Housekeeping

It's been a busy week. Things have fallen through the cracks. It's time to get them back out.

Six Hours of Warrior Creek. The real problem?

Number 13. I checked all the old race plates I have on the wall. Never have I been served the unlucky #13. I shoulda known that not only had my luck for the race been affected but for the Team Topeak Ergon contest as well. I've had the #66 four times and #6 two times, not to mention my awesome Micheal Jordan #23 from the Burn 24 Hour Race. Never a 13.

13... balls.

If I get it again I will throw it in the promoters face and go home.

I am no longer sour about the contest I lost earlier this week. Life is still good, I have my health, two or three Canadians are headed my way to share beers and trail with before the weekend is over, and I've still got this coming up:

Sure there's PMBAR before that, but right now the big meal coming up on my plate is TSE. So far four people have taken advantage of my Trans-Sylvania Epic Incentive Package, which means I only have one left to offer. When they're gone, they're gone. I mean, where am I gonna come up with more Chill Bottles, That Butt Stuff, and Awesome Strap Whammer Deals?

I want to do another stage race (or two) before the year is over. Todd Branham has decided to open up a blogger's contest for the Pisgah Mountain Bike Stage Race for 2011. I guess I'm a little late to the party in noticing the due date for the application, March 31st. Maybe you could send him a bottle of scotch with your application... who knows. I haven't seen the voting open up yet, so maybe there is still time.

Speaking of voting, this is for someone else, not me (occasionally I do things for others).

I was contacted by Anthony Delorenzo (fellow Misfit rider and all around swell guy) to endorse his pink Industry Nine wheel riding wife and help her get a free ride to the 2011 BC Bike Race. She is one of the eleven local Kazlaw mountain bikers up for a chance for a free ride.

Read about Sierra here, vote for her here, and watch her ride here:

Hopefully next week I'll have images of Canadians in the NC wild... and in a bar. Imagine that, a Canadain drinking beer and maybe even some milk out of something other than a plastic bag.
