12 Hours of Sac

Read on if you DARE

CMac, UBALLez, & my humble self did the 12hrs as a relay sat. I'll make a long story short outside of 5 flats by Cale; One flat, a couple of crashes, & a nasty ass cut by UBALLez; Three crashes by me (yes I'm out of practice); & one mystery lap we won pretty easily. After regularly turning in 23-24 min laps apiece & 27-28 min laps in the dark we beat the next closest 3 man team by 5 laps, the next closest coed team by 1 lap. So a pretty good day by the boys.

A big applause must be given to Junior Chris King for riding Solo on FULL ridged!!! He finished middle of the pack but he did take a 2 hr dirt nap on the side of the trail while every one but his mom worried about him. Turns out this is normal behavior for him & she is very used to it. Give him a few years & a suspension fork & he'll be a contender for the overall solo.

Thanks to Sara UBALLez for spending the WHOLE day putting up with us. Also to SuperG & Emory for stopping by 2x. Although Farasy looses points for helping drink all the beer BEFORE we finished! Aquaman for spending a good portion of the day tempting us with those cold beers (I will seek my revenge!) My sweetie for bringing me dry riding shorts(A crotch saver). The Greeker for a nice dose of harassment about only winning by 5 laps. I guess when you ride lead out for a national champ your head swells. Sweitzer for stopping by to watch the football game(yes we had a TV). ICC for loaning UBALLez the piece of the sun which helped out during the anger laps.

Now for the pics:

Cale off to another potential flat(sorry Cale I couldn't resist)

UBALLez now knows why mtber's wear full finger gloves.

Some spill over from the thumb

No wonder he was having trouble shifting & braking.

Yes its been almost 10 years since I rode singletrack @ race speed.
