Euros Guide to Ky(a work in progress)

Having just finished watching the World Championships @ the Mtn Bike Depot(thx to aaron and mary for an awesome time), I felt compelled to help out. Hey, Im a resource right?

Doug and I debated if in a few yrs European cross fans would be gathered as we were but eating Fried Chicken and drinking PBR in homage to the americans. Would they struggle to understand the commentator speaking in rapid fire english(and if a certain commentator is used there'll be acertain accent to translate-we love ya Rach) and make guesses as to what the hell was going on?

Well for those that brave the wilds of Louisville for the World Champ's, here's a small guidebook to help you thru. We're glad you've made the trip, and I hope this helps.

The Euros Guide To Ky


If you get directions from a local, make sure that the landmark its based on still exists. If you are told to make a left at either Burger Queen or York Steakhouse, just ask someone else.

We abbreviate everything for no good reason. J-town, E-town, J-ville...etc.

No, we don't really think its an "international" airport either. Hope your drive from Cincy went well.

You're in Louisville, it really isn't accepted as part of Ky by people outside the city(or inside for that matter)

If you are trying to fit in by engaging in the local parlance, please remember
A its pronounced Loo Uh Vull. Disregard the spelling(we let you get away w Sade, give us this one or we'll get into the whole Versailles thing)
B Y'all is never used in the singular
C Fixin to means.....never mind. At that point ask someone else, it'll just get too involved.
D whether its a Pepsi, Coke, Mtn Dew or Sprite its still a coke.

its either Cards or Cats and you just have to pick one so they'll leave you alone.

There's spaghetti in the chilli, deal with it.

Start conversations by announcing that you didn't go to High School here. It will save you a lot of time. Just trust me.


In case of snow, please remember
A. 2" of snow is a natural disaster here
B. everyone will rush out to buy bread and milk even tho those are the first 2 things to go bad.
C. just because you can drive in the snow doesn't mean that we can. Plan accordingly.

Oh, and the best place for some warm up laps? There's a dog park just down the road that would be perfect. Txt me and I'll show you a route.

Thanks for coming to "the ville" (oh google it, I can't do it all for you).
