Im looking for a four letter word....
Where to begin...
O how about the warm up. We are coasting down that fun little hill with the huge holes and ruts and what not. We are near the bottom so i let off the brakes not seeing this little dip in the road. Right over the handle bars i go at a bout 20mph. Luckily it was me and some how i managed to get out of the pedals rolled a bit and watched my seat fly off as the bike tumbled the rest of the way down end over end. Just great.
I tore a nice hole in the ass of my shorts about 5 inches and picked up some nice cuts to go along with it. I must have hit my heal pretty good bc that was bothering me. But i managed to shake that off and luckily was able to attach my seat back on the post.
At the start i felt fine, no pain. Well that was until i got near the end of the first lap and some asshole tried to pass me on my left except he had no where to pass and there was a sharp left turn and some muddy rocks. My handlebars got tangled up with his we both went down. I was unable to get my foot out of the clips which tweaked it even more and then when i did get out i rolled on top of his bike and got the foot stuck in his cranks. Nice. he went rolling into the bushes. The ass didnt even apologize. I wanted to kick him in the face. Almost did but thought better of it. I got up thinking i may be able to pedal at least but that wasnt happening. Every time i pulled up on the crank it hurt. I thought to suck it up but then i tried to walk and that hurt even more.
so today was not so much fun. The loop was a pretty sick. Honestly it was a bit unfair. How the hell were you supposed to clean those rock face climbs?!? I did a lot of walking for the first part of the lap. I was feeling good to. I was picking off a few guys and making my way up to the middle front of th lead group. O well. I guess it happens to everyone. Just glad i wasnt hurt THAT bad.
Heres the bit that i did.

I have not seen anything like that ever. I really was looking forward to hitting them without 12,000 ppl walking them. Next time. The ride up was not terrible so i would not mind riding up there sometime.
I really was so mad that all i could think to do was assess the damage and get back on the bike to see how i felt. I should have pushed him back in the thorn bush.
did u SS it? my scrambler blwe up doday so i drank some brewsdogs.

drunk jake is even more entertaining than drunk fred -
unless you happen to be Sean, then drunk fred is plenty entertaining...
hey AON, hope you feel ok tomorrow. You looked a bit dirty when you went by, and then I noticed the rip in the shorts. Wow, sounds like a tough race. I prefer gears over SS at that race because of those steep hills.
I ended up having a great time racing with gears!! Our National Champion, Georgia Gould showed up to race. Not that I was anywhere near her, just cool to be out there with the best. My Titus racer-x was awesome on the course. Fighting off calf cramps on the last lap I stilll came in with a smile. My best race this year. Now I need to go get more water to drink!!

Today was a mess. When you saw me i was hurting pretty good. I raced the SS which really was fine. Those climbs were wild. I would have liked to hit them again. Really i would have liked to roll down them. That would have been more fun.
Great to hear you had a blast! Drink Drink Drink!!! I will be too. But it just wont be water.
