. Some of us can make it and are excited to be there. Others cannot and are filled with regret. Someone who claimed to have inside information claimed that the organizers are currently waffling on whether or not it will actually happen. More information on that score would be appreciated.

The tunes were different: Young MC, Steely Dan, Beastie Boys, Midnight Oil, Stevie Nicks, INXS, among others. No Skynyrd. No ACDC. Wierd.

Once again, Jonny G started off his evening with the pre-TNR appetizer known as the Ass. Park Crit. Once again, he finished 6th. And once again he was pipped at the line by El Españolito. The scoreboard now looks like this:


Note that this score reflects a slight adjustment to RRR's totals. They were 2nd in the TTT, not 3rd as originally reported.
