We Get a Point

Wow!  How things have fallen apart as soon as Jay and I leave.  I ask Ali to take care of the blog and what do I get??? Nothing!  I have to take time away from my margarita to email him and he claims Jeremy was going to take care of it.  Why would you let a newly engaged guy take care of something as important as the CRC blog.  He clearly has other things on his mind (like how much sex he is going to get once he gets married :).  (PS. Jay wants to know when the stag is).   Jay and I just want to let you know that we earned our point this week since we rode after all.  Since I know no one would believe us I have attached proof.  This was the end of the ride by the way.  Clearly from the email going around the afternoon on Wednesday there was much confusion as to the ride.  A road ride on a mountain bike????  Enough Ali (see pic).  We are very disappointed that Jay and I missed Ali hosting.  He told me before we left that he purchased some steaks and was planning on a nice BBQ.  I hope it went well.  By the way Ali, our leftover beers do not constitute your case.  

     Mike, 1981 called, how was the Journey concert?  Did you wear your 3/4 sleeve Journey Escape jersey???  I was told Rob rode...... Rob who?  The good news is that at least Jay will be back next week to right the CRC ship.  I heard that Russ couldn't ride because he had to rest up for his squash match on Thursday, turns out it didn't matter (losing to a pothead).  Next up for beer..... Jeremy.

HOT!!!

Ok, definitely the hottest night of the year.  You know it is hot when the nighttime low is 85 degrees.  Hard to believe that we are in mid-July (according to Jay summer is almost done) and we can't ride the trails due to wetness.  So we opted for a road ride.  Only 6 brave riders showed up to ride in the heat.  Amazingly, Mr. Heat did not make an appearance but his cousin did.   We are going to start an Ali bike shorts fund.  If you have ridden behind him lately I don't need to explain.  Thanks to Mark for cooking up the great meal and Jay for the Sol. Next up for beers is Ali then Jeremy.  Thought I would add Jay's thoughts about who would ride and who wouldn't tonight just in case you didn't get his email.

Jer get your sleep, you do need it for your health and well being, and ovaries!

Rob, camp where ever and enjoy it, but don't let Patty do all the work.

Dave, be lame and rub Barb's belly wuss.

Ian, you will likely show, unless your labia tightens

Jim, APB has been sent out already.

Craig, unpack to pack for Sat. gimp.

Russ, your back might tighten up and then your boobies will be out of whack.

Mike, man up and bring your big boy pants

Ali, you will come, but be so effing late that you will be on time for next week.

Liam, you are still a stud and need to come out for beers! Or bring for your week.

Mark, no worries

Arthur, ditto above

Sincerely,

Mr. Heat

My Apologies

Ali leading the way

It appears there was mix up &/or misunderstanding in communication tonight.  There was no email as to where the after-ride get together was going to be -& hence by default it is usually at my place.  However before the ride, Mark indicated to everybody in my driveway that he was hosting tonight & we were meeting at his place after the ride. – he had confirmed that with me earlier in the evening.  However, Rob had brought the beer & it was put in the fridge.  So off we went for the ride on our mountain bikes except for Mark who went on his road bike & he was going to do his thing & be back around 8.30pm.  Well part way into the ride, things got confusing/half –assed!

Jeremy & Rob decided to turn back early –prematurely- ? - & Arthur & I kept going for a longer ride!- at my suggestion!!!  No problem – as, I assumed that Rob & Jeremy will meet up at Mark’s place when they got back as arranged!  But the beer was in my fridge! – Well I said to myself as I was riding & thinking - No problem! – as Mark will surely have beer at his place & the boys will have enough to quench their thirst!!  - & Arthur & I will join them directly at Mark”s’ when we get back!   - & I will replenish Mark;s beer from Rob;s beer!  Now I learn that you guys – including Dave & Jay, I assume – were waiting at my place for me to get back! - & have a few cold ones! But I was way late getting back!- & hence you all finally did go to Mark’s!  So regardless of the above mix-up/mis-understanding – I apologize to you all for keeping you waiting! -& no cold beer! Not a good thing given the hot humid evening!

And Then There Were None

Well we no longer have anyone with perfect attendance.  And both guys losing it on the same night.  Unfortunately Arthur lost his with some lame excuse about a backyard project getting done before the rain.  Here I thought Arthur had what it took to be a part of CRC but then this!  As for Ali, he was unavailable for comment at press time.
     The ride was hot and wet.  The south side of the tracks we assumed were very wet since the north side, which is usually dry, was also wet.  Malden is becoming overgrown.  Nobody had much motivation last night was we wrapped it up in under and hour and a half.  Thanks to Jacques for supplying the sausages and cold beer :).  Next up for beer is Rob then Jay.  But since nobody reads their emails or the blog you probably won't know that.  However I am on vacation and will have plenty of cold beer handy.
     We have also put out another APB on another missing member.... Dave.  Someone said they saw his bike on Kijiji???
