Snow Mountain takes a beating...and dishes one out as Highroller, Furious and the infamous Steve-O Gabbard suck thin oxygen while crushing innocent forest sprites beneath their churning wheels of terror! Take that you gnomish slattern!

Hillbilly CSI and Equinox Revelry
Last Friday�s Chalet bonfire started seemingly normal and routine. Get wieners, alcohol, drive up to the Chalet� Many know the drill, few attend regularly. Ah, this evening the wine was going down pleasingly fast and Betty in truth wasn�t drinking anyone�s wine. The beer tasted like an elixir from the gods, and the corn was sizzling! Sun set with purple and pink waves of glory. All was well and then between dinner and smores, there was a scream - Loni found Pat�s confused straw carcass. Luckily on the scene were the Hillbilly CSI team. They discovered a dead straw half man half woman. S/he had a corncob, wore pearls and large panties. They also discovered that Brad had a knack for picking songs that will stick in your head.
�Ding fries are done, ding fries are done, would you like an apple pie with that?� With countless one liners and misspoken jokes, a majestic time was had by all!

Runs on Air
Not really. This is part of the fiendishly ingenious starting system...note the "experimental" label.
The Plane That Wouldn't Start
The mission was to fly. However, the nasty weather and recalcitrant airplane nixed that. We jury-rigged it enought to start, but not to fly.

In the rhythm of the year, Harvest Home marks a time of rest after hard work. The crops are gathered in, and winter is still a month and a half away! Although the nights are getting cooler, the days are still warm, and there is something magical in the sunlight, for it seems silvery and indirect. As we pursue our gentle hobbies of making corn dollies (those tiny vegetation spirits) and wheat weaving, our attention is suddenly arrested by the sound of baying from the skies (the 'Hounds of Annwn' passing?), as lines of geese cut silhouettes across a harvest moon. And we move closer to the hearth, the longer evening hours giving us time to catch up on our reading, munching on popcorn balls and caramel apples and sipping home-brewed mead or ale. What a wonderful time Harvest Home is! And how lucky we are to live in a part of the country where the season's changes are so dramatic and majestic!"

Cyclocross Part 2 UPDATE!
MOA and the Albino Sasquatch took advantage of a fine Saturday afternoon to punish ourselves with a visit to Brecktobercross 05. While not necessarily a UCI legal course, it's challenges include a solid elevation gain and a brisk headwind on the paved section of the course. MOA pulled of a respectable 13th place in the 4s and avoided adding to the scar collection on his shins. All without a respectable warmup due to the standard Sasquatch time deviation of 15-30 minutes. Your narrator won a case of beer in the 3s. A celebratory Paulaner and bratwurst topped off the day as Brecktoberfest had main steet all closed off.
Rallying the troops for the proposed Sunday cyclocross ride proved difficult as several bIKE cLUB members were on reconnaisaince missions to varying points of the map. Cheeso reported in from the Detroit airport en route to Vermont with some sort of new technology called a "cellular phone" while reports of Pete K hanging out with hot Italian chicks have been verified.
Dash, the Crossbowmaker, the Velvet Hammer and the Albino Sasquatch ventured out on cyclocross rigs up Fourmile canyon to the town of Sunset and rode the Switzerland trail to Sugarloaf and a fast descent to a hot lap of Betasso. The only other two bikes seen on this loop were also cross bikes, so the message must have been intercepted by rival cycling groups.
Next weekend beckons with the Snow Mountain Ranch mud pit. However, prior to that, September 22 2005 is the autumnal equinox. Perhaps we should celebrate the change of seasons with a traditional harvest meal. Juanita's? Exactly! Wednesday. Sevenish. Going to have to postpone this. Season premiere of "Lost" is on tonight.
