Busy Busy Busy

I've got a lot of stuff going on this week, a couple things you'll hear about tomorrow, and some race prep for The Tacchino, so posting has been pretty light. Speaking of the Tacchino... it's coming up this Sunday in Leesburg, VA. Why the hell haven't you registered yet? There will be fun, games, many races, big crowds, beer and sausage primes, and a redesigned course that will have a combination of very fast stuff, and interesting technical stuff. Plus it's at the great Ida Lee Park, with playgrounds for the kids and where you can hit this enormous 50 person jacuzzi after the race and shower and swim for a couple bucks. And it's in Leesburg, so there are great bistros and antique shops and whatnot, and you aren't far from the Leesburg outlet mall, where your girl (or your goth boyfriend) can go hang out if the racing is just tooooo booooooring. Plus there will be an irritating guy in a turkey suit! So go sign up now. I'll see you there.

My only other thought for today, is that I like Spam. I don't care if it is down market. I like Miller High Life too. I love the good stuff in life whether it's esoteric crap that only a few connoisseurs know about, or blue collar fun stuff that the culture snobs turn their noses up at. If it's good, it's good. Don't ask no questions, just enjoy it.

"50 person jacuzzi" sounds like a surefire way to end up on a course of Penicillin.

Just sayin'.

You say that like it's a badge of shame or something.

Then again... my favorite marquis driving up Route 1 through Elkridge last weekend to get to the trail workday at Patapsco:

Tip Top Motel
Rooms With Heart Shaped Red Jacuzzis Available.

I had to wonder - what quantity of bodily fluid is floating around in each one of them?

Don't forget the Haymarket race on Saturday.

"with playgrounds for the kids and where you can hit this enormous 50 person jacuzzi "

just what kind of sick twisted race is this going to be? I'll bring my white panel van.

Terry, so sorry I forgot that. I haven't mentioned it in several posts. BTW, readers, you should do that race. Terrible Terry is actually merely loathesome, though he goes by the moniker "Terrible" because his name is Terry, not Lawrence, and Loathesome Terry wouldn't be very alliterative.

Robb - the one equipped with bondage gear, or the race transporter? Oh wait a minute, same vehicle, isn't it...

AH - Yeah, that would be a bad job. I'm going to send that in to Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs - Jacuzzi Semen Skimmer.

why aren't there any Haymarket riders registered for Superior Cross on Saturday?

If there's only 50 people registered total, do we all race at the same time?
