Fierce Monkey Butt
I raced Vet A, so I musta been right next to your buddy on the line. I had some "challenges" but ended up 4th in Vet A and about 8th to 10th overall. On the first lap, I missed the turn for the checkpoint (DOH!), turned around, and lost two positions. Got back into second in Vet A, but lost 2 positions when I stopped for gas. Maybe those big tanks are cool after all.
The worst part of my ride was when the mouthpiece on my Camelback popped off at the 45-minute mark. About a liter of Fierce Melon Gatorade went shooting through the vents in my pants and all over the seat of my bike. With air temps in the 40s, it was eye opening to say the least.
Maybe I'll see you at Thunder Valley this Sunday. You were railing the last time I saw you there, especially on the big downhill sweeper :aj: .
