Welcome to the Tue, 06/30/2009 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?

Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

I like the pad, will there be a bike grease deposit? I need to house 5 bikes as well.

No, no, no you guys have it

No, no, no you guys have it all wrong. Charlie did pool the money from last week’s race and put it into this week’s race, with the exception of the two riders in the break who took the first two spots. Then on Sunday the additional money was added to the usual purse. He then broke it down in the money spots in accordance to whether or not you rode in last weeks race. Therefore people who rode last week got 100 percent of the cash if they top 10’d and those who did not race last week got 50 percent of the cash. Alternatively he also discounted the entry fee for those who raced last week but also gave 50 percent to these people. If you paid an additional ten percent he would also allow you to get 110 percent of the money from both this week and last week. He then took twenty percent as a ‘promoters fee’ since he reduced his fee because he did not give himself a fee for a payout last week, either. But he only took 50 percent of his full fee and not 100 percent. Next race he will pay himself 75 percent of the fee and riders will get 50 percent unless they did both races, in which case they get 100 percent. Or free entry to the final race of the year, which will pool all nine races.

Please stop the anonymous “mentions” of events you are promoting. Its transparent and tiring. Go annoy people on Facebook and Twitter with your incessant carnival barking.

The incessant carnival TDF viewing party will take place on July 12th at the BXL cafe- more details to come soon. anon d-bags should feel free to stay home that sunday night and post on here instead of coming out and having fun

Thanks!

CJ, he’s right – please give it a rest. It’s obvious that guy doesn’t want to know about fun cycling-related stuff going on in the city that others go through the trouble of putting on for the benefit of a few juniors who might be able to make something of themselves with this sport rather than being some angry douchebag forever-Cat 4 with nothing better to do than post about your events. That guy has nothing to give back to the sport, so I think you are barking up the wrong tree. He’s probably going to sit at home in his 200 sq ft shitbox apartment and watch the tour, Mic’ Ultra and 4 almonds in hand while ignoring the idea of actually going to a social event where his hard earned $5 can buy a raffle ticket to win a prize… that $5 going into the budget of the CRCA JR’s to buy bikes, go to nationals, etc., might actually broaden his world view and get him some friends. Seriously, this guy is far too busy to waste time with your soft advertising.

and still think 8:49 was a funny lil towel snap … no harm no foul … you gotta give him points for calling it out.

It’s good we have thick skin and a love to over-promote. It’s also good not to take ourselves too seriously.

0849 gets credit for the win … jed of JC & jed present blah blah shrugs it off and says “well played” … jed, offer 0849 a free beer as a prime if he shows up … let the healing begin.

that was an intense little counseling interval – a good warm-up, since i am going to fbf tonight. WSU/Foundation i am coming your way … get ready to hug it out

Wheelsucker

wait, how did i get here? i started off commenting in toto … but im not in kansas anymore … what kind of black magic is this? what sorcerer can move me from thread to thread at his will?

Wheelsucker

no, it’s not hincapie’s knee, but it sure does spend a lot of time on his third leg. zing!
