velogames superclassico 2022 is here! 37 races! omg! the honorary badger trophy and final rainbow jersey awarded to the participant that wins the overall superclasico points competition: Semroc

thankxalot, semroc. anyway, i'll suck it up till october or november. a big thank you to our last host-@slcbob-whom may have lost what few marbles were remaining.
poor slob. can't say i'll be any more coherent or timely or less drooling but i'll try. there should really be a federal tax credit for running this...

first race-strade bianche! the strade bianche entry deadline is at 11:30 cet (5:30am eastern standard time/2:30am pacific standard time in the usa) on saturday, march 5th.
just get your picks in like now.

paris-nice is right after this (separate game) so be ready...

just planning on celebrating the winners and jeering the losers of every race-esp the big ones. too many quick turnarounds throughout the year to crown an overall champion.
everyone will miss a race or three. **edit** or not. got snookered into a deep game of ante up. sigh.

i was so not prepared for this...maybe someone wants to take on a gt or two...?

*edit* will keep/update the ongoing victor's list for all 37 races here in this first post as a handy dandy reference point/bragging rights/eternal reminder of failure and woe...
