You heard correctly Devo, when you miss the rider meeting, important information about the finish chute is lost. I went right through the pits, took my helmet off and had a chat with a few other racers. One guy noticed that I still had my check tag on my hangers, DOH! Sunday was even better. On the second lap my Tech Tube desintegrated and my front tire came off, while riding, of course. The resulting endo and trailside repair took me half an hour. Somewhat difficult to repair a tire covered in mud with two jammed thumbs. I looked around for some grass to stuff in the tire but all I could find were small crunchy leaves and mud. I finally got the bead back on and zip-tied the hell out of the tire just so I could get back to the pits 6 miles away. I left early in utter disgust. Looks like the Timber Mountain curse has fallen on me this year, eh Devo?
