Hey everyone, we are going to need about 10 volunteers to help out with the race. Some of the stops will have challenges, and we are looking for people willing to help out with that and come up with some sun ideas. The race will be Sat Aug 8th with registration starting at 5pm. The race should be over by 7pm. Please email me at tiffany.morrow@gmail.com if you wanna help out.

This race is for all levels of cyclists. The route will be fun - not grueling- and the stops will be fun. There will be tattoo gift certificate prizes for top male and female plus more prizes for 2nd and 3rd finishers. Also, there is a raffle for everyone who has entered or worked checkpoints. As always there will be $1 PBRs at Green Lantern, plus everyone who races gets some sort of 1st drink deal. We met with the PBR rep for Lexington and he plans to have some PBR schwag for the race, too! Registration will be $5.

The heat made it difficult.

Then I won a swanky Rudge.

Good times! Thanks, guys.

Mira and I had fun watching folks hula hoop seemed everyone had a good laugh so surely that was not what made some think "...it wasn't easy enough..."

I have hula shots I will try to post by the weekend.

Finally finished restoring the raffle bike today. Converted from three speed w/hand brake to single speed coaster. The Brooks didn't make it.

Damn, Logan... that looks amazing. Great job on fixing that thing up!

*edit: needs a frame pump!
