Nice Try

  Well, attendance is really down.  By far the most in years.  Tonight was no different, only 4 dedicated riders.  Should I go down the list of excuses????

Ali.... family (ok, he gets a pass here because we actually got to meet them)
Jay...... golf vacation (aka beer drinking)
Rob...... Hawaii.... is this guy made of money????
Jeremy (more on that later)
Matt..... I need a rest day (please.... this is a rest day)
Dave..... Dave who????
Liam..... company in town that drinks all my beer so I have to stay home to guard it
Russ..... swollen labia
Arthur.. currently up for the end of year award "Fastest Decline From Top Attendance Spot"

Ok, back to Jeremy.  Jeremy showed up without riding and when asked if he brought chips, he said he brought beer instead.  Immediately we were impressed, not many CRC riders would do this when not there turn.  Upon further investigation it turns out this beer was simply remainders from last week.  And when questioned about the chips, he admitted he did not bring any.  Jeremy went on the defensive and actually tried to claim the "Fake Mark Jacques Eye Injury Award (circa 2009)", only it was his back.  When asked for his doctor's note or visual sign of an injury, he could produce neither.  Therefore, Jeremy was not awarded his 1/2 point tonight.  That sure didn't take long.  Only engaged for two weeks and already he is trying to pull fast ones on us.
     I don't think we need any beer for next week and there was talk of road riding from Mike's house next week.
