Track and Stuff


What prompted the poll? So, the track has 4 biffies, which is great, but all 4 have been completely out of the handy dandy hand sanitizer for a couple weeks now. So today, on my way to the track, I decided to stop at a gas station to use their restroom. The attendent pointed me in the right direction and I found the ladies room, which was labelled, interestinly enough, with a bright-orange star-shaped sign that said, "no men allowed." I pondered that for a while. The line is always longer for the ladies room (except sometimes at bike races) so there are women that have been known to use the men's room on occasion. But apparently the opposite - men using the ladies' room - happened at this particular gas station, and offended enough people to prompt them to create a special sign. So I was intrigued. What do you think?

Anyways, I made it to the track with clean hands. There were 8 women racing tonight, from 5 teams I think. To sum it up, we had some fun racing. We had a points race to start with - I really like points races, so that was sweet. Then there was a crash with two people down at the beginning of the MN State Championship Keirin, but fortunately they were OK. They re-started us, and somehow, I managed to win that race and become the state champion at something else. I'll take that. Our last race of the night was a 30 lap scratch race. Gilby kicked some butt on that one, and showed that she'll be representing MN well at track nats.

Thanks for reading and voting.

I hope I can! You do realize that you also qualified for Nationals, don't you? So you should come, too!

i don't see why it matters who is in the bathroom if it is a single bathroom

why does it matter what sex the person was before or after us in the bathroom?!

Secret: I used the "women's bathroom" at Caribou every week before OPUS this year...

Any/all single seat bathrooms with door locks should be unisex.

The world isn't as black and white as you think. For instance, when I'm in drag, I'm never sure which bathroom to use.
