Too funny, especially the scene in the vitamin water tent. Can’t wait until the next one.

Fatty and all. Big hugs. Very fun day, very tough race.

With pride, my daughter (6) tells everyone, I won a jar of pickles. She loves pickles…I must admit, they were very tasty.

Cool article today on Utah High School Cycling League:

Also, Mel – it’s okay to be a complete douche for prize money???? WTF? There is NO excuse to be a douche. EVER.

Um, Mel, YOU are missing the point. Fatchickonabike called it correctly. Please don’t try to say I’m a schill for the race. I live in Alaska. I barely ride my mountain bike (more of a roadie or cross chick) and I had never heard of this race before this blog post.

It tells ALLOT about someone’s character (or lack thereof) by how they react in certain situations. The racer who was a complete douche, wasn’t a douche because he called the meeting, it was because he was a douche in the manner in which he pursued it. You don’t have to be a douche to get things corrected. You can be a gentleman or a lady about it and not go around posting crap on Facebook (so cowardly) and telling someone to their face you are okay with the decision and in the same day, tell someone else you got “f**ked. I’m sorry. The dude was wrong and he is a douche who takes himself way too seriously. HE is the reason why cyclists get a bad name and are looked down upon. Some manners would serve him well.

To fatchickonsbike. You really do sound like your shilling for the race organizers. You say it’s a “thankless job”. Sorry, 150 dollars is more than enough of a thank you. You missed my point. The 1st place rider told Jay that he didn’t do the entire course and was still despite this given the prize money and told not to worry about it. In any universe, that is not the right course of action. He should’ve just said “we’ve got an issue and because of this were delaying announcing the results.” Further, we shouldn’t focus/bag on the guy who brings the truth to light.

Great series of articles. As to the race protest, in the words of Uncle Rico, “if coach had just put me in we could have won state!”

And thats why racing is lame these days, fault abounds all around and two faced a-holes are less of what we need. It sounds like the issue is more a poorly marked course, it happens. Were they marking times at Aid Stations/check points? sigh. You get the win for man points and not being a two faced Eldin. He’s back to the cub scouts.

IF you were a dirty rotten scoundrel, you would have dismissed that guy with a “Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.” Besides, I looked at his facebook page, you have bigger quads.

You make me smile, Fatty! I was cheering for you at the Silver Strike aid station!
