    okay ladies... it's less than a month away and today 6/11 is the last day to order your goodies.

    I'm okay enough shape to do two passes not five. Do I want to drive just for the two pass ride?? I would love to get goodies so I can taunt a cyclist at my office. but that's not a good enough reason to go there right?? Bad karma. So like, I really have to decide to buy the stuff and go or give away my slot for the dath ride. Also my car is bit iffy and sure would not like to be stuck so far away from home. That will be very expensive. I could swing over to San Jose area and crash at this guy's house except he is single and it just doesn't look good. He would like to have me drop in and stay at his place

    I might be able to make it up to top of Ebbets pass if i swap out to a compact double...

    what to do...

    I think you can pretty much buy all of the stuff while at the Death Ride when you pick up your packet. The only thing I want every year is the 5 pass finisher jersey. Although I hardly ever wear it. Better memento then the pin.

    staying home for fear of being stranded far from home with broken down car.

    Besides, if you do the ride, mind as well do all five and get the jersey!! then YOU REALLY CAN TAUNT OTHER CYCLISTS. I'm bad.

    And since I'm no going to do the ride, its just plain bad form to be buying the goodies. I'm not too fond of posers.

    That's my plan for next year. Hope to see you there!

    In the meantime, melissam and dachshund shall subtly taunt me with the 5-pass jerseys they earn this year. Oh and maillotpois will add to her collection. darn them
