GEEZER CYCLOCROSS RACERS ON CBS NEWS, PARTING MUD SHOTS, AND THE CRAZY BASTARD CHRISTMAS CARD

Okay this was big news, like yesterday. CBS does a story about geezers exercising and chooses a cyclocross to prove their point. If you'll look closely enough you'll see a 70+ woman racing - I believe she's won several National Championships in a row in that categories. Anyway I think it is funny how they talk about stretching and not over extending yourself (when you get older) while people are falling over some barrier that look too high.

SAY GOODBYE TO THE MUD? COULD THIS BE THE LAST WE'LL SEE OF IT THIS YEAR?

A few parting shots that I liked from the State Championship last week taken by Adam McIntyre with his new phone. 

Have a seat. A shot by of my perch after the race. I didn't spend much time on the seat, it was pretty much an on and off affair.

The downtube's total shit, but that tire sure is clean.

The always favorite muddy crank shot. It looks like there's a squirrel sitting on top of the front derailleur and he's about to take a shit on the chain ring, doesn't it? Okay, I forgot to take my meds this morning.

CRAZY BASTARD CHRISTMAS CARD DESIGN CONTEST

I love contests, don't you? Especially in the age of social media. I mean if you don't have a f*cking contest everyday, well you're just not going to get that "LIKE" are you? In yet another stupid contest on this blog that no one pays attention to I'm asking for submissions of Christmas Card Design ideas. Just as in the Jeremy Powers Imitation Contest the example we are going to show you is far better than anything you'll ever come up with, so it's not really a contest, it's like just kind of we're in you're face, yeah we're cool, you're not. Again all this provided by Big Mac.

Here's the cover. If this little f*cker were standing in the middle of a dirt road it would be better. And instead of the "or else" it could be "Or I'll Get Your Ass" or "But Not Here!" or "And Go Home Bastards!"

For the inside of the card we will have one of those recorded messages. Only instead of it playing a Johnny Cash or Roy Orbison tune, like they all do at the Hallmark store, we're going to have audio and video. We will of course edit this to have a more Christmas feel to it. But not much.

Experience the joy of the Killer "Christmas" Chihuahua ...

Well think about your own Crazy Bastard Christmas card and email me your ideas. Also - there probably won't be a post tomorrow, but on Monday there will be a special BIG BAD WOLF report on the outcome of Sunday's race. This report has been in the works for sometime, and if everything works out as planned, it should be pretty good. Or bad, if you know what I mean.

Good luck to everyone that's riding or racing this weekend!
