Busy March - Bathtub Mary's/Upcoming Chinaman 100

Since late January we here at the NECS have had a bit more time on our hands then usual and despite the saying "idle hands are the devil's workshop" we have kept ourselves busy. But not as busy as my associates down in St. Louis have, as these shots of a recent resurrection of yet another Bathtub Mary shrine show.Now on a more important note the NECS/MRC will be kicking off the 2012 non race season with the Chinaman 100 the weekend of 3/17. This year the course (which key MRC officers C-Dubbs and Top Chef have been scouting) will be a a warm up for the April Tour of the Battenkill with a run from the Ashokan Reservoir uphill to Hunter ski area and then back.Of course being the Chinaman 100 we have no idea what the total distance will be although it is short of a full 100. You can bet your ass there will be a good amount of climbing on the way there and a lot of fast descents on the way home. Espresso stopswill be mandatory and as with all NECS/MRC sponsored events there is a no drop policy. Stay tuned for more details.

This truly is a glorious development. We shall stand (sit) atop Mt. Kohler, victorious, the next morning.

F*#king A right we will, purging ourselves of the previous night's braquitos and making room for Dos Primos.
