Pantani Ride - Wednesday Update

You'd better believe it, kids. The weatherfella' called for a foot and what did we get? About three inches. Story of my life. I just love it when someone else comes up nubby besides me.

So it's a good thing this time. The sun came out today, the wind blew like hell, and all in all I feel we've finally turned the corner, at least for now, on the winter of this hellish year of our lord, 2010.

That being said, and ignoring niner's post below for now because we're keeping our eye on the prize (that prize to be disclosed momentarily), The Pantani Ride is freaking on.

Address: 551 Allen Rd, Earlysville VA 22936. Googlemapit. Get your Gameface one. Get your Giddyup in Gear. 10 AM this Sunday.

Now about that prize, I make no claim that this would make Marco Pantani proud. Anything less than a premium, extra small, silk Castelli would probably make Il Pirata roll over in his grave, but what the hell, he was the pirate and this is our ride.

I present to you, the leader's jersey.


At the start, we'll take a look at the collective assortment of who has shown up, determine who doesn't look completely tubby and shut in, and call them the leader and make them wear it.

Then, a moment of silence, mostly to apologize to the Ghost of Marco Pantani about the jersey, and we'll have at it. Upon return, whoever makes it back first, it's your jersey for the year.

Remember:
1) print the route. http://www.mapmyride.com/route/us/va/rocky%20mt/846126409029586738
2) bring some serious tread, it'll be slick out there
3) Plan something nice for later in the day with your lady, fella', or whoever it is that is cool enough to let you come rally on V-day.

Up, Up, Up.

Scott can go on Valentine's Day if you take his picture in the leader's jersey. He doesn't necessarily have to lead, just pose %-)
