"Space Monkey Mafia" vs. "Space Monkey Mafia ELITE"
We always have a great time competing & riding for fun. Last year we divided into two teams, the Space Monkey Mafia and the Space Monkey Mafia JV. The plan was to have a competition team and a "fun" team. Well, the "fun" team ended up doing very well. That being said, this year I've decided to have everyone step up their game. I've dropped the JV, "fun" team. Don't get me wrong, anyone can still sign up regardless of your fitness level, but I will be expecting to see you sweat and place very well in the overall standings!
This year I've also created an "elite" team which I expect to WIN THE WHOLE DAMN RACE!
Our goal last year was to place first in the YMCA division. Well, there was a miss-communication somewhere and we showed up race morning to find we were not in the YMCA division! After the race organizers were made aware of this mistake we were supposedly moved back into the proper division. Throughout the race our progress was indeed reported with the YMCA teams, however after the race (and after we believed we took first place in the YMCA division), they gave it to another YMCA team and lumped us in with the health club division where we placed 2nd.
This year, to eliminate all confusion, the plan is to build a team that will take first place over all divisions!
