West Virginians are thirsty.


When signing up at the Big Bear race a few weeks ago, they gave out some really nice pint glasses. I was pretty surprised as I thought those were only for the big boys racing in the endurance type of events. Side note- I've determined that the type of racer has a direct correlation to their personal alcohol consumption. See Jason, Rich, and Buddy. All endurance "racers", all drinkers, all the kind of guys I would probably end up hanging out with at a large camp fire. Anyways, after finishing third, I was awarded with this gem:

Sweet.  I was really really excited.  I ran up and claimed my wonderfully handmade mug and was greeted with another surprise inside; a season pass to the trails.  Apparently you have to pay a few bucks to ride there. Kinda neat as it helps with the trail upkeep.  I think it's a good idea, but probably only cause I don't have to pay it now.  Had I not won the pass, I would probably call shenanigans on the whole thing.  This is probably the second best thing that they could have put in the mug.  Edit- This is probably the second best thing they could have put in the mug legally. As soon as I got home this guy was filled with red seedless grapes, the absolute best thing to put in a mug, let alone a sweet handmade one.

I resemble that remark!
Sweet friggin' mug!
Congrats.

I was stoked that I got pint glass for finishing the FC enduro Sat. The race director hand me it and says- "if I could have got you bigger one, I would have!" HA!

See you by the camp fire.
