Give to BSU Cycling or I'll be Smarter than Usual

Over the past 3 weekends, I've become a bit of a crowd favorite in the local cyclocross scene.  In the first weekend of the Waffle Cross Series, it rained a lot.  This made for a muddy Sunday race, which made me really bad at staying upright.  After about a half a lap, I realized that people were just going to go faster than me.  I decided to work on my skills and try to ride everything as quickly as I could until I fell over.  There was an off camber corner right behind the announcer's table and registration tent that I fell over nearly every lap (nailed it the last time though).  After entertaining all the nearby spectators for the entire race, the promoters named the corner after me.  Here's the end result:

The next weekend was much sunnier, but that still didn't stop me from entertaining.  Here's my recipe for ridiculousness:

• Gold Shorts

• High Speed Barricades

End Result:

You're welcome.

I'm still waiting for some good photos (I'll post them as they come in) from this weekend but since it was Halloween, I stepped the costume up a notch.

You get the idea

Also, I fell in the creek crossing.

The whole reason I'm telling these stories is this: I'm tired of doing it for free.  So here's the deal:

If you (the general public) donates $500 or more to BSU Cycling in the month of November, I'll do Kringle Kross on December 18th (last year's high was 41 degrees) in nothing but the gold shorts.  Since I am Brian Parker, there's a pretty good chance of me doing something stupid.  Not a fan of the gold shorts?  The highest bidder picks the costume!  Speedo?  Sure!  Borat man-thong?  Of course!  Bikini?  Definitely!  Gorilla suit?  You bet!  My only requirement is that it doesn't lead to me being thrown in jail.  Beyond that, get creative and support Boise State Cycling!

I'm trying to simplify this process, but Club Sports doesn't really like it when I modernize systems.  In the meantime, do the following to donate:

• Make check payable to "BSU Foundation"
• Enclose check with a note indicating that the check is a gift to Boise State Cycling Club
• Mail the note to the following address:

Boise State University Foundation

1910 University Drive

Boise, Idaho 83725-1030

• It is important to use the 9-digit zip code
• Foundation will automatically mail back a receipt indicating that the contribution is tax-deductible
• Send me an email to brianparker@u.boisestate.edu with some sort of proof of the amount you donated and your costume idea.  I'll let you know if you've been outbid and tell you to step your game up!  The highest total donor (not individual donation) will be the winner, so you can bid your way to the top.

Help us race bikes and help me make a fool of myself!
