With Tour de Carpex in full swing, you just never know what kind of crowd you’re going to see. So I was pleasantly surprised when the cars kept rolling in and the PAX kept rolling out, including a nice group from Raleigh. Of course this also means the mumble chatter will be on high, but nothing YHC couldn’t take care of with a little beatdown. So after I greeted our FNG (Welcome Fiddler) we were off with a short josey over to the baseball field. [Read More]

One day of legally-styled backblasts is enough.
