Event Reconciliation and Bring your Kit Money

I waited as long as I could for someone to post a call out but as none of the creative people have offered up their enjoyable and thoughful authoring, you are stuck with a down to business post.

My bateries are charging, I hope yours are too.

This weekend:  2 events on the books.  The Free Mtn Bike Race promoted by the single best email author in the world - cycling or otherwise.   Then there is the Apple Blossom Bike Tour (http://www.appleblossombiketour.com/).  This tour is pretty much what any worthwhile roadie in our neck of the woods rides all the time.   If you have time, I suggest the Free dirt event.

Trifecta Bike Event:  On May 30th we have 3 events.  Who is doing what.
1) Sierra Century
2)  Lost & Found Gravel Grinder (http://www.lostandfoundbikeride.com/)
3)  Some Mtn Bike Race that I can't recall.

I'm personally leaning towards the Sierra Century, it is easy to get to and back from, well supported and I love the roads.  Oh and I'm not too proud to say, I'm OK with road biking.

Bring a check book or at least show your willingness to support the new Kit Order that RG put together.  RG - please add any additional details

See ya soon,
One.
PS: Where is the 5MFT3 ride report, did Lars show?

Ain't No Tuesday Like a Taco Tuesday

An important message came off the wire this morning.

Jim Northey is hosting another free mountain bike race to test run the new site for the Coolest 8 & 24 hour race against cancer. Apparently, the new site looks like this:

The last time I went on a free ($0.00) bike ride that Northey put on, it was a great time. May 17th, for anyone interested. I know I am.

Some old business, RG is putting together a kit order. Don't miss this opportunity to pick up an outfit that is great to ride in and you can wear to black tie events. 

The brand Sockguy makes a foot cover that they call "Taco Tuesday". It matches quite nicely. 

Finally, I announced a contest last week to see who could ride the farthest and end up at my house on Friday night. Strava records indicate that the victory goes to Cappy. For a prize, I will pick up his tab tonight. Prize expires at midnight 4/28/2015.

ONE!

Back in Black

New kit design draft is done, pricing and order sheet will be available at the Taco Table.  With the closing of The Spoke and the eminent departure of Our Dear Ride Leader I figured a symbolic gesture was in order.  Small graphic adds or replacements will be up for discussion, must be present for a vote.

We will start the sizing and quantity scramble this evening. 

One!
