Some promoters don't have it so easy

Here's a great video that was forwarded to me by a couple different people today:




All that being said, I have been very lucky with the volunteers that I've had for the two races I've helped to promote, and I can only feel bad for anyone who has to deal with unpleasant characters such as the ones in the movie.

I'm heading to Washington DC in a few hours to visit a cohort of friends and family I have down there, a trip that I'm very excited about. I'm also excited that I decided to fly, rather than drive, as it will cut my total travel time for the weekend by about 60-percent.

Anyway, here are the weekly hits:

Tops from the week:
1) Training-rides-turned-races.
2) Off-season "training" sessions at The Local -- two this week!
3) Nice fall weather over the past few days.
4) I've got a Serotta for the last 'cross race of the year -- yes, THAT Serotta!
5) The winter beard is coming in nicely.

Bottoms from the week:
1) DOT proposal on rumble strips.
2) HUGE pile of dishes to wash before I can ride.
3) Roller sessions. Not so many yet, but winter is nearly here.
4) The ongoing debate regarding aero equipment in collegiate racing. Who cares?!
5) My luck in traveling via airplane. Let's hope today's trip goes better!
