    Jake's professed his win, so I give. I have a crappy recipe that sucks so I'll just flush whatever does not make people puke. My wife & I will be there.

    I don't cook. I am a connoisseur of fine chilis and beers, though.

    Exciting Development! No one will walk away from this event empty handed! That's right. Every single participant and chili judge at the FORC Winter Party will walk away with a prize... Each person will receive their very own Dutch Oven! It will be good for about 24-48 hours use and will be delivered right to your bedroom on Sunday morning! If you were on the fence, get off! This is a can't-miss event!!

    I'd ride down with ya, but I'll have chili and a 2 year old...

    I've found that Main St. if you are coming from Vanderveer Park is a good route. I ride on the sidewalks if traffic is bad, and have no problem with it.

    I know there are quite a few idiot drivers in this town from personal experience. Wear a helmet, lights if needed and obey traffic as much as possible. You always get those idiots that try and wave you through a 4 way stop while they are stopped and before you even get there. I always ride slow and keep my eyes peeled. Side streets and alleys are also a good way to cruise through town. I don't own a road bike, so I have no problem taking the path less traveled.

    If I'm in a hurry, I'll drive.

    Main St is your best option coming from Vanderveer. Low traffic and wide lanes. You wouldn't have any problem riding alone.

    EP and I will be present and will have a chili entry. Whose chili recipe we will use has yet to be determined. We will likely settle this through thumb wrestling like any respectable, loving couple.

    The plans are really coming together. Thanks in advance to all those who will be submitting a chili. The trophy, if you haven't seen it, yet, is absolutely sick! Believe me, you will really WANT to win, so don't shoot yourself in the foot by adding a flipping pig's hoof in your chili. When you see the trophy you are forfeiting by making a nasty chili, you will immediately regret it!

    Also, thanks to the efforts of so many we will have music, swag, merchandise, door prizes, LBS gift certificates and all kinds of great stuff to be had and enjoyed.

    And don't forget this year something new: The 1st Annual Gunchie Awards will be handed out!

    Best Chili of the Year
    Best FORC'n Moment of the Year
    Best FORC'n Inanimate Object of the Year

    Who will win? There's only one person who knows. Watch this thread to see if you or something you represent will receive a nomination.

    BTW, a sh!tload of people are RSVP'd for this party. Who's scared? I'm not scared.

    This is vibrato- my road kill chili got just many votes as most, and Vonda wouldn't even taste it! Hell, I beat Russholes shagnasty chili!
