FGBC Spring Classics Pool Entry Watch

[Update - 8:34 am, the next day, the race has started] Sticking with the theme of fours, four more teams trickled in over the night: Tom K, Hal, Cousin Adam, and last year's runner-up, Rachel. That brings us to 32 teams overall. The wicket is closed and the pool is open for business. Good times ahead.

[Update - 11:14 pm, hockey game over] It seems we are working in fours. Jay, Charlene, Olli, and Mike are in. That is 28 teams. Get your teams in by 8am tomorrow morning and they can still count.

[Update - 9:09 pm, first intermission] We are at 24. Jonny G, Miriam, Jonah, and Dan are in. But where is the rest of the FGBC? And where is Jay?

[Update - 5:52 pm] 4 more teams have joined. We are at 20 now. Andy, Charlie, Pete, and Steve are in the pool. Pete and Steve are FGBC pool rookies. Everybody be nice to them. It's still quiet on the FGBC front.

[Update - 1:57 pm] 4 more teams so far today: Larry, Chris D, Ian, KK. That brings us to 16. RRR numbers are growing. FGBC, not so much. And still nothing from the defending champ. Does the internet go all the way out to Kenora?

We are only one day away from the most exciting series of bike races not named Nordic Cross. The Omloop Het Nieuwsblad begins bright and early tomorrow. That means that today is your last chance to enter the 2010 FGBC Spring Classics Pool.

We begin the day with 12 teams already signed up. That is a good start. But by the end of the day, we hope to have quite a few more. Your task is two-fold. Make sure to get your own team in. And help others to find their way into the pool. It's right here. You will recall that this serves as the kickoff to the 2010 FGBC - RRR FGD Challenge. Both the FGBC and RRR are under-represented so far.

Check back throughout the day for updates as the entries come flowing in to the FGBC Low Stakes Gambling HQ.
