Poor turnout! - ONLY 4 dedicated riders show up! -& NO BEER!

It was a beautiful evening - but only 4 true & dedicated (almost --) riders - jay, mike, rob & ali, showed up!

The trail was in great shape & the ride was fun! - but short for 3 riders who bailed out early! Why?? - well they used the same excuse as mike - sudden night blindness ! "  I can't see - it is getting darker in the trail"! - even when the sun had NOT set yet! Jay also said something about getting home soon for his ---goodies?? - & to look at the shoes that his wife needs for some gala!

Anyway all was well for a cold one - & jer also showed up for beer! BUT NO BEER!! ahhhh!

Yep -Jim failed to show up for the ride --& worse did not provide/bring the beer & chips! Where was Jim?? Hope he had a good excuse --or it was worth missing  the ride as it was agreed unanimously that a severe penalty will be dished out to him at the next ride!- & he is following the bad example of the out of shape & "don't give a shit attitude"- by the younger guthrie!

Till tomorrow!

Cheers!

Let's Go Blue

The weather gods smiled on us today.   We arrived at the golf course at 8:30, got a prime parking spot and broke out the games.  Rookie of the year, Arthur wasn't able to maintain his dominance in tailgating games as Jeremy dominated the games.  While it was quieter on the golf course this year, there was still plenty of activities going on.   Tickets were easy to be had.... some opted to buy at first chance and pay lots... others decided to hold out and get tickets for $12.50.    Some were not happy with their $12.50 tickets and chose to upgrade them at the last moment.  The game itself was close coming down to the last play of the game.  Thanks to Mark for cooking up great food all day, especially the steaks!!!!  The usual shenanigans took place but you had to be there to experience.  I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Nasty Weather

Did it ever get dark in the woods fast tonight as the storm blew in.  Despite the fact that Ali wanted to do another lap, other CRC riders opted to get home and that was no easy task in itself as the rain and heavy winds kicked up.  Nice to see Jim out for the ride however mysteriously absent post-ride.  Heard him say something about getting lucky this evening.  Mr. Heat made a very surprise appearance tonight.  He hasn't ridden with us since early July.  As a matter of fact, this may be the first time he has ridden with us in September.  Arthur also wanted me to make mention of the fact that he did NOT fall tonight.  Ali on the other hand.......  Also, Jeremy's medical leave was approved.
     Thanks to Arthur for the Moosehead.  Jim is up next week.  Hopefully he will show up on time, with his helmet and the beer!

Back to School

    The first week back at school also coincidently turned out the greatest CRC numbers of the year. Not much to say about the ride other than the fact the Jay doesn't read his emails, the Rookie of the Year, Arthur fell (again).  Apparently those new tires aren't as grippy as you think.  Jer shows up again without a doctor's note and no chips.  The lack of chips last night really hurt.  Even Ali's ass-flavoured chips would have been good.
Nice enough that Dave brought the beer (and good beer) but what happened to the chips?  I'll let Rob's email speak for the group.......

Dave,

That's very sad that you did not provide the requisite chips to go along with the beer.  First you forget the beer last week & now you expect us to be satisfied with a few beers & no food!?   Lucky you weren't present last night as you would have been linched!

You may just need to do all the cooking @ the Michigan game to make up for it!!

Speaking of Michigan game.  Next Saturday, noon game.  Arthur we hope to watch you lose your virginity at the game and Ian..... be a man.  Next up for beer is Arthur and Jim (hopefully he will be joining us by then)

     What a great night at Mark's house last night.  While this is always a highlight of our summer, it was also a somewhat sad evening.  Some of the CRC members will be returning to work on Tuesday after 8 weeks of drinking, vacations and doing generally nothing.  Not surprisingly, we received little sympathy from those who had to work all summer (namely one guy who just returned from Hawaii).
     Mark provided us with a variety of our favourite tailgating games.  It was good see newcomer Arthur, takes the overall victory (sounds like he is in for tailgating) and Michelle Mousseau won theMichigan game is Saturday, September 14.  Don't forget ride starts at 6:00 this week. 

female category (could be wrong here but I don't recall any other women playing?).  Regardless, the victories stay in the CRC house.  Dave was also a big squares winner.  We know where that money will be going.
