Rim Nordic #2, and WV State Race!

Today we had races on two fronts again! One at Rim Nordic, near Big Bear California, and the other in the hills of West Virginia. Jeff "Tookie" Williams started the day off back east in a very rocky, sloppy, rooty race. described as the "toughest race ever", Jeff was in third place until his carbon handlebar decided it wanted to turn into a divining rod and point toward water. With that fixed, Jeff muscled his way back into the fray, then his THIRD chain break of the year happened. This forced Jeff to run the last half mile, and he ended up in a VERY respectable sixth place. Way to sack-up and finish, Tookie!

Closer to home base, we had Bev, James, Dartar, Vegas Bob, and Heidi representin' the 'Bone at Rim Nordic. Here comes the info that I know...Dartar took first in his Sport class taking the fastest overall Sport time. Heidi took first in Sport, setting the 4th fastest Sport time. James placed second (way to go, big man), and Bev I think also took first..with a busted pedal and a race protest over a girl who did only two laps instead of three! Vegas Bob had camped out Friday and Saturday night, and got plowed at CHAD'S PLACE in Big Bear the night before the race. Congrats to VB for not blowing goo on the other Experts!

I ahve no pics, as I am not on my computer. We are heading to Utah at o-dark-thirty tomorrow, but I will take my laptop and look to find a place to send you all pics from the weeks riding. See ya'll in Brian Head next weekend!
