Jeremy Found!

     Ok, it turns out Jeremy is still alive and in shape.  His excuse for missing the last two weeks?  Baseball.  Not on Wednesday nights however, on Tuesday.  Apparently he is too sore after baseball on Tuesdays to ride on Wednesdays.  So maybe I'll take that "in shape" comment back.  At least he brought the beer and chips this week!
     Ride tonight was pretty ho-hum.  Not a lot to get excited about, other than the fact the trails are in absolute perfect riding condition.  A lot of other people on the trails.  I was surprised that Ali didn't invite them all back to Mark's place.  Jay shit his bike shorts on the trail (we suspect).  No need for Dr. Nagy to perform emergency surgery even though he brought his gear tonight.   Mike, on another vacation.
     I guess the big news is the attendance standings.  Jay, Arthur, and Dave at the top of the attendance?????  Next up for beer is Dave.

Paging Dr. Nagy

    Apparently Arthur has traded in his Daisy Dukes for hospital scrubs???  Arthur came to my rescue tonight when a massive bug (ok, it felt like it at the time) decided to fly into my ear and hang out for a bit.  I have to give Rob some credit here, he held the flashlight while Arthur used a twig (felt like a stick) to dig into my ear and fish out this flying nuisance.  It was a long process and yes, Arthur did go too deep at one point (insert joke here because they sure did).  In the end, Arthur was able to convince this flying monster to bite on the twig and he pulled him out of my ear.   This may be the end of the story for Arthur and Rob but the psychological trauma will be long-lasting for me.  So if you have a medical emergency on the trail, Dr. Nagy and nurse Charlebois have you covered.
      Getting back to the ride.  It was a hot one and only 5 riders braved the first hot day of the year.  Trails were in mint condition.  We managed 30 km in under 2 hours.  Thanks to Mark for hosting (even if he wasn't there for the first beer) and Mike for bringing the bevvies and chips  even though he didn't ride.   Big shift in attendance this year.  Jay at the top???  Ali on the bottom (insert joke)???? Next up for beer... Jeremy then Dave.
   
AWOL Report

Jeremy Comartin.  Last seen at Greenshield wearing a dress (according to reports)

Ian Ross.  Last seen typing excuses on his computer at work

And So It Begins

    Well the 2016 biking season has officially kicked off (although I don't know that they had quorum).   The trails were a little on the slick side and I could tell from Arthur's face.  I have attached the beer list and big kudos to Jim for going out of his way to ensure we had even though he wasn't riding.  Usually we don't hear from him until August.  So way to go Jim for being on the ball!!!  Here is Ali's report (shitty report too I might add)......

5 riders rode (Mark,Arthur,Jay,David,Todd) and heard the trail was in excellent shape!

Beer shows with chips –Moi/Ali (+0.5)

Beer shows – No chips – Mike (–0.5)!!!- can be redeemed if he brings a bag the next time!

Honourable mention:

     Jim dropped premium beer earlier-as per rules! (but NO chips! – so pending – 3 bags!).  Todd brought chips – complementary!  Beer consumption – 19 – rather high - mostly by ------? 

Highlight of the evening – everybody was admiring & advising me on my tree without any leaves!

My thoughts....  Todd is once again going for a perfect season.  Dave's bike won't last much longer.   Ali's bike will be in repair for the next month.  Mike will max out his chip allowance.  We won't hear from Jim again until August.  Rodney will make an appearance.  Jay will shart on a ride, ending it early.  

    Next up for beer.... Mike and then Jeremy.

Welcome to a New Family Member

I know it has been a while that anything has been posted here.  Of all the years to continue riding, this has been it.  However, I am proud to announce that we have a new member of the CRC family.  Yes, Arthur has purchased a new bike.  Congratulate Arthur on his beautiful new purchase.

Pizza!

     You know it is near the end of the season when CRC heads over to Caboto for pizza.  Great night for pizza too as the rain tonight made it impossible to ride.  Funny how on pizza night we have record attendance.  Actually, we had almost perfect attendance.  The only rider that didn't make it was Daisy Nagy.  Rumour has it he was home cutting off his next pair of riding shorts.  Even our first retiree from the group made it out.  Nice to see Liam.
     Normally pizza night doesn't count for attendance but once we realized Daisy wasn't among we quickly voted to make this an attendance night.  You know... quorom and all.  Is the season over?  That is TBD!
