Peace, Love & ChiliThink you make a mean pot of Chili?Enter the 2018 CBC Chili Cook-Off

The Chattanooga Bicycle Club will Kick-Off the Season on March 31, 2018in Soddy Daisy at the Community Center (check the CBC Calendar for the

details)

3/7/18, 11:37 AMThe Tailwind 030718


As part of the festivities the Club will host a Chili Cook-Off! (Really just asneaky, thinly disguised ploy to have members donate enough chili to feed the masses)

However… All contestants will receive a one-of-a-kind Official CBC ChiliCook-Off Tee Shirt (CBC logo will probably change to the old CBC logo if the appropriate

art work becomes available)

Also, the Winner will receive a $25 gift card to a LBS (Local Bike Shop).WOOHOO! The Winner will be determined by a crack judging team

randomly selected from the CBC masses.

Chili Cook-Off Rules…

1. Each participant must furnish a crockpot full of Chili2. Crockpot must be filled with a minimum of 4 QUARTS homemade,

mouthwatering Chili. Any style of Chili, any ingredient will beallowed. (Even pasta! Oh…the horror!)

3. Contestants limited to the first 8 CBC members that volunteer4. If (for some unfathomable reason) 8 members do not volunteer, Executive

Board Members and/or their families will be allowed (strongly encouraged,brow-beaten even) to compete.

3/7/18, 11:37 AMThe Tailwind 030718


5. There ain’t no more rules.

So, if you’re interested, you better volunteer PDQ (Pretty Darn Quick). Send anemail, with your Tee Shirt size, to… The Social Committee Minion.

A really nice ride.

3/7/18, 11:37 AMThe Tailwind 030718


After two rain postponements, Monday looked good for the Chief LadigaBirthday Ride. Seven of us showed up. Just as we got to the trailhead, wesaw a few rain drops on the windshield. After a 2-hour drive we decided itwould clear up and headed out.

3/7/18, 11:37 AMThe Tailwind 030718


It took Beverly Short and Daisy Blanton a little longer to get set up so sinceit was raining a little, Joe Nivert, Vicki Cox and John Vass took off. MikeHartline, ride leader, waited on us. About 5 miles out of Piedmont (our firststop) we saw the others coming back. They said the visitor's center mantold them a big rain was heading this way so they were heading back. Wewent on to Piedmont and got the same message. After much debate (andmaking a cat happy with pretzels), we decided to head back too. It justwasn't with the rain gods for Beverly to get her birthday ride. Vicki Cox
