Options for Sunday

You can go race at Natz Schmatz. It is a cross race, Donnie had plenty of killer awesome Opa Opa brewery beer, it is only $20 and it is way hell of a lot closer than KC. Sure maybe you raced the day before at Ice Weasels. Certainly you can't get enough cross. No?

Well of course there is KC. But that's pretty well covered.

Now say your cross bike is all funky and dirty and you don't feel like washing it or touching it till september or october...

You can head down to Lincoln Woods, RI for a fun MTB ride.

Winter Warmer Fun Ride 12/14 

Hi all,
This coming Sunday we're holding a ride at Lincoln Woods. This is a fundraiser for the RI Foodbank. There is no cost to ride but please bring some canned goods and some cash to donate. We will also hold a raffle, tickets will be $1 as per usual. Big thanks to EFTA for helping out with the insurance! Info below:
RI NEMBA Winter Warmer Fun Ride at Lincoln Woods
Sunday 12/14 at Lincoln Woods State Park in Lincoln, RI.
What to bring: Your bike, a helmet and some canned goods for the RI Food Bank.
Why: This is a good time to avoid Big River & Arcadia because of shot gun season (6th -14th on public lands)
Cost: Nothing, just bring some canned food. There will be a raffle to raise some cash for the RI Food Bank.
Registration: 9-11:00 AM. 
1 arrowed loop: 10 miles with plenty of rocks and climbs to keep it interesting.
Please note: Arrows come down at 2:00!
Post ride Chili and goodies!
Raffle items will be supplied by our great sponsors (Providence Bicycle, Narragansett Bikes, Ski Market and Victory Cycles). Please support the local shops that keep RI riding!!
Directions:
Twin River Road Exit off of Rte 146 North or South. Head due East straight into the park, take a right at the kiosk/stop sign and travel approximately .2 miles. We will be set up near the double parking lots on the left. This is the same general area where we meet for the Friday rides. 

So yeah. You can head there. Will be fun. Instead of bringing $20 to race and drink beer you can bring a can of food and a wad of cash and do the raffle thing and Mt bike.


Tough call. Both events are about 25-30 miles apart. And all ya northerners want to come back down to balmy southern New England right?

I don't think I'll be at anything this weekend, but ya never know if I will be able to slip away with a bike stashed in the car.

You're not racing Saturday? Come on! Don't be a wanker. You can organize your Hello Kitty sticker collection some other time. You should race Saturday. If a wannabe cross racer schnook like me is thinking of doing it, you should be there with bells on.

If hosting Ice Weasels doesn't break me, I'm going to Natz Schmatz, cuz I can't get enough.
