tHD Annual Meeting and Jersey Design Conference 2010

Much like any serious Mountain Bike racing team, Team Hot Dog held it's annual 2010 meeting to reflect on the ups and downs of this season and also to focus our attention on planning for the upcoming 2011 season. On the agenda was the following:

Drink Beer
Eat A Ton of Marco's Pizza

Drink More Beer

Reminder that Barry Roubaix Sign-Up is coming up in a few weeks

Get the Crayons Out and design a jersey for 2011

Drink More Beer

Talk about our upcoming trip to Pisgah, NC

JRAD's Derailleur Adjusting Clinic (Basement)
The Sampling of the Hammer Endurolyte Fizz and Perpetuem Solids

tHD Jersey Brainstorming Session

The good news is that we actually came up with a few excellent ideas (see photos below) of which we will be having our graphic artist tweak and we'll post for final comment. The bad news is that Perpetuem Solids are the absolute worst product we have ever tasted. I'm not entirely sure how Hammer Nutrition developed this un-edible death pill and how they expect us to consume these on a long ride without needing to be rushed to the nearest emergency room.

With all of the liquid confidence in the air, at some point, I agreed to race in the final Tailwind Cyclocross race of the season. Despite the fact that I`m now regretting even considering lining up in the C Class tomorrow, I'm still going to follow through with my promise and fly the tHD colors to victory (or total failure!)....

As the evening drew to a close, a fight broke out between Hot Dog and Tim. I think there were a few bad words being said about Mo-dex and Tim delivered the final knock-out punch to put a cap on tHD's 2010 annual meeting, Roadhouse Style.

Stay tuned for jersey updates and all sorts of Shenanigans! (wheee little shenanigans...)
