I went down to do the first MBS race, got there after 9 and watched the citizens race, then I went out to pre-ride the course which I figured I could do before the rain hit. But hell no, half way around the bike patrol stopped me and said the "course was closed!" because , well, it was going to rain. I mean, WTF? why can't you ride the course before the race starts? Particularly when the race wasn't going to start for another 2 hours! A while later it did indeed rain pretty hard and I left without racing in the mud.

Mattress Burning

Mattress Burning is a fun event that happens every spring around here. Sort of a local version of Burning Man. Usually the event begins at night, say 2 or 3 in the morning. Everybody gathers around the fire, and the police come with their flashing lights, and they hang around talking. Everybody has a great time!! I mean, it unites the community and is sort of a farewell party as people are leaving to go back to the lake or where ever they came from. An added feature is abandoned couches.
