Hell yes for Tria, homebrew, AND this race. I may break my race-hibernation for this.

Maybe a checkpoint could be at my place in north philly, where you have to drink a homebrew and change a diaper. Cause I'd like nail that *****.

Also, shark, post more often, because you quoted me in yo' sig. I don't want to open a thread anywhere on BFSSFG (even in Family and Recreational) and not see my name plastered at the bottom of a post, so that all shall know the greatness.

I have places to stay in NY and Philly, and will be at both races.
I mean, if you don't have something lined up already that is.

So, I don't think I can afford to take off 3 consecutive weekends from work plus pay for gas to Philly, especially given my current bike situation.

But yeah, this weekend is Easter, so I'm going home to see the fam, weekend after April Fool's is an alleycat here, and you gotsta up your local scene.

I'll be thinking about you guys racing/drinking while I'm working/drinking, though! Hope everybody rides safe and has a **** ton o' funs.

You Eastern PA ladies and gentlemen should come to OUR alleycat, though. It's a Jesus theme!

make sure you hit new york before 10:30-10:45. the last philly connecting bus leaves sometime around 11, but usually earlier. that being said i'll be there, getting dailey drunk.
