Its only Monday and I am totally slammed. Gone all day tomorrow at a meeting. So I am out for the ride. Still waiting for the podium picture to post of Rock God. Cross is in the blood.
Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.

The way I see it Rock God's value is now $50. The race is on my friends. Oct 11th...who will have the most valuable cross season. I greatly value being passed by, not one, but two women...such a caring guy I am.
Sounds like the deer from Camino is in for this weeks ride!
5:45 Mosquito...Exit 54 - oh you know it - he is all in!
Until we ride,

Rock God Rockin the House
FT3 stayed on the podium this week at the first race on the Sacramento CX calendar. In raging heat, Green Fro, Cap'n, Rock God and I all unquivered the cross bikes and toed the line. Rock God raced in 45+ B's with Cap'n and Green Fro racing at the same time in 35+ B's. Cap'n showed some early wings but suffered in the heat. Rock God, showing his wise ways, stayed in his own zone, taking a quick flyer to win the preem ($50.00) and then holding form to place 2nd in age group 3rd overall! Spot on mate...by the way you lie like a dog, no one belives that you were sick, just off doing some secret training. Cap'n and Green Fro finished just a tad back racing hard.
Why do chicks always line up in my race! Man, this sucks. I am doctoring my birth certificate to race in the 35+. So I got doubled chicked but still managed to feel good about the race.
More info and pics coming.
Did anyone pick up my helmet?

Fear the Cross Ride, and Bring More Cowbell
With the official kick off to cross season four days away, FT3 rolled out CX style last night. Cap'n, Rock God, and I all welcomed Green Fro back into the fringe for the first ever all cross FT3 ride. With everyone else being scared away by our cross supremacy! Or maybe they just figured that this ride would just be too much of a cross geek fest for even the most hardy FT3 rider. Anyway you cut it, the ride was awesome and pureish to the CX call out.
We started with a quick hit to the west shore of the lake loop and then headed around the lake on the road for a bit before taking the Pre-Qualifier up to Park Creek. From there we headed down Hazel Rd to the Flume and climbed up the Flume Re-Entry. We dropped the top part of Wedding March to the cut off and headed back to the Qualifier for a return ride home. Well Green Fro and I headed to the Qualifier, Cap'n got spun around again and missed a few turns on the way home. Rock God fighting off some rare illness suffered temporary deafness and dementia and kept on keeping on right on up to Sly Park Road. He paid his dues by riding the gutter of Sly Park Rd. home and then buying the birthday beverages for Ghost and Cap'n. The remaining three rides gave a solid look around for Rock God, gave up the search and headed home only to run into Xteric (on the 1:9) out for a solo mission. In the end, the Tuesday CX adventure will be repeated!
Ghostrider and VD joined for Tacos. The normal red carpet service got derailed for some reason, and tacos slowly drifted out to us. The hot sauce offerings were either bland or blazing hot! But most importantly Ghostrider produced the proofs for the new kits!!
Kit Orders:
Please email or post orders for Ghostrider, as soon as he has a complete order that will determine price...the more we order the cheaper the unit costs get. For instance, I am ordering two bibs, one long sleeve, and one short sleeve...doing my part.
Rock God is no longer invited to my birthday party!
