Friday, B and Droptail and I took the dogs out for some pollywood fun. Showers turned to rain and the temperature dropped ten degrees in an hour. The wind howled on the back side of the lake. Thick coated Booker thought it was great. We riders were fine, though it took me a few days before I really felt warm again. Short haired Zoey, however, shivered sadly and had take shelter in the Knothole. Mother Rye invited her to curl up next to the pellet stove and fed her king-size biscuits.
The turning season brings to mind life's cycles. And while we all look forward to the bone shattering bacchanalia of the winter solstice, other holidays have their place on the calendar. Recall last year's TGFT3: Cappy took us on a tour de steepes where our tires crunched snow within the Pville limits. Best enjoy the exceptional Pollywood trail conditions while you can. Won't be long before the winter's first FTski.

Are you suggesting it is going to be cold tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteDammit, and I'm miles from home. Guess I'll have to console myself with a round of Xterics other favorite pastime....golf. Oh, and I'm riding and making tacos tomorrow. Remote ride report to follow. Happy FTFT3!
ReplyDeleteThat would be TGFT3, if I knew how to spell.
ReplyDeleteTwo.
ReplyDeleteThree.
ReplyDelete"TGFT3 - the Return of Cappy" playing at any polywood location near you. Seating is limited and tickes are going fast.
So, Cappy, are you going to be railing the pace tonight to regain your standing as a dominant member of the pack?

ReplyDeletethere is a rumor in the mills that we may be rejoined by the fearless ride leader himself. Tho, this rumor has no legs to stand on - yet.
ReplyDeleteAs it is the holiday season, one can hope.
Since we are day-lighting back-channel rumors, Bambi declared himself out as he is in Monterey. Regret was expressed that he would be missing out on Petty officer third class, more widely known as "Cappy," returning to fill the long-vacant billet reserved for the PO3.
ReplyDeleteThe anticipation is killing me.
ReplyDeleteWhich, the totally unsubstantiated LOTB rumors or your own return?
ReplyDeleteI love the new cover photo. Who is it tho? It appears to be NoCar from the looks of that 'cross bike, but the lack of kneewarmers on a cold night tells me it is B. Not to mention the tailight. Hard tellin.
ReplyDeleteWhat will my standing be among FT3 pack members? Will I come back fit? Can I handle the cold, dark, night? Can I ride a mountain bike? Do I still hiccup? Is my light charged....oh shit!
ReplyDeleteLoTB is now sending texts alluding to his potential presence this evening and further substantiating unsubstantiated rumors of his return. The text I am referencing quoted LL Cool J and showed a photo of bicycle lights on a charger.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see Lhhaaz in his red shorts!
ReplyDeleteThe blog is actually serving a useful purpose today. Plus, Rock can keep tabs on us from France and the Councilor from Mexico. Are you still riding and eating tacos in solidarity with your brethren, C?
ReplyDeleteWow! Lars Over thehandle Bars and Cappy return on the same night. Its like a made for tv ThanksGiving special.
ReplyDeleteBack Channel from Xteric: He is "TOTALLY" in. By which he means he plans to smear himself with blackberries AND be rideleader.
ReplyDeleteAre we counting Lars yet?
5.
I'm counting Lars. Maybe Green Fro or Ghost will show up too.
ReplyDeleteCap, please elaborate on the LL reference. Is LOTB going to be in a "goin' back to Cali" or a "momma said knock you out" kind of mood this evening?
ReplyDeleteIt was probably "big ole butt".
ReplyDeleteSo, is that it for the TGFT3 posting. No Lars appearance? Will there be a real appearance later tonight?
ReplyDeleteBTW, who has tomorrow off....besides me.
Sounds like you should meet us at Mosquito for extra peeb time post ride since you are slacking tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI could consider slacking tomorrow
ReplyDeleteconsidering all options, and have already made up my mind to head to the fridge right now.
ReplyDeleteI think Cappy will be in the front pulling a tough pace as always. Regarding the new photo, my guess is that it's B on Nocar's bike... but that's just a guess.
ReplyDeleteSix!
Come on folks, check out the drive train.
