Muddy Buddy Champs (again)



CRC Racing took on the Muddy Buddy yesterday in Stoney Creek, Mi. The reigning age group champs defended their title by a whopping 10 minutes. Overall we finished 11th out of 690 teams. More importantly we will share the details of the revealing costumes adorned by some of the female racers on Wednesday. A great day, next year maybe some more CRC members will come out for the experience.

Close Call

      Well, let this be a lesson to all.  One unfortunate CRC member who has a long history of not checking his email (no, not Jim H), failed to realize that it was his turn for beer.  After the ride he had to quickly scramble to pick up the beer.  Because he knew he was under the gun, he must have rushed at the beer store because he inadvertently (I am sure) picked up a "non-premium" beer.  The only person who actually appreciated this oversight was Scotty.  Go figure.
      To put things in perspective, at this time last year we had 14 rides in.  This was our 7th.  Tough ride tonight with the heat.  Mark's pool never felt better after a ride.  And with Scott's second appearance this season, he has now doubled Russ and Jim's combined attendance for the last 10 years.  Well done Scott!
beer schedule
     One of the items discussed on the agenda was the date for the Michigan football game.  I will post a poll on the blog.  Second place date will become our backup date.
     Attached is the beer schedule.  Matt, Jay, Liam are up next.  Hopefully they will read their email.

... and the summer is officially here!

     Now that the teachers are done school that is.  That means no more Ali 10:00 curfew!  As for the ride..... what a bunch of wimps!  I am sipping pina coladas up north on a deck, it's too hot (Jay), I have dinner plans, my son's graduation.  Well at least 6 of us showed up.  Morton is rideable if you don't mind being whipped by overgrown grass and low hanging branches.  Whatever you do, don't stop unless you feel like giving up a litre of blood to the monster size mosquitos.
    It turns out that our missing persons on the milk bottle program is paying off.  A former WNBG member (pre-CRC) showed up to get back into it.  Hopefully he hangs around.  And he is still moaning about "premium" beer.
     Speaking of beer, next up is Rob then Matt.
