You should read this



Dear readers,
It is very important that you know what this race is all about before booking your plane tickets, getting time off work ect...
This is not a serious event by any means. There is no cash prize. I dont even think there will be a podium unless you count standing on a 50 l keg at a bar. But you won't even have to win to do that. Nope, no money. But count on something better than cash. Something very awesome is in the works right now.
Also, being the kind of guy who enjoys suffering as much as fun, I plan on making a course with enough technical climbing and also a good amount of flowy joy filled easy sections to rest your legs. But be on the look out for mud pits, cyclocross style obsticles, and maybe some barbed wire seeing as PEI is 70% farm land.
And don't even think of showing up if you dont like live music, weird people, or beer. I mean, we won't force feed it to you, but I expect there to be lots of locally made craft ales available.
So there ya go. Take it or leave it. I understand if this isn't for you, but if it is, I gua-ran-T you will remember the 26th of September. (unless you were drunk in which case I will send you pictures of how much fun you had)

Cheers from The 2010 CSSC gang

Cold, wet, and hungry




So, it's 10:00 AM, and I'm eating some scones and coffee thinikng it's about bluddy time I post something for you to read until your next ride.

Well, I gotta tell you that the anual new years day ride was spectacular. A bunch of us meet at a little cross country skii hut in the northern part of the province. We all bring food( espresso, waffles, sausages, etc etc...), go for an hour ride on desserted streets and come back to the hut for good eating. The only thing better on new years day at 11 am would be sleep or more beer!
