Hmmm

So why aren't all the cross races in NE like the ones in this shot?

Notably the top of the frame? For Zoo... THE KEGS

Granted i've cut back (except for moments of indiscretion like monday) to nearly zero consumption of ETOH containing beverages (which made for the problems with monday night)... but i think the spectators and racers would have more fun if there were barrels scattered around and people consuming and cheering and all that...

Eco-cross was one... prolly best part of the race! BEER...

Maybe the Mid-Atlantic is the place for spectators and the not so serious racers... New Englanders are just way too freaking up tight for their own good... sure its produced a few freaking alien like cyclists... can't deny that...

And wtf is the gd holiday on friday?

It is Veteran's Day, but it is not this Friday, it is next Friday. I am surprised that you don't have it off. WTF?

Bike racers don't know how to party. A few years ago there was an awards banquet every January, sort of like the present day NEBRA banquet. Everyone got there late, because they had to get their precious ride in. Then they would have one Miller Lite before it was time to sit down to the dinner, suffer through hours of awards and bad public speaking, and then listen to whoever the guest of honor was, usually some tool like Chris Carmichael. After dinner, it would be, oh my god, 8:45, and everyone would take off like there was a fire.

If you really want to brew down with the homeboys, you have to join BOB and come to the Oriental Garden with us in February. Nothing like Mai-Tais and Johnny Cash karaoke to kick off the season.

I don't know that i've ever had Vets day off...

didn't know it was an official holiday... i dunno...

i guess being stuck in the ivory towers of education or in the lowly service side industry of bike shops or as a self employed musician (by proxy) vacation days like that don't exist...

If your kids went to public school, they would be home that day.

A lot of private companies shit-canned it in favor of taking the day after Thanksgiving off. Luckily, I get both.

They told us today we were getting the Vets/Thanksfriday shift.

I was planning my annual Veteran's Day mtb ride too. It's the only day the bike sees daylight.

Mebbe a Thanksfriday mtb ride?
