PING PONG

Kevin

2011-05-26

I think I may still have some old carbon fiber ping pong paddles laying around.
Haven't used them in years so it may be time to put them on Craigslist. In
fairness to my OBRA brothers and sisters I'll offer them here first.

Old school carbon, not dimpled
never crashed
just a few scuff marks from normal wear and tear
never been in the mud of `cross
full length handles, not cut
older, but plenty of life left

offer void if I can't find them in the pile of rubble that is the back corner
room of the basement.

Depending on the timing of such an event, we have a table and would consider being involved...

Might I also suggest a co-workers favorite - KICKBOUNCE!

I recall an unofficial planning session long ago for a Gentle Lovers stage
race that involved a ping pong stage amongst other hijinks like a
weighted-trailer hillclimb. Still sounds like fun.

Sounds pretty viable, with the crits being cancelled and all

Ping Pong originated with the elite in the late 1800's. Coined as Table
Tennis now seems to be closet fun for the spandex clad. I would like to open
discussions on an OBRA challenge to those that think they have game. Mano y
mano or teams against teams. What do you guys think?
