You'll note my use of the word "absence", as opposed to attendance. Myself being one of those in the running for second place may have have an asterisk (aka: half a star) on my record based on my attendance last weekend. Rest assured, I was there, I rode my bike and I ate tacos. I think that counts even tho XTerric and NewB say otherwise - they are so mean, so hard core. No matter; when the final ballots are counted in Dec. I will have slipped down the list. Bastards!
The real question is who will be in the 3 or 4 way running come later this month when NoCar has already announced his upcoming absence.
You know who it WON'T be. Or should I ask the question who has perfect un-attendance this year. No Stars on Thars.
This does raise another question about the % of FT3'rs with good attendance vs. those with one wheel in the grave. Not sure the exact percentage but I am sure that I'm riding tonight and keeping my attendance at only one absence *
One !
* suggest a ride wussed out a bit b/c his little legs were too tired
An interesting point was made by Fro and Newb, who have been thinking hard about attendance accounting. According to them, the best way to record attendance is by making a declaration to ride on the blog. If your attendance is later challenged by the Taco Table, your affirmative declaration will be deleted. If this system is enacted, the best possible attendance so far this year is only two rides, owing to the blog blackout that occurred twice in January.

I think the blog the makes it official. So if you want an extra FT3 prize, like custom sweet t shirts which are in the works, then first edition release is obtained with 5 documented rides (including blog post requirement). Super sweet, limited release second edition is obtained with 25 documented rides. Second edition is going to be a limited batch, so the race is on.

FT3 Ts
DeleteI like these new rules. They put the flip phone and computer challenged riders at a strong disadvantage and it also puts more value on the blog.
DeleteCan I get a T?
DeleteYours will have cut off sleeves
Deletecan I get the midriff version?
ReplyDeleteYou can sure tell a software development manager wrote this call out.
ReplyDeleteOut - I need to keep up my perfect attendance record for 2016.
We just need some IF THEN ELSE statements and a flow chart. :-)
DeleteI took a head first fall on the Moto Saturday, don't want to jack up my neck any more in the slippery slushy muddy snot.

DeleteI like it. I'm going to have to resurrect my fun factor equation in print. I will get out there again soon, big project at work has been weighing in on calculation.
DeleteAnyone have a light I can borrow. I have pronounced mine dead but have not picked up a new one yet
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your fine without. I can't believe it was doing anything before.
DeleteThanks for the reminder. Just put min on the charger. I'll get about 70 mins. of charging. Hope that is enough. So, no. Bambi, I don't think i have a back up.
DeleteI thought your light died, like, two years ago. Sorry, got an extra light but no battery
