[QUOTE="INCA, post: 1225880, member: 45997"] Here is part of my side. The support I receive from threads like this are what keeps me going. Thanks to "I'll get my hell mit" Dewayne for starting it. Now for a correction. I was third as far as I know, way behind John and Jim. So far behind I was low point finisher. Had six minutes to spare at the end. Al had a trophy for a Womens class and Tracie wasn't there, so that is the one he had Brian present to me. I was at a total loss as to what was going on. As for the rock in the last section. When I clipped it and coolant ran out, it was a blow of sorts. My first thoughts were, here I am close to finishing for a change and the day is done. At the top of the hill I saw it was just the lower hose pulled loose. Pushed it back on, tightened the clamp at a loss of five minutes for the encounter. The only 'damage' was a dent in the radiator tube where it hit the engine. A stroke of luck all the way around. Denny - I had no idea it was you that checked on me. Thanks. About half a mile from the end there was no slowing down on a left turn, hit into a tree on the right and wound up on the ground to the left against another tree. Found out there was no rear brake as the cause. Good thing the pads waited that long to quit. I had it scheduled to change them after the enduro. No complaints on my part as they have given 250 hours and 3969 miles of service. As long as Mike brought up my getting to the restart, I'll add some more. For the riders that blocked the trail after the section check-out on the way to the restart, thanks for being self centered, showing lack of consideration and brains. Should that happen again, I will not be in the running for Mr. Nice Guy. To end this epistle, I'd like to ask a small favor. Jeff Fredette has been called Iron Man for many years now due to his Six Days rides. I've known Jeff for around 30 years and we have the same thoughts about riding and I don't want to dilute his Iron Man status in any way. After spending 28 years hauling steel, to me steel would be closer than iron. Young Ted [/QUOTE]
