More cowbell!

Welcome, welcome. We'll be your officiating crew this evening...Let's get this party started! The dreaded Obstacular will be the first stage of the 2006 Partyapalooza...and hopes of high GC placing were crushed left and right, mostly left though.

Dave shows how to Walk the Plank as he rolls out on the Obstacular! What mysteries and challenges await those who dare...?

Bryan throws down Bottle Slalom

Steph dabs in the constricting embrace of the Crusty Blowhole!

Steph negotiates twixt Scylla and Charybdis

Jen swings under the NeckCracker

Sean easily up the Ramp of Regrets (notice still intact boardwalk light at this point) and onto the finishing straight!

Dub drops into the Bent Finale!

Maura, still out there on the course somewhere...

Nice ride for the birthday boy. Dead eye Sean also got 10 out of 10 in the bb gun contest!!!!

Yes tequila is good for you! 

Gentlemen and Ladies, prepare for the Relay-O-Death! Sue, Dub and Matty A stumbled away champions but not after some hard fought battles vs. Team Hammock, the B-Day Bombers and Neighbors and Sisters and Bears, Oh My! Nice racing all!

Finals of the relay races...and they're off!

First dismount and Loni is well into the spins, but...

Dub first back onto the bike!

Loni strong thru the spins

Sue takes a lead on leg 2!

Highroller pulls close...

Highroller and Silent But Deadly Sue neck and neck in the spin cycle. Notice gun safetly tucked away down the pants!

If one photo could summarize the entire Partyapalooza...

Gangway!

Cheese-O barefoots it across the line for 2nd place!

Matty A looks for a place to set 'er down gently

The Zoloritas have spoken.

She's on top of the world...Hippo birdy to Chainsaw, the bestest wife and friend in the world! She makes a pretty mean apple pie too...

It all started like this...

and this

and this.

Before it unravelled into hours and hours of this. Help me Obi Wan!

Wanna ride 400 miles in 6 hours? We'll gather up 7 good friends and sick 'em on the Silver Rush! Matty A pulled in the hot lap in 40th place (5:25) while Chainsaw got 3rd in chicas and all more than earned the shiny baubles and adoration of the assembled throngs! Nice effort everyone!

Take THAT Leadville! The Ladies crush it in their marathon debut.

Leadville 50 mutha-trucker! Bring. It. On. Dub, Chainsaw, Dash, Bash, the Crossbowmaker and Highroller will join Big Scott Gurst in an all out assualt on common decency and human kindness. Oh wait. That's the Partyapalooza later on this summer... We will be assaulting the thin air and steep climbs of Leadville though so pray for us, pray for them, pray for everybody!

We came (well, I did), we saw, we conquered! CB provides a stunning setting for some excellent marg-swilling, parade waving, glow-in-the-dark disc whipping, taco devouring, poker, dancing and some riding too...Chainsaw, Dub the Crossbowmaker and Highroller grimace the painful grimace of Snodgrass at 8am...why I could/should be sleeping!

Helloooo ladies!

Wish you were there, highpoint of 401, day one of the CB excursion-extraordinaire...

401 sucks big skunk cabbage!

Chainsaw on the 401 descent. I could build that!

Nice work Bash! Now turn around and do it again, its starting to thunder. 

What's the story with my blood on my bike!?!? 

Miki describes Jen at poker night "With her bold playing style - our fellow girl's night poker gal Jenn - wasn't afraid to raise the stakes, bluff the boys, and go all in if necessary to build her chip empire. " 

May the Schwartz be with you!
