lots of new options for routes this year, especially on Seymour… excited to see what happens.

considerations:

racing on baden powell/bridal path is not fun and will create conflict with other users
up the price to 10 bucks and give the 'volunteers' some compensation
food trucks ….. yes
multiple skill/gender categories ….. yes
multiple routes ….. i.e. riders can choose to race only the 2 easiest of the 3 or 4 trails, i think this will bring more people out. but i think you already knew this from the race with ladies only.

ps any word on a schedule?

Itchin' real bad. I was riding the shore the other day and Dre called me out for being fat and slow on the climb up Good Sir Martin.

Biking: As addictive as cocaine, twice as expensive!

Seeing as I've been living off of a diet of beer and Triple Os for the last few months, I can honestly say that no I'm not itching to race a fiver.

Time to make the switch to a solid diet of HTFU and raw eggs, Fivers happening mid April.

TheDon is out there eating nails doing uphill wind sprints while towing Jerry's up to Expresso 5x a day. You going to stand for that? Let him wipe the floor with you this year in the series?

Like a night in Vegas! Haha! We started to get some tailgating going last year. I think this year we need to step it up.
