I got some good
feedback from yesterday’s post. Sure, finding a cool new shop right next to some awesome out of the area trails is a great thing,
but other people told me about some bad experiences they had in bike shops, pretty close
to what I talked about yesterday (before I got into the good part.) It happens, and it’s different for everyone. I might have a shitty experience in a shop,
but someone else might tell me that it’s da bomb. I won’t mention any names, but I did see
someone at the Wilkes100 that got their bike serviced at a shop here in Charlotte (that they had
been to in the past), and there was a mechanical issue during the race that was
directly related to said recent service.
Luckily, a few of us were able to help get this person rolling again.
I wonder if they
will return to that shop for service…
I don’t do
everything on my own bike (I know, shocker.)
I do most things though, but when I can’t or don’t have time to fool
with it, I go to The Cycle Path. I always get great service, even if it’s not
on my own bike.
Anyway, enough with
the bike love. I don’t want to seem all
sappy and full of feelz. There are some
things coming up this weekend that I don’t want to forget about when we roll
into Friday.
First up,
registration for the 6 Hours of Warrior Creek opens
up THIS SATURDAY! At 9:00 a.m., you’d
better be logged in and signing up, or else you’ll be one of those sad people
on the outside looking in. This thing
sells out fast, like, in minutes. If
you’re not ready, at 9:01 you might be shit outta luck.
Don’t forget. I'd like to see you there.
Next up is a local
event held just two hours after registration opens for the 6WC.
The Backyard Experience (or BYE) is in it’s
second year, and the fine folks over there at Faster Mustache are planning a great day of riding, beer, and
other fun type stuff. Last year, we made
it a huge party.
None of that will happen this year. I mean, there’s no way we can top what we did
out there last year. I’ll be there to
heckle, but there won’t be any waffle tossing or anything like that. I’ll just watch and relax (with beer of
course.) Lunchbox does have a new
costume though, so don’t expect to see a 6’5” bovine out there. I’m not sure what else he has planned, but I
taught him well.
Anyway, registration is still open, so make sure you get
out there. It will still be an awesome
event, event if we don’t serve you a nutritious breakfast.
Is that it?
Nope. The very same day, the
folks up at Signal Hill are putting on a pump track jam in cooperation with our
local club, the Tarheel Trailblazers.
The Pumpkin Jam should be a great time, and I plan to be there too. I can’t be in two places at once, so
I will cut out of the BYE and make my way up to Statesville sometime in the afternoon. It will be a long day, but who gives a shit.
I’ll have more fun
on Sunday too. More about that
tomorrow. You know, because it will be
Fun Friday and all that.
