Sagebrush Update!

HOLY CRAP IT GETS COLD AT NIGHT OUT THERE! I have ridden there in the snow many times, but slept in a tent on a thirty degree night there? NOPE! This year's Sagebrush was kinda crazy. It started out for Taylor and I with a rainy and long drive out at the crack o' dawn. After several attempts at sleeping bag procurement, we finally made camp at Lake (that's a joke) Morena. We met Vegas Bob and King james there that evening, and hung out. Campfires are great until they burn out. Then it gets cold. So cold, a banana froze in the bed of my truck. Nice.
Sunday morning, Bert(the hurt) and Ryan Blanchette arrived, completing our team representation for the race. Jay, Ara, and Alex of the Glendale Heavies showed up at the last second, ready to create shennanigans. Greg (Cap'n Pre-Ride) rolled in w/ his one billion to one telephoto creepy-guy at a nude beach with a camera lens camera, and snapped killer pics for everyone. Alex beat on the drum, and heckled each and every athlete on the course. It's a gift, really.
After much sweating, and Taylor hauling a young fella out witha broken collar bone, we had some great stories. Ryan B. placed second in his first "big boy" race!
Bert, newly Semi-Pro, managed to pass several riders in the final miles, placing 11th...that rocks. Also, VEGAS BOB took FORTY MINUTES off his time from last year! Must be the new headset star-nut Jay and I installed prior to race time. King James hauled ass up the initial climb, but cramps held him back at the end of the day.
Thanks to Ara, Taylor, Jay, Greg, and Alex for supporting their teammates!
See you al this week at Sea Otter!
