I've been on the 41 a bit more than normal the past few days and it truly is brutal. I've had to stop myself from posting some comments I'd probably regret. I'm glad the 33 is the way it is. We are a bit odd, but it works.

Is that just NCNCA or California?

Not that being an NCNCA Champ is insignificant, its still a district of 16 million people give or take.

sweet YG! something our team and others locally have done for district champions was to have their kit supplier (pactimo in our case) do a one off that incorporated our district champion jersey into the team kit. it came out kind of cool.

I should really know better. I often find myself typing a response, then canceling the post. I didn't stop myself in time with that thread.

The weird thing is, I'm relatively chill IRL (no, really, it's true!). Something about the internet, man.

bravo!

Now, what's the "rule" with the jersey? You should only wear during Road Races? Masters Road Races? Or whenever?
