Steve, great write up, as usual. Great to have you on my team to get
things recorded so well. Here is my cliff notes version:
Day 0: This lobster is great, but can we get this thing started
already!
Day 1: I can't believe I am riding in first place...er, there goes Ken
Looi, I mean second place...woops, there go the speeders, I mean third
place....who are these guys...Texacalifragilistic? Oh well, I still
can't believe we are in 4th place.
Day 2: I can't believe we are in the front again, this might actually
be for real. Pesky Texacali p***** us again later in the day. Darn
them! Rains a lot, but at least its not too cold or windy.
Day 3. Time Trials are fun, only ~1hr of riding. Crits are even more
fun, but I want a do-over ;)
Day 4. The ups and downs feel like a personal roller coaster! We love
it and keep ahead of Texacali. Lots of great dueling in the middle of
the race. Team Smile loves the course even more, wins the day, and
beats us by so much we don't even see them towards the end.
Day 5. We start the day about 30 seconds behind Texacali in a fight for
overall 3rd place. We push hard but can not stay with them. We stay
ahead of Smile and are thrilled to finish 4th. The sun comes out for
the last great downhill, and we even get a tailwind to push us home.
Splendid wrapup to a fantastic week. Ice cream and beer follow as just
rewards.
