June was Cycling Month. First off I rode in the Elephant Rock with John Obering, Matt Sodnicar, and an ex-pro cyclist that kicked my ass (and didnt sweat much). Of all the rides that I do during the summer, E-Rock is one of the more technical (see: climbs)...plus it is the first one of the season, so not quite in shape yet. The third weekend was the MS 150 - this ride is the reason we have a cycling team in the first place. This year we had 25 team members, raised over $22,000 for the National MS Society, sported new bad-ass black jerseys, and totally kicked ass. We couldnt have done it without our friends and family that donated to NMSS, our "support-staff" friends that set up/decorated our tent and provided drinks and massages, and everyone else that supported us along our 150 mile journey through the foothills of Colorado. Inbetween E-Rock and MS150, the ATX Denver Adult Superfraternity put together our first
Charity Golf Event. Knowing us, you probably wouldnt be surprised to find out that we did it a little differently than most golf tourneys... The "hackMasters One Club Golf Tournament of Fury" made participants play with only ONE club of their choice (I played with a 9 iron), and allowed them to buy coupons for various "cheats" (ie: mulligan) and "screws"(make a competing team member play with a left handed club). On the third hole you could buy a hole-in-one for $20 (I got my first ACE that day). The fifth hole? Kegstands for Cash. I think my favorite part was the designated "Heckle Station" at the teebox of the 9th: people just stood in the roped-off area and yelled at you while you took your tee shot. Good times - we raised around $2000 for the NMSS, AND learned some ways to improve the tourney next year.

I demand another entry. I mean, I think something fairly important has happened. And I don't mean the Frogs making the Fiesta Bowl.
