Points were scant due to some great weather, but at least it motivated a surprise guest to finally grace us with his presence. The chess game has begun as more single speeds emerge in an attempt to climb the leaders board. This east end route continues to be a favourite among the riders.
Remember that ride No.6 is worth double points and that a single speed conversion kit is a small investment for WRCS greatness. Congratulations to Sue for taking a commanding lead in the womens category [JLo is a distant second].

What have Demi Vollering and Lenny Martinez got in common? One thing is
they both told their teams they were leaving earlier this season and
quickly felt...
Awesome ride, great weather.I think next time we should stay out longer, lets say 3 to 4 hours.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great ride today, but I felt like a mac truck stuck in 1st gear. Chow you are the wind beneath my wings.
ReplyDeleteIt felt like the summer Sunday rides I love it. Great ride every one, ATM you killed it at the last long stretch.... way too give it.
ReplyDeleteChico
A sweet ride today - at least this week I made it to the living room floor to sit and eat plus watch the Super Bowl
ReplyDeleteWhoever is posting as Sean K and pretending to be him, stop it...we all know Sean did not go riding today.
ReplyDeleteNice move Jme. Ian
ReplyDeleteBelieve it. SK was there. What is harder to believe is that he did not suck.
ReplyDeleteThat's because his boyfriend was protecting him from the elements.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Jeff was so fast... I didn't see the wings yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThere have been many questions in regards to earning points for the WRCS, some in jest, others a serious attempt to gain an advantage. I received the following email, nothing is sacred:
ReplyDelete"Dear WRCS Point Anointer
Since I will be in Fernie March 22 and possibly March 29 for the last WCRS ride, can I be an out of province participant and obtain my points?
I will start for the café “Freshies” at 9:00 am MT and ride 2 to 3 hours and I may be lucky enough to pick up other Fernie winter riders. According to the web site of the Fernie Mountain Bike Club they have no winter rides and probably due to the 15 foot plus annual snow fall. Maybe I can start something!
Please consider my request. If you are concerned about the reaction you will get from other WCRS riders, remember 'I am your Father'.
William – a loyal WRCS rider"
There is no way William will be awarded points.
IF YOU ARE VACATIONING ON A TRIP
YOU CANNOT DOUBLE DIP.
That's like asking your wife if you can have sex on a road trip.
ReplyDeleteDeduct points for asking.
WRCS Thanks for the wings I'm keeping them for the 09 season!! I'M BACK IN SADDLE AGAIN!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo doing just 5 kms is good enough for full points (Ian) but a 2-3 hour ride in 10 feet of snow by your own father isn't? I'm glad I'm not the point anointer; apparently the prerequisites for the job are hating your father and loving a bearded man in tights (Ian).
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I can't imagine having to ask permission to have sex on a roadtrip.
A final side note, welcome back, Chow. Favre thinks you made the right move.
Smarten up Chow!
ReplyDeleteI think anyone lying about their retirement should be deducted 100 points or removal of wings. Send a strong message.
ReplyDeletecan you have someone ride in your place, as long as it is your bike?? can you ride while away if your ride is captured on video/webcam?? Why did EmbracetheBike James not get any points, did someone just double him?? If I infact do doubleride someone can I get double points??
ReplyDeleteArm bands, Wings you played us for fools Chow! Ever read your children the story of the boy who cried wolf! If not you may want to give it a quick glance, becareful the wolf may actually show up sooner than you think.
ReplyDeleteI am retiring from blogging......
ReplyDelete......no wait, I'm back.
ReplyDeleteI am retiring from ripping on Chow..hmm, does this count as ripping on Chow................................................................I miss it already.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea these rides where happening, but great to see it ! I started a new bike site for Windsor recently too, so if you ever want to post on it feel free to register and post. I've been trying to get cyclists from Windsor to go on there and share their thoughts and views.
