I'm so psyched for this race. I haven't ridden all week, so I'm going to die.
Better be other people in costumes, cause I don't wanna feel silly.
Well now,
isn't that the point.
Help?
Anyone think they'll be able to give my derailleur a look over? I had a bad case of chain suck the other day and it threw my front der outta whack. Ever time I touch that thing I end up in worse shape than before.
Think anyone will be able to help me out before the 11am race tomorrow?
yeah - just bring it!
if i can't fix it someone else can...
well
if no one else can, then fuck it. I'll ride with a screwey derailleur.

the conyers race was fun; fm:race is awesome!
That was our first shot at promoting/organizing a cross race, and it turned out really well, so keep your ears open for more fm fun...
CX season is over and it was great, though way too short in my opinion. fm:race represented fuhrealz. Here's a summary:
FM was 6th in the Overall Team Competition (total of all racers scores)
FM was 7th in the Combined Team Competition (best score of one racer from each cat at each race)
Superstar Alex Clifford was 4th in Men's A!!!
Eric Nicoletti was 11th in A's after doing 2 races
Emily Brock was 8th in Women's A with only 2 races
Nico also picked up 23rd in the B's with 2 races (fixed!)
In Women's B, Kazz Neal raced 5 races for 10th place (of 25)
In the Master's Category Bob Bourne (aka Tall Bob) took 14th place. Bob missed a few races after a nasty fall and a cracked rib at the Savannah race, and still toughed it out to take 10th place in the Conyers race yesterday.
In the C's, there were a total of 156 racers throughout the series, and FM had an awesome turnout!
Chris Lewis took 32nd
Bob Donlan was 35th
X-topher Rampton got 37th
Eric Burke came in 41st
Jim Hodsgson was 51st
if you're counting, X and Burka-Burke did 2 races, IronDude Jim did 3, and Bob and Chris did 5
The rankings show regular FM contributor ToeKnee Bullard at 119th, but something is wrong because it doesn't show his points for yesterday's race. I'm sure Tony was Top 100.
In an even worse scoring mistake, I'm listed as 139th in the Men's C's, having beaten three people in Macon. However, as everyone knows, I had my pre-race ritual in the middle of the race (in the portapotty after the first lap), so it is impossible that I beat anyone. I apologize sincerely to those three fellows and hope for some recognition for my glorious DFL.
In the best category of them all, SingleSpeed, Nico did two races (again, fixed) to bring in a 17th place. A-Ron showed up yesterday and got 14th place, which earned him 35th in the series. Bob D and I tied for 41st/42nd place, and Bob B pulled in 50th after only one race.

woah...
