Patterned after the fine, <a href="http://almanzo100.blogspot.com/"> Almanzo 100</a>, the Ragnarök 105 promises to be a suffer fest, and coming early in the year, will be a barometer for how our "fitness" is progressing. Of course, in preparation for the R105, we do have the 40K 40oz ride on January 19, and the venerable Slick 50 Spring Classsick Mud Ride, on March 15, which, coincidently is also the finish line for the <a href="http://bikesatan.blogspot.com/2007/11/beard-off-2008.html"> 2008 Beard-Off Exhibition.</a>With a beard, you don't need a balaclava...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5978155101167298445-3877334775510674628?l=bloodclotbicycle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bloodclothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12406052299979755612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978155101167298445.post-23128877850904915542008-01-04T13:13:00.000-08:002008-01-04T15:11:04.978-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dm4a0buWwVI/R365MFPKPtI/AAAAAAAAAA0/DLUSUY6pZ2Y/s1600-h/IMG_3581.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dm4a0buWwVI/R365MFPKPtI/AAAAAAAAAA0/DLUSUY6pZ2Y/s400/IMG_3581.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151758640973758162" /></a>So this morning, the <a href="http://www.lunaticbiker.blogspot.com">Don of Minneapplepuss Bike Bloggers</a> made an appearance at the Bloodclot HQ. [see above photo.] A "global" minion soon followed, leaving a trail of empty macaroni & cheese boxes and Camel straights in his wake. The sad thing is, both of these "cyclists" (sic) drove automobiles to the heavily fortified compound. There was much banter about infiltrating other heavily fortified bastions of local bicycle cesspools, but I fear that the obdurate chef was forced to retreat to his suburban Mother-inlaw's home to dream about track racing.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dm4a0buWwVI/R368e1PKPuI/AAAAAAAAAA8/JQorztWwJbY/s1600-h/torlenners.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dm4a0buWwVI/R368e1PKPuI/AAAAAAAAAA8/JQorztWwJbY/s400/torlenners.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151762261631188706" /></a>In other nooze, we're still working on our team kit.
