Hot One!

   My car said 33 degrees at ride time.  Which might explain why so few of the hardend CRC riders showed up.  Ian, check.  Rob, check.  Dave, of course.  Jay, a surprise but check.  Ali, check.  Nothing much to say about the ride except that it was uneventful, unmotivating and hot.  The only thing we were looking forward to was having a cold one in Mark's pool.  Oh wait.  Mark was unavailable tonight so we had to settle for Ali's backyard.  Don't get me wrong.  Ali, I love you and hanging out in your backyard but on this night..... well, you spraying the hose on us just didn't suffice.   Good thing that I brought cold beer (Sol) on ice to ease the pain.  Next up for beer is Jay, Ali, Todd.  Todd?  Todd who?

Wild Weather

      What a crazy night of weather!  We started the ride with blazing hot temps.  An hour and a half in the trails got dark and it started to cool down.  As soon as we left the trails the rain started.  It was sideways rain and all of us got totally soaked.  However, we did get in a pretty good ride.

Some things to note from tonight's ride:

1.  Dave's perfect attendance is still intact

2.  Arthur's Daisy Dukes made another appearance.  You would think all the teasing he got last year.....

3.  No Mark or Ali!  Where to drink?

4.  Jay Lamb????  Enough said.

5.  Ian Ross????  Enough said.

     As for point #3.  Thanks Mark for use of your backyard.  However, in the future can you please ensure that your gazebo is rain proof.  Yes, we sat in the rain and drank beer.  Most of us were already soaked and it was hot.
     Lots of beer tonight as Ian, Jay and Arthur all brought.  Mark, leftovers in a cooler left by your garage.  Next up for beer is Arthur then Craig.

Should it Count?

 

   So some west side riders took advantage of scattered rain showers to sneak a ride on some of the east side riders.  Yes, all the riders on the east side of town were experiencing torrential rain while apparently South Windsor was basking in sunshine.  Did no one notice that no one from the east side showed up????  So the ride went ahead without us and they were all too quick to claim their attendance points.  Those riders that were not there are taking the high road and decided that you can have your attendance points this time.  

     That is everyone but Ali.  Ali is being docked a full attendance for 

                                1.  Not being ready at 6:30.  Knowing you have a flat is no excuse.  

                                2.  Not fixing a flat on your own.

   Next up for beer Ian and then Arthur.
