Gringo de Mayo

I'm amazed that Cinco de Mayo has not yet hit the pages of Stuff White People Like since it seems like it is just a bunch of Gringos sitting around drinking Coronas and celebrating something they know nothing about.

A few of us gathered around the fire pit in the backyard to drink some cervezas and enjoy traditional specialties like the Mexican Hamburger. I am pretty sure this tasty treat has zero authenticity but it should because it is genius. You grill a hamburger the way you normally would, put it on a warmed tortilla, cover the burger with refried beans and cheese, then wrap the package shut so you can flip it over and get the cheese to melt inside. As soon as you take it off the grill, you smother it in green chili, lettuce and tomato and enjoy. The topping opportunities are pretty limitless, if you can dream it, you can probably eat it.

It looks like spring has sprung in Denver. The Lilacs are in full bloom and the weather has gone from random to predictably random. Translation, expect to get caught in an afternoon thunderstorm when you least expect it and yes, it might snow still.

This week is a bit on the light side when it comes to racing. There is the Sunshine Hillclimb on Saturday which will equate to just under 50 minutes of racing. The rest of the weekend is open for riding wherever for the fun of it. I'll probably get in a nice cruiser of a ride after the race Saturday and then go torture myself with Joey Brenner on Sunday.
