Cristy's and Roger win the 2012 Ugly Shirt awards!

 Vintage TRC tee shirt for Roger

Christy's just plain ugly tee shirt

Sun shining, flowering trees are glorious, children playing baseball, it must be spring.  We're all so tired of the rain, wind and gloomy skies.  Typically the first rides of spring bring out many riders and Saturday's "Ugly Shirt Ride" had good attendance.  We had a good collection of shirts for our competition.  Roger wore his new Spam jersey, Vicky brought out a vintage Wild Wife tee shirt from 1982, I wore my Charlie Brown jersey.  It was tough to choose the winner. The prizes went to Roger Dumbeck for the guy with an old TRC tee shirt from the 80's and Christy Hagel who had just a plain really ugly shirt that was an easy pick.   The remainder of riders; Tracy, Kelly and her mother Marylou,  and Donna promised to make more of an effort next year.  

 

 Dave shows up for the ride

We all enjoyed seeing Dave Tibbels on his first club ride since his health problems began last year.  He was so glad to be on bike and riding well that he couldn't care less about his normal shirt. Dave said he's been able to commute to work and was trying to see how he managed on a longer ride.

Everyone enjoyed the gorgeous day and lunch at Taco Time gave us all a chance to hear about upcoming Easy Does it Rides.  Our next ride will be the Art Ride in May and maybe the Latah Trail in June.  Donna and I encouraged our group to check out the other TRC rides coming up this summer.  Keep an eye on the calender.  The season has officially started!
