Around SBN: VIDEO: Austin Rivers' Buzzer Beater Finishes Off UNC

Trivia Monday starts on November 3rd.

The Cycling Revealed Trivia Contest will kick off on the first Monday in November.

For those who haven't joined in on the fun before, here's how it works:  At the beginning of each week from Nov. 3 -March 30,  Cycling Revealed posts a five question quiz.   Usually the "test" is of the multiple choice variety, but sometimes you will have to fill in the blank (spelling does matter, so you better brush up on your Italian riders, and all those who need to buy a vowel).  You will have 3 minutes to complete each quiz, so there will be no time to Google an anwer.  Each quiz is worth 15 points, and the leader board is periodically updated, usually at least once a month. 

The link can be found here, which you should bookmark, as you won't be able to register until the first quiz is posted.  There are some sample trivia quizzes available right now, and I would suggest taking these, especially if you haven't done this before.    

When you do register, make sure that next to your online name you place "(PdC)," that way we will know who here deserves bragging rights as King or Queen of Monday Trivia.

Elvisgoat took the PdC honors last year, but just barely, as Tifosa finished only four points in arrears.  Yours truly would have finished in third place, had I registered under the PdC banner, which I will certainly do this year. 

I'll probably send out another reminder once the first contest is posted.

Good luck!

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention - you don't have to take the quiz on Monday, but you do need to get it done sometime during the week before the next one is posted.

Hmm, I didn't do very well at the TdF hard quiz.

I might just get a drubbing in this. Don’t laugh.

woohoo!

One more way to publicly disgrace myself. Though, I do think I learned a thing or two this season. As long as I unlearned less than I learned, well, the floor’s the limit!

I always do lousy at these quizzes

yet, strangely, I continue to play and not only play, but allow my embarrassing score to be announced to the world.

Rarely.

There may have been one or two true/false questions last year. Lots of pictures from old races where you have to indentify two or three riders. It’s tough, especially when spelling counts.

It's the obscure old knowledge that gets me, everytime.

sigh, too bad we don’t actually know something about cycling. that would make this thingy so much easier…

Ouch!

I only got 20% right on the hard sample.

Maybe this contest is NOT my calling??? LOL!
