OK...for the Warriors Race, remember, teams can't consist of more than nine members, and you have to finish with at least five. If you can't get a whole team together, you could always volunteer to be on The Rogues (those are the peeps who try to fuck everyone up). It would be totally cool if you guys could be there.
alkaline:
-If the Stonecutters team is a go, then you can ride with them (Brother vs. Brother...I'll totally kick your ass)
-no the new bike isn't paid off yet.
-switch to a small chainring to save your knees and skidd easier (I just switched to a 39-14)
