Default 2009 Vision Quest/Counting Coup - March 7th, 2009
Registration for the 2009 Vision Quest and Counting Coup opens on October 1st, less than a month from today.

If history repeats itself, this event will sell out fast, so sign up quickly!

I'm leaning towards VQ this year, but the CC would be so much more "fun". I guess I got a month to decide.

I will be doing the EP & TOC on the same day. That's hard enough.

I'm getting roped into doing my second CC (did it back in 2003, and that was enough for me). Personal message to Main Divide: F-ck you.

Tortilla + Rice + Beans + Salsa + Chicken from El Pollo Loco = Burrito!

Cheese man! Cheese! Carne Asada too. I'm too lazy at the end to make my own.

Perhaps a certain Chinese Taco Truck can make it's debut then.

Finished my first CC last year, so I'm making the bump up to VQ this year. Rumor has it I might need to train this time around.

I'm still in the debating stage. Can't quite decide between CC and VQ. At the current fitness stage I'm leaning more towards CC, but we'll see

Carl, can I put in for a moo shoo pork burrito off the Chinese taco truck? That would be a great!! Is the truck taking pre-orders? Some Orange chicken taco's would be fantastic too!

Contact me(Sherry) at Switchback Cyclery(714) 628-3913 and I will start a list of people interested in volunteering. Just plan on it being a long long day if your interested...but well worth the time and effort to see everyone trying to accomplish the event.
