And so it goes.
Well, I woke up to a beautiful sunny Colorado day, went to breakfast, and got my shit together to... yeah, you guessed it... head to the races. This race was at some private school, east of town, and thusly named Schoolyard Cross.
When I got out to the race, the pro men were racing, and the first dude I saw was COMPLETELY covered in mud. I was utterly dumbfounded. We hadn't got ANY weather since that 24" snow storm a week and a half before. Well, turns out they took a low spot on the course, and made a mud pit. And it just so happened the first guy I saw racing had wrecked in said mud pit. Pretty funny.
I paid my money, and got on the bike to do some recon on the mud pit. It wasn't too bad, more or less just a straight shot, but they kept putting more water on it between laps, so the conditions were unpredictable at best. The rest of the course was fun, fast, and twisty... just how I like it.
After a faster/sketchier than I'd like start (hopefully that's me just being a little gun shy from the wreck from last week, and not my age), we made it to the mud pit, when the dude in front of me decided to get into the fencing a little, and stop in the pit. Needless to say, I slid into him pretty hard. I stayed up, he didn't, proof below:

And really got pretty diiiiirrrrrtttttyyyy.
Coincidence... I don't think so!
Don't ya think?
Next, the plan was to hurry home, shower, and head out to the birthday dinner. Upon returning to mi casa, I discovered my awesome roommate had bought and hid 30 Mountain Dews. It was like Easter, but eleventy billion times better!
A big group of us went out for some eats and libations.
During which I was gifted this:
In case you can't read, its a Candy Corn Soda.It tastes EXACTLY like Candy Corn Soda.
More drinks followed, which may or may not have been concocted using said Candy Corn Soda (thanks goes out to the accommodating bartenders). I think I had a Candy Corn Soda and Rum, a Candy Corn Soda shot, and a Candy Corn Soda and Vanilla Vodka. Good times were had!
Oh, and I almost forgot, I also was made aware of the fact that one of my friends whom I've rode with throughout the summer, played Vicki, the robot, on Small Wonder. No joke!
