A holiday reunion.

It started not too long ago, when we were cleaning up Ice Weasels. I spotted an Eggbeater cage sitting on the registration table. It was well after dark, and everyone had gone home. "Gee, that would look good in my pile of Eggbeater parts" I thought. Yoink, into my pocket it went.

Fast-forward a day or two later when, like any obsessive promoter, I was googling "ice weasels" and reading every single comment on the internet. I came across this race report, and this photo:

I couldn't help myself. As I was sitting there looking at the pedal cage, and the rebuild kit, I just couldn't control my urges.

Ice Weasels, the race that just keeps on giving. We'll file this one under "not always a douche."
