My annual "go to Greensboro, make bad decisions, turn a twenty four mile event into a fifty mile ride, and hang with my other better half, Watts" trip.  The King and Queen of the Watershed is the "Race.Ride.Party." event with the priorities listed in reverse order, or mebbe just in our case.  Dunno.  Pretty sure they give you beer tickets, and if you don't need them, I know two guys with four thumbs and two bad haircuts who do.  A couple hours of intense effort over five stages is exactly when I've not been training for (never have tho TBH), but it's a great way to blow out my entire body at the almost end of the "season."  The scabs from my wreck three weeks ago have fallen off my bendy parts like autumnal leaves (with some encouragement), but my AC joint and hand are still slightly angry at me for still being alive.  Guess I'll ride my mid-squish single speed and load up on ibuprofen Sunday morning.

And when I get back...

Monday is the last day I'm taking donations for the Horny Cat 69 bike ride/party.  FWIW, HandUp just sent me a buttload of giveaway "prizes."

There's like 50-60 something pairs of gloves, socks, jersey, fenders, hats and whatnot in that pile.  These will hopefully be distributed in a more organized manner this year, assuming I'm not in the emergency room for the better part of the day.  So for your (minimum) donation of $13, you get pizza, beer, a bike ride of some distance up to 69 miles, and something worth something.  This has to be the best idea for a self-sustaining economy since the invention of Paddy's Dollars.

Most of the details are here in an older post or on the Facebook events page (which just sends you back Paddy's Dollars' style to the blerhg post).  If you know enough already, and just wanna throw your money in the cup, send me an email at smellycat100k@hotmail.com, and I'll get back to you at my convenience.
