“hey, where is everyone”, said Todd as he rolled in, dressed in full kit ready for the ride. “ Uh…..Todd, have you noticed it is raining with a full 40 knot wind blowing it”? Not mastering the obvious he said “What a bunch of bleepin’ sissies, why when I was a boy we would ride in this just to warm up for the really tough stuff”.
Todd then proceeded to curse like a sailor for a few minutes until his phone rang…….”yes dear…..yes dear…..no dear…..yes dear, I’ll pick up some cream for your lumbago” as he left for home. It was a lousy night to ride and only slightly better in the morning as I did the 50/50 ride. That is any ride on a windy day; you have fun 50% of the time!
The Madison Ironman and Door County Century are this weekend. There are lots of local folks doing the race this year and many volunteering to enhance their chance of getting in next year as they get an entry preference to the always at capacity event.
The Door County Century http://www.doorcountycentury.com/Default.aspx has a record number of participants (over 2100). The weather looks iffy for Saturday but great on ride day (Sunday).
The FTF has a new press release http://www.skinnyski.com/racing/display.asp?Id=19759 as riders tune up for the Biggie of all mountain bike events in Hayward.
Shortly thereafter we ramp up ski season with Hillbounding 10 to start on September 21, at 5:30pm at Bairds Creek. I will have a complete overview here next week. Lastly check out my buddy and all around wacky dude Floyd in this article Todd passed on today. This may help understand him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lPmiDoK-fo
See you in DC, SO2
