The Dummies return for their 3rd year of racing and fun at Snowshoe..."fresh" off a 13th place finish in last year's race.  We welcome back an original member (Brian) but lose our young pup Robert.  Robert will be touring Italy with the roadies during this event.  Robert - don't forget your binoculars!

This year we have decided to "tune-up" for Snowshoe with another 24 race - in Boyne, MI over Memorial Day weekend - just 4 weeks prior to Snowshoe!  There are questions about the ability to recover - especially for Captain Dummy - who usually needs 11 months recovery time and doesn't start night riding until one week before Snowshoe.  The Captain has promised to be at his optimal riding weight of 225 #'s "sometime" prior to the Boyne event.

It does appear though the Captain will get plenty of support from the youthful Jeff Czar.  Jeff has decided that this is the year to enter triathalons, work with a personal trainer, and eat right.  Maybe he can pull some night-time doubles!  I wonder what year he will decide to get a job and settle down?  By the way Jeff, the stunt you pulled to get out of riding the first lap last year...it will not work this year.  Ask your trainer about preparing for that!

Randy has been with us for all 3 years and entertained us all (last year) with a ride up THE WALL in the practice lap.  Despite shouts of encouragement from his teammates his gallant attempt fell just short.  Though I believe the spot is still "marked" where he stopped so he can attempt to surpass it this year.
 
Fortunately Brian is back after an eventful year riding with Legion of Doom.  Unfortunately Legion teammates Cheech and Chong can not make it.  I will miss them, they made the race fun - before, during, and after.  Brian has moved North and hopefully his frostbite will be cured in time for the event.  I am sure the many hours on his stationery bike will have him ready to ride to the start line - after that who knows.    

See y'all soon!
