Thursday Anticipation: Special Friday Edition

The order has been placed. The all new Sweetest Jersey in the World, now with shorts will be here in 6-8 weeks. There is a chance they could be here for the Spring Ride. The Spring Ride is 56 days away. That is exactly eight weeks. How sweet would it be to be hanging out on the back porch amongst the grape flavoured bubbles in our new kit? Answer: dorky. Very dorky. But there are dorks among us. We are exactly what we are.


To help us pass the time, we have racing. Specifically, our own version of the Spring Classics:

1) Rated RRR, Brad the Impaler's race to kick off the season, is just over a week away. This year's course will be different. He found some gravelly hills! But we will still visit the Grotto to recite the Regina Caeli in the presence of the Blessed Virgin. And of course there will be a dogfest and some Scrapper to end it off right. Stop in at the Red Brigades' HQ for more info.

2) And the following weekend is the the Olympia Classic in Bruxelles. It is as close to Belgium as one can get without leaving Manitoba. More info at the OCC.

3) There will be recon rides for both races this weekend. It would be wise to attend at least one of them.
