Anyone else?
I'm planning to do this and I've heard talk of others joining so I thought I would add it. Anyone else in for sure?
We are in
Melinda and I are doing the team one.
Maybe?
We're still on the fence.
We are a go
Just registered for it. Eric quit slacking and come kit my butt. Or are you afraid I will kit yours? Just have to egg you on a little.
I know I should.
I'll need you to ride about 20yds in front of me again this year. That pacing last year was great even though I don't think that was your goal. Also, make sure you start behind me so that I win as long as I stay on your tail. :) heheh
What the crap
Who put that picture of me on there. I have forgotten about that race. That is pretty good.
hahah :)
Seeing if you'd notice. I added one for Rob too. :)
Nate makes me look good
Thanks, Eric! Nate took the perfect picture. For everyone out there who does not know this picture it looks like a 20 foot drop when it is really only about 4 feet.
Good work!
Nice job to those that actually showed up on Saturday. Jamie and I were oh so close to racing as well... but in the end, sleeping in and yard work prevailed! :) I just scanned over the photos and found these:
Nice shots
And great job to everyone who raced! That wind sure made it interesting.
Mel and I
Melinda and I did it as a team. It was a tough course. The ride out to the turn around we had an awesome tail wind and then coming back it was a horrible head wind. I was averaging around 30 heading out and coming back it was hard keeping it around 22.
Mel did really well on her 2 runs. The 2nd one made the run up pretty hard but she stuck it out and did really good. We were able to win our age category and she was happy with how she did.
Good Job all
Good job to all those that participated, and congratulations to Harris and Melinda! I hope you all a great Mother's Day weekend as well! I like seeing the pictures.
