Tornado

Apparently there was a tornado while they rode.

Road Ride or Mountain Bike Ride?

     Crazy night with the weather.  First the ride look like it was cancelled, then it was on but a road ride (sorry Jay), then a mountain bike ride, then a last minute change back to a road ride.  However, this last change was made too late for some CRC riders.  So, the more masculine CRC riders showed up with their mountain bikes (Jim, Craig, Ali) and the more girlie CRC riders showed up with their road bikes (Dave, Arthur, Todd, Mark).  Jim actually abandoned his trip out west to make the ride tonight.  So we headed our separate ways, agreeing to meet back at 8:30.
     Despite the rain, the trails were in good shape, although some corners were a little slick.  Jim lost his focus for a second and went down hard in a corner.  His thoughts were elsewhere :).  I don't know what was going on but we saw a ton of deer in the woods tonight, including a very large and intimidating buck the I am convinced was looking to take us out.  However, we failed to keep our promise to return at 8:30.  Jim opted to lengthen our ride so we did not arrive back until 9:00.  However, it was Ali's turn for beer (good job by the way) so the female half of CRC was left sitting thirsty waiting for us to return.  The road group did 50 km, mountain did 30 km.
     Sitting around tonight was probably one of the funniest nights in a long time.  Surprising too since Jay wasn't there.  But we spend a lot of time reflecting on past escapades and funny things that have happened (Ali's best crash, our best trip, our best Blazing Saddles imitation).
     There was also talk of Pinkney this Saturday.  Email Mark.  Michigan game?  Next up for beer is Todd but he is flipping with Jim.  Don't worry Arthur, I keep track of it.  Also, there was talk about the lack of a blog the last 2 weeks......
