Count Down to December

I was chatting with Ranger Dave last night. We discussed various subjects.

• The fact that he is going to Interbike. 
• The fact that he is going to Cross Vegas. 
• The fact that he is driving the lovely Ranger Katie to her new gig in Northern California. 
• The fact that he and Ranger Katie are going to Norway next winter to race in the original Birkebeiner cross country ski race. 

I was green with adventure-envy. 

At one point, as it so often does, the topic of Ragby came up. The Ranger said to me, "the worst part of not being on ragbrai was not the fact that I didn't get to go on Ragbrai. It is that I won't be able to read about ragbrai until January."

Oh yeah. 

My ridiculous, over-the-top holiday Ragbrai recap blog mania is an institution. 

In fact, at one point on Ragby, Steven rode up to me, giggling and said something to the effect of, "sometimes, I think about how funny all of this is going to be in your blog this winter."

Yes, folks, we have reached maximum-meta here at Half the Rice. We are thinking about the blogging about said event in the midst of said event. 

So to alleviate the restlessness you are all feeling, or perhaps to enhance it, here's a countdown clock.
