Default 2008 VQ and CC registration open
Just wondering whose in 2008? I delayed and missed registration last year and regretted it. I'll be sitting around waiting for registration to open this year for the Coup.

Maybe setup some training rides over the next few months.

Thanks,

Carl

I'm thinking about Counting Coup. I'm probably like 75% commited...not sure what it's going to take to get myself to commit all the way..

What? Ride boring fireroad climbs and spend countless hours on the saddle to the point where I can't walk again does not sound like fun. I had enough of it last winter.

I'll see you there my brotha, CC that is.

The registration for all Warriors Society events open up on Oct 1, 200 spots for VQ and only 100 for the CC. I highly recommend that those interested register as soon as possible so that you have your spot. BTW, I'll be doing the VQ.

We will be signing up for Vision Quest. I just hope I can be twice as fast as last year, somehow.



I'll be signing up on day 1. I don't think it'll last a month.

Ideally, VQ is my goal. CC is my back-up plan.

Haha, I know this is going to hurt for me doing my first coup. That's why I'm thinking of doing it geared instead of singlespeed. Though, walking the singlespeed up to Santiago peak would give my azz a nice break.
