Ah crap, I’m tired.
The double-u eludes me.
Conditions were perfect. Low temperatures and clouds kept things nice and cool. The nasty horse trail was removed from the course this year which was a huge improvement. The course was fast and fun.
I rode hard from start to finish but maybe not hard enough up the first climb. I watched Shane S ride away feeling confident he would not stick it. Oops. He stuck it and finished 4 minutes up on me. Oh well, I felt good. Finishing time of about 4:07 which is about an hour faster than last year. Jeremiah Bishop rode the 100 in about 7:45!?!? SHAZBOT!! Next year, assuming the conditions are comparable, I want to break 4… or maybe attempt the 100? That’s crazy talk right there!
Those Addictive Cycles guys at Sag 2/3 were awesome. Got me in and out both times fast.
Mingo is the Fools Gold Bull Fighting champ, but don’t mention it to Big Worm.
Some of the highlights.
Friday afternoon ride.
Some racin’.
Some bull fightin’.
Some grillin’.
Dadgum I’m tired.

I think I went buy when you were grilling. It smelled good but didn’t know who you were. how did you do on the 50 what was your time?
Stop by next year, I bet we’ll have the grill.
I was 2nd in 4:07.
NICE! Next year the 100 right? Accidental video…funny shit (was that a PT ;), happens to me all the time…
I think I want to try a 100 but probably not at Fools Gold. I was told a good first timer 100 is the cohutta.
Yeah that’s a PT. The data was cool…. it tickles the nerd in me.
Nice write up. Nice effort. Love the look of the blog, Havent checked it out in a minute, will come back more often. Rock on and try and stay dry!!
