Major Award

I'll admit it. I stayed up till 11:35PM last night watching the final episode of LOST.

Between being up at 5:00AM to volunteer at the local race and staying up late to cap off some 120 total hours wasted in front of a TV dedicated to one show means that this morning I'm rather tired. I can't say that going into details about my volunteer experience yesterday would be terribly exciting anyways. Probably the most thrilling thing all day was watching the single speed class go off (without me). Leyonce popped his chain off in the mad dash to get to the woods first, fell down, took out another rider, and got run over.

Tire tracks all across your back.

I can see you had your fun.

Saturday I got a package full of happy from Twin Six.

The Pie is pleased to show her support at the local grocery store and PTA meetings.

And of course I got my very own DDM jersey.

This is a poor photo of the jersey. I can make no apologies. Taking photos at night is hardly ideal when using the not quite up to snuff camera I found in the street, and The Pie tired quickly of watching me roll around in circles in my new racing togs. Think you could do better? Read on to the end for some contest details.

Who's got booster boots?

I got booster boots.

Pro riders, I mean the REALLY pro riders always break out the fancy duds for time trials, prologues, and special events. The best example of course would be Super Mario.

Now while I'm not quite a pro rider, I do play one on the internet. I'm quite aware of the fact that looking intimidating at a time trial is half the battle, and I'm thinking the white kit will get some use intimidating the hell outta some riders at the Trans Sylvania, Tour de Burg, and the Breck Epic this year. I'm thinking somewhere in the range of a 2-3 minute advantage over a ten mile time trial course.

And now, the contest.

Since I suck at photos and perhaps you think you can do better here's what I'm thinking... I want you to send me photos of yourself doing something totally unrelated to cycling while wearing your Twin Six jersey, any Twin Six jersey. Humor will be vastly appreciated, inappropriate use of the pockets could be key, and photos of the Liz Hatch fit method will certainly be taken into consideration. As long as whatever you are doing is totally unrelated to cycling it will be allowed.

What can you win? Twin Six has graciously allowed me to offer up any jersey from Twin Six you would like in any size (as long as it's in stock) as a GRAND PRIZE. I would highly reccomend a DDM jersey, but that is entirely up to you. This will be the first place prize, and as of yet there is no second place prize and a third place prize is right out. Once again (as in previous contests) The Pie will be judging the contest to keep it legit since I am terribly biased and would reward the first Liz Hatch type photo that showed up in my inbox.

The contest period duration will be close to two weeks. Since I'm leaving for the Trans Sylvania Epic in five days I'll be accepting photos until June 6th, at which point I will walk in the door from my long drive back from PA, turn on my computer, open up my emails, and demand that The Pie pick a winner.

Send your photos to: teamdicky at hotmail dot com.

All worthy entries will be used on the blog and that's about that.
