Weekend Warriors

A rare opportunity yesterday for a few BlackFly riders to get together and ride through Durham.

Despite getting poked in the eye with a branch (hence the squint) at the 1 k. mark and riding the rest of the 25 k. with only one eye, a great ride.

And if you look real close, you can still see the red Shiraz at the corner of Dean's mouth from the night before.
Way to go Hurricane!

Enjoy the summer rides everyone and make sure to bring your camera along and contribute to the blog.

No Squeezer This Year!

 No Squeezer for 2011!
Well, that sucks.  Hopefully, this will only be a one time thing and they can provide us next year with the race so many of us love, and expect to be our season ending event.  How can they do this?  Doesn't the 1000's of racers and supporters provide the Wine festival with that many extra visitors?  I don't know but the Squeezer organizers try and explain it here.

It's not the same, but there is the Fall 8hrs at Hardwood the day before and Chico is introducing a new race called the Tour de King for the following weekend. :(

Lake to Lake 2011

HOLY SEIZING LEGS, BATMAN!!!

I heard that one a few times after the race.   Another one was the near-perfect riding conditions.


A couple of teams were entered this year and the team of JohnL, Adam, Cam, ChrisB, and Muller came in 3rd, just a few minutes ahead of the other Black Fly team of Drew, Tony, ChrisL, Will and Fox.  Ian, Stitt and Marty all finished in the top 100. 

Too bad the BBQ portions were a little skimpy since I heard the Drew-man burned over 4000 calories!

Nice riding guys.
