Wow, it's been a pretty packed couple of days. It was definitely nice to be able to sleep in today and catch a big greasy breakfast with Jen. Saturday was the Stuporbowl which was just beyond words fun. Magyar fought through a fever and we drove up early to get the manifest early and start planning. The race was just insane, I feel sorry for anyone in a car in downtown Minneapolis during the 3 hours of the race because they were surrounded by a couple hundred of the rowdiest,lawless cyclists you will ever see. 
I didn't get many photos because we were busy cranking the whole race to really worry about photos. We eneded up riding the whole thing with a Chicago guy who was awesome and it was nice to roll with another out of towner. We got through two of the three manifests, but by the time we got back to Trash Bags for the third manifest we only had 45 minutes left and agreed to call it quits and go get some much earned food. Again, words can not describe this race, if you missed it this year, go next year, it's insane. However, if you are at all afraid of riding through traffic don't bother. 
Sunday was back to work then the Superbowl, which was awesome. Monday more work and curling, and finally a day off today. 
That pretty much brings things up to speed. While surfing the web today I found this Osiris ad that Eau Claire's own Arik Elstran is in. Osiris Shoes - Arik Elstran @ 3rd Lair Skatepark from Osiris BMX on Vimeo.
And finally TNR in a few days and Goldsprints in Menomonie on Friday at the Acoustic Cafe, I think a few of us in EC are going to try to make it out so you should try too.
