I've been meaning to do this Red Wing to Lake City loop again. I think this weekend I'm going to combine it with the Wisconsin - Minnesota loop for a 90+ mile ride.

At this time I would like to announce the winner of the snark contest, also known as the July 2014 Grand Snarkathon ™.
We had a great field of contestants this year (compared to last year), and for one or two spells the competition was hotly contested. It was ugly at times, which in snark parlance is a good thing. Subtle insults and veiled innuendos were flying thick as pea soup. But I digress.
The winner of the Snarkathon IS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . drum roll . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . none other than . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . more drum roll . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SURGEONSTONE!
Ol' stoney pulled out the victory primarily due to perseverance. Whereas other contestants faded and pretty much disappeared over the last few days, stoney hung in there slinging veiled insults to the very end. That level of professionalism and dedication should not go unrewarded. As I present the 14k gold trophy, lets have a big hand for our champion, Surgeonstone!
Thank you, thankyouverymuch!
As well I'd like to acknowledge the talented field of runner-ups. Although yours truly BillyD put on a late spurt with the 'Fanatics' post, it was too little too late. He sucks! Hope he doesn't even show up for the next contest.
Our first runner-up was Ramona W. She nearly stole the show, but eventually came up just short. Thatsashame!
Mr. 3alarmer was scheduled to announce the second runner-up, but in his absence I will simply acknowledge the most noteworthy qualified contestants: RollCNY, Ruokie, 3alarmer (a former champion and perennial all-star), Whhoosshh, Halfspeed, Velo Vol, Coasting, and Datlas . . . . in no particular order. Thanks for participating, better luck next time you scrubs!
Once again, congratulations to our champion and to our runner-ups as well, and see you next time. Your prizes are in the mail.
BTW, if your name wasn't mentioned you are obviously too damn nice. HTFU and try again next time. Wimps!

An outsider. Not happening.
Here you see a true professional at work, never letting up, constantly on the prowl to lay somebody out. We should pause to admire his tenacity. Outstanding!
