Last Tuesday Before the End of the World


So gents, this is the last Tuesday before the end of the world. What are you going to do? Sit at home and watch The Voice? Go to Peter's house and cut out paper snowflakes? Prepare for world's best end of the world party set to take place this Friday night? Start training for the Coolest 24 hour race which is slated to return to Cool, California in 2013 - six months after the world ends?

Will there be snow? Will it be cold? Will Rock God show up? Will a ride leader or other new guy show up?




For some of us, cyclocross season has come to a close. I fought some tough battles this year, nearly actually got in a fight, made a showing when I was down with the sickness and got shelled, and missed the last race due to that same sickness. Such is the life of a Master's racer. I finished fifth overall in the Sac CX Series, which is two better than last year. Can't ask for much more than that. So, for cross season closure and closure of the world, I leave you with this epic cyclocross vid.



Also, mark your calendars for the epic Old Caz Grasshopper Cyclocross ride event set to occur on January 19th this year. Some of you will recall that Green Fro, Ghost and I took this on last year and returned with rave reviews. Hopefully more can join us this year, provided there is a January 2013. http://www.grasshopperadventureseries.com/

  1. Me to. I'm counting cappy, Three.
    Finally good riding weather.
    Any FT3er who did not receive an invite to the end of the world party (IE: Winter Solstice) this is your invite. Take details off line.

  5. Be careful 'blowing up' the blog today, I'd hate to see the end of the world come early.

  6. IN!

    I thought for sure we were going to enjoy some wintry mix tonight. Looks like it will just be cold.

  7. Peter stopped by before I left for work, talking about Christmas decor and knitting styles. I wasn't having it and delivered him a sucker punch, so I'm good to go. See ya'll at the squito lot!

    1. Sucker punching Peter?! That's like kicking a puppy.

  8. My Bug-Out Bag is already packed and mounted on the 350 moto. Since it's the last ride ever, maybe I should ride it...

    I also want to say I actually drank a PBR on FT3 before it's all over.

    Six!
