Bikes, lakes, and PAIN

First, we must apologize profusely to those of you who have been waiting eagerly for the next update. Things go slowly at this time of the season, but now that the first race of 2007 is behind us, we "promise" to be more attentive to the needs of you, the Team Seagal fan.

Second order of business: This weekend is looking to be the first big race of the season - the Rim Wrecker, put on by St. Louis Cycling Club at Council Bluff Lake. Mason Storm is hoping to continue his reign of terror over the Singlespeed class, while Casey Ryback and Gino Felino are planning on demoralizing the Endurance class. (That's right, it's 3 hours which should translate into eeking out 3 laps.) We're hoping it will be a good ramp-up to the Ouachita Challenge on the following weekend. One possible problem will be the rain that is showing up for all of this week. Rest assured though, we'll have our chinese herbs out while we're praying to the elders and the rains spirits, asking them to give us a dry race.

In other news, we seem to be attracting other badass people who want to be badass with us. In fact, last weekend's Lost Valley Luau looks to have lasso'd two more like-minded lads into our libation-laden lot; they're likely to lift our already elevated levels of liveliness, likewise we look forward to laughing a lot with them.

More to come after the race.
