Jerky and Faster Mustache! So similar....


Glenn sent a box of jerky and Jansen is addicted.  I have yet to see him without a piece in his hand. 

(On a side note; Shey's dog jumped on the counter and totally bypassed the box of jerky, but ate the neoprene handles off of my lunch bag.  WTH???)


THEN it was time for Faster Mustache's WTF ride.  Woods to Farm is an in-town stage race the FM guys came up with to celebrate 10 years of bikes and beer together.

Loose Nuts Cycles got a fire going.  Leftover scraps, not ghetto at all and keeping it warm in February.

Then WOOD arrived!!!  He's like a super hero in plaid with a really cool dog. (oh, and his van runs, mine doesn't, so bonus points for that)


Registration was at Loose Nuts.  This was very early.


Within and hour the line was around the block and Eric was cackling insanely at the stress of it all and Chris wouldn't give up his tape and one of the Ramptons kept saying No More Day Of Race Registration, but there WAS MORE and muffins and coffee were hastily inhaled by others and the bathroom line was sketchy, so I held it.

Then we were off.  Alex and I were in charge of the scoring.  Alex is really into high tech cycling clothing and backpacks made out of that crazy expensive interstellar material, as seen in photo.


Then we hit the dirt.


This view was pretty amazing.  The train of riders was long and giddy.


The first stage was in a cool wooded area where is looked like bodies had been dumped after being mugged.  The race went off without a hitch.  I worked scoring with a great guy, Kevin?  The course looked very cool and the racers had a blast.

The second stage started near this train trestle.  It was awesome.  Tough course with burritos waiting for all at the end.  I'm sure there was a mobile beer keg, too.




Ooooh, trains!

The last stage was through some pretty cool singletrack, then it was back to the Trailer Park for the party!

Trailer Park backyard fun!

I took off as soon as we tallied up the stages and before the party kicked off.  Great day with lots of great people on wheels!



HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY FASTER MUSTACHE!!!!
