“The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.” – Henry Longfellow I ran into Lex at Colectivo a few weeks ago, and he gently reminded me that this wrap-up has been sitting in my to-do box for way too long. He’s right, but I needed time to think through myContinue reading “2022 Windy 500 wrap up”

Windy 500 2017 wrap-up
Yeah, that just happened. The Windy 500 just became the most spectacular thing ever. And you weren’t there. It was Sofa King awesome, that it may never eclipse itself. Like Leo Sayer singing with Barry Gibb AND Justin Timberlake. Or donut wrapped hot dogs. It was that good. We may as well all put onContinue reading “Windy 500 2017 wrap-up”
The Windy 500 hits the big time
We’re proud to introduce our first 2015 in-kind sponsor: Pabst Blue Ribbon! I was pretty stoked when this Windy 500 care package arrived today!

2014 Windy 500 is in the books
What turned out to the be the best Windy 500 ever fell short in only one category: mileage. This year’s route left us 4 miles short: 496 miles with an 18mph average speed. In all the years past we were always over, so at this point I’m using my rollover miles to call it anContinue reading “2014 Windy 500 is in the books”
Windy 500 v4.0: It’s the Final Countdown
We are nowhere near as cool or sexy as these long-maned Swedish man-whores, but we’re not opposed to letting a Glam Metal staple like Europe explain the Windy 500 v4.0: “We’re leaving together, But still it’s farewell And maybe we’ll come back, To earth, who can tell?” I don’t even know if they speaks the EnglishContinue reading “Windy 500 v4.0: It’s the Final Countdown”
