Please tell me everyone remembers that annoying little radio jingle...
Anywho... just a quick race report preceded by today's PSA: If anyone in the freak crew had some money burning a hole in their pocket, check it. It's been revived and rebuilt from our little incident.
Let's go with the good/bad method of race reporting:
Good: Second row lineup
Bad: With the A-Masters
Good: Getting off the line well
Bad: Those guys are fast
Good: Riding both of the steep uphills (all 6 laps for the long one, 4 of 6 on the shorter one)
Bad: Riding both of the steep uphills
Good: Cleaning the mud bog twice
Bad: Can't find a bad with the mod bog... I'm a big fan of deep sloppy mud.
Good: Going up 2 to 1 in the newly developed battle with CTodd
Bad: Giving him a display of my severely inferior bike handling skills laps 1 and 2
Good: Holding off the 45+ winner at the line (those guys are typically more than 2 minutes faster than me)
Bad: Having to hold them off with my chain skipping every 4th pedal stroke (should have gone for the bike change)
Good: Getting closer to catching Coley
Bad: Having Coley be in the self-described "worst shape in a long time" and still not being able to catch him
OK, gotta get back to work. Hoping to get the final chapter of the psuedo Epic up this week.

that's one giant freak bike...
I guess when you party like a rock-star before a race that's not very conducive to racing well, eh? At least I finished the second race.... The 3/4 race was slower. The A Masters are FAST.
Giant freak bike? What makes you say that? Could it be the 90 cm standover height (which I'd need a stepladder for) or the headtube which is the same size as my seat tube?
