... that is the tempo.
Perhaps it's due to starting out my day by riding to the shop and taking the long route with the wind chill at -7 or perhaps it's because it's Friday or better still, maybe it's just me, but I have been a half step behind all day.
Case in point. I see on the TransIowa page that Jesse is listed in the Open class. So, as I am emailing with him about the new BKB kits, I ask why he's running gears and it takes a bit of back and forth for me to catch on that he's still rolling one gear. He simply signed on for open. "Why segregate?" Why indeed.

Donations are something I take pretty seriously, though I try to keep it somewhat personal or community oriented when possible. Something stuck me today. A comparison. For me, it's a polar opposite, but I know you could argue differently.
One man failed a drug test, has a large contract but would like assistance. It's impossible to know the truth. I won't pretend to or hazard a guess. But, I will not donate. Floyd.
The other qualifies for CX Worlds. Is likely racing on a small contract and a love of the sport. His governing body isn't footing the bill to get him there so he'd like a little help. To me, this is meaningful. I'm in. Tristan.
That probably should have been two posts. See? Slow.

So, question: do you have to be invited to get BKB kit? or can anyone order up some? I'm guessing the first, but thought I would ask you first before I embarrass myself.
Have you been rhymin' and stealin'?
my thinkin's kinda the same about TI but the other side of it is if ya win overall in the SS class, the beer'll taste better.
Gary, I have no idea. Jesse emailed me last year. I emailed him today so maybe I jumpd the gun and embarrassed myself. Wouldn't be the first time.
Munity on the bounty's what I'm all about...
I guess I can never have a kit because I gave $5 to Landis.
Why ? because it's my five bucks and he was the most entertaining thing at last years tour.
Entertain me people and $5 is your to.

wha? I wasn't saying there was any coorellation between the kits and the donations. Hence the comment about it needing to be two posts. though I do think your $5 is better spent. :)
So, I'm at a local end-of-season 'cross race today. The promoter of the Lumberjack 100 happens to be there, and he says to me, "Guess what? The Endurosnob is gonna be at Lumberjack! How cool is that!!"
I guess somebody loves you...

I just meant that morally I was on the wrong side of the fence.
I honestly realize that my biking ability and personality gave me the boot from the short list.
By the way I've decide that your proactive approach to helping was great and started a push to get our Canadian crossers money to race at worlds. So your drive was helpful and got another involved in community issues.
