I did indeed.

Took people a while.

Edit: also SUPing is harder than it looks. Certainly harder than, say, installing powertap pedals

i really love you folks. so much so that i think you deserve to be on a first rate top quality direct drive trainer (the same one i'm on when i'm on our slowtwitch zwift rides). and, you need a top quality wetsuit, a top quality power meter.

but... i... need... y'all's... help!

Hmm. Sneaky. We won't be so slow on the uptake next time....I'm guessing.

well, maybe, maybe not. because, next time, i'm going to look at the time stamps. if you did what you feel you need to do, but only after the thread goes up...

I didn't know what was going on with that thread at first, but that is exciting! I do really need trainer - I am using an old magnetic from early 2000s. . . Signed up for the circ drive a couple days ago and will be on the look out with fingers crossed!!

So is it a raffle or a race? The entry on the right side of the screen says raffle . . .

Attacking this day with enthusiasm unknown to mankind.

half of the prize list is a straight raffle. the other half, i'm going to make sure those who get certain prizes really need those prizes (like the fellow who just got his stand up paddleboard).

those who don't approve of this approach can report me to safesport. or usat ;-)

Subscribed early and often.

I've been pricing out hitch racks to replace a 16 year-old Saris that has served me well...

I'm strongly considering a direct drive trainer for next winter. I signed up for the circ drive. Fingers crossed.

How will I get work done now, since I will be diligently on the thread. What is the recommended refresh rate? 10s, 30s?
Cut my teeth on tri last year now piecing together all the nicer things. I don't think the wife has caught onto chasing the dragon yet

I need a top quality wetsuit. See my earlier post about my approaching end of life.

If you are looking for a nice northern Canadian to send those power meter pedals to, I'm here.

well...

You know how poor I am (or at least cheap :-) actually, poor by ST standards). I already got (from you) a wetsuit, which works great, BTW... - - - - I even got a fit from you for a bike I can't (yet) afford.

my ancient Polar "wind" power died a coupla years ago (hint, I NEED pedal power)

I even told you about a docu-movie you gotta see.

What's a guy gotta do??? beg?

OK. I'm begging

I saw this on a white board in a window box at my daughters middle school...

Following the boards closely as there are lots of amazing raffle and chosen prizes. Thanks Slowtwitch.

I'm already on the circulation list from a previous year but have entered my email again, just in case. Was this necessary?

Lots of stuff on there I'd love but don't need. I'm sure dumb trainers and training without power is still a good way to improve for a MOPer like myself. Id have to learn how to change pedals...
Maybe one day when I haven't got the baby on the way I'll upgrade to some fancier equipment. Plenty of more deserving people out there.

I've signed up for the circ newsletter at least 4x (likely more) since I've been a member. Do any of those count or do we have to re-sign up for this, and the subsequent, batch of carrots?

I like the approach of giving to those who are in need.

My wife, kids, and I have a life that is abundant. If we end up winning an item that is being raffled feel free to give the item to someone you believe is in need.
