So, how did we do coach?

How did we do on the whole Team Topeak Ergon Basecamp video contest? Not too bad. Percentage-wise the numbers were interesting. The number of people reading my blog VS the number of people who watched the video VS the number who liked it VS the number of people who left a comment? I don't know what the numbers mean, but I would love to see those three groups all fight each other, kinda like this:



To those of you that went over and watched it AND then left a comment or at least clicked the mouse one more time to like it, thank you. Hopefully you will get your entertainment value this May.

To those of you that went over watched it but couldn't muster the energy to click your mouse one more time before you started surfing porn... seriously? Can't you use your mouse one handed?

And to those of you who did nothing after reading my whole post yesterday?

We (those that cared enough to go the extra .0005 mile) will all blame of you (that did nothing and watched porn) this May if I don't win. It will be entirely your fault when I start doing more Virtual Tours of my bike room style posts.

Next up is "Part Three: What's in the Big Blue Bins?"

Some of you noticed that Michele Zebrowitz is doing quite well in the contest, in terms of likes and comments.

I can understand that. She's got a great story and she's very attractive. I would say she's handsome, but I reserve that term for Rebecca's boy toy Grig Martin and substantial single speed class prize monies. She's also a southern girl with a shit ton of facefriends, like almost twice as many as I have. You should see what they have to say about her.

I suck at facebook. I was late to the game, and up until about two months ago I only sent about 5-10 friend requests. It just seemed so pathetic, asking people to be your friend seems desperate, like a lonely 1st grader with buck teeth, four eyes, and highwater Toughskins might do on the playground. Something I can not relate to in any manner.

Alas, it has caught up with me. My lack of facefriends could be my undoing. That, and it seems that my average blog fan may have basic antisocial characteristics, a limited attention span, and a love of porn. For every 4 people liking Michele's video she had 1 person commenting on it while my ratio was 5 to 1. My people can click a mouse, but they can't form sentences.

Michele and I are not in the same category since Team Topeak Ergon will pick both a female and a male winner, so maybe I don't need to worry about her after all. I'm used to getting chicked anyways.

Today we enter phase two of my royal scheme. Yesterday you watched it, you liked it, you commented on it (very few of you), and now I'm asking you to share.

See how easy it is.

Share it with your facefriends and whatnot. Make it your thing to do today so you don't end up reading...

"Part Four: What's all this crap in the corner?"


If none of this makes sense to you, go read yesterday's post.

yes...
it helps to be cute
then...
it helps even more to be a cute woman

just last week at The National Bike Summit a friend of a friend who is a woman asked if had seen Dave Weins... she said she wanted to talk to him because she was interested in doing an off road hundred miler...

I said... I have gone to all the IMBA seminars and he has been at all of them... but withheld my opinion that it was an odd topic for the "absolute beginner" to ask of the "seasoned expert"

would I go up and talk about my desire to start skating with Tony Hawk... even though I can not kick turn?

well...
she is cute... so... after I met Dave Weins he seemed like such a nice guy that when I had the opportunity to introduce them I did

I am not a fly on the wall... so I am not sure how the conversation went

but she is cute
so I bet it flowed just fine

more than likely different than the conversation that we may have had if I talked about 100 milers with each other

I did it. I forced my friends to watch your video, or to at least be exposed to the name...Rich Dillen.

Now start posting more on Facebook (other than blog post announcements) and I bet your friends will see you more. Perhaps noting road kill passed during your daily duties. That's the kind of crap people read. Hey, if it's not worthy of a mention in your blog post, it's good enough for facebook.

Okay.

On it.

Done, but I guess you have to be my facefriend for all the boring details.

Your right, Michelle is hot! Thanks! I "liked" her right away! Are you sure your not in her catagory??

I followed the link yesterday.

I did not click the like button because I did not like it.

You have more of a knack for writing than videoing.

I Face-shared your video, just as you commanded. Now I'm gonna sit back and eat some nachos while I wait for my Facepeople to click away.

I am your facefriend. Heck, we're best facefriends. At least that's what I tell my friends.

You seem to be a closet Fisher fan.

I am sure I could use one of those Cane Creek boxes contents.

Maybe a lot of your demographic doesn't "do" Facebook. I know I don't and never will. I did watch your video though and there wasn't a meh button.
