Welcome riders to the new year of 2014. For those of you who were able to participate in the Knotty New Year ride, hopefully it was grand. Since there is not a ride report to accompany the callout, one is left to assume that the FT3ers that remained in the morning were unfit to post a report, and as such, rang in the new year in a 'proper' manner. Alas, we move on, ready to ride into the new year, while other parts of our country ensure harsh sub zero cold temps, we here in Cali will enjoy perfect temps in our Pollywood stomping grounds. Let's roll!
Coldest Sesh Ever? these guys make 33 and raining look lke child's play.

In 2013 we welcomed new riders including: Cutter, Buttons and Partial Credit. We lost a couple riders... Gold Wing and Squish have yet to return, and who knows what has become of the scouts? We endured the controversy over young riders, 18 and under, and one of our founding fathers - the one and only Taco Spawn returned with a vengeance. He made his mark on the Sacramento and Bay Area Cyclocross scene, and it is clear there are more podium's to be had by this FT3'er. As we embark on a new year, please help us to remember what was rad in FT3 2013, by filling in some events in the comment field. I will start the list with these;
NoCar broke his collarbone again
NoCar became Chicken Wing
Mt. Rose to Myers FT3 Long Ride went the F Off
...
ONE!!

DeleteHappy New Year FT3! Lagging knee issues and a year of changing diapers leaves me keeping an eye on the blog but not in proper form. Just broke my chain stay on the squish so dirt time is on pause. Always enjoy the ride reports and certainly plan a return in 2014, on a 29er hard tail maybe...
