Pansyman is back and after completing 2020, he's depressed. As you know, misery loves company, so he is inviting you to come suffer on January 9th, 2021.
WHAT IS PANSYMAN?
Not a race, No Money, No Prizes, No Timing Devices, No Support, No Glory...
Just a Gathering of like minded individuals who do not want to go the mall. But plenty of thighburn to go around.

The mileage/elevation may be a little off, if that concerns you in the least
you should probably stay home and do a "Jingle Jog."

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN PANSYMAN?
Anyone with a sense of Adventure and is low maintenance...
Perhaps it would be better to define who should NOT participate in Pansyman

Tough MudderYou have raced in a tough mudder. And you wear the shirt from the event as a badge of honor.

Pure CyclistYou identify as a man, you shave your legs, YET you don't admit it is for aesthetics... come on, own that shit!
|
Tribal TatooYou have a tribal tatoo, but you are not part of a tribe. Same goes for tatoo "bands" that do NOT go around your whole arm.
***If you have either of these, and some more ink please submit pics of other ink for consideration to be a pansy, (we all make mistakes right?) |

Spot On You Pansy, you get a cookie!
HOW MUCH DOES PANSYMAN COST?
Most of a Saturday during the holiday season. Which could be a huge expense for you, or perhaps no big deal. All depends on your Karma I suppose.
In other words,
"Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."
So you'll have that going for you. Which is nice!
