Congratulations to Lee on his 1st place he gave an impressive race to say the least!!

There seems to be a bit of confusion! Allow me to clear things up. There were (2) course volunteers within walking distance of the saddle. These (2) volunteers should be commended for quickly making their way to the fallen rider. They both had walkie talkies. They contacted race officials- many times. How do I know? Because I kept asking them if help was on the way. Help never arrived! After 30 minutes of waiting, (I) followed the racer down to the cul-du-sac.

The ONE problem (I) had was: There was a perfectly good path that led from the saddle to the water tower. Why the RHINO did not show up, I do not know. Did they ask if he was able to walk his way to safety? Meet us half way? NO! Did they ask to speak to the rider? NO! Could they have driven the RHINO (from the cul-de-sac) to the saddle? Not sure! What I do know is we spent a 30 minutes waiting for word on what to do! Never got it!

With that said, a vehicle was waiting for us once we arrived at the cul-de-sac. For that I applaud them! :clap: Once again, thank you to the race volunteers! :clap:

Let's just call it a learning experience :beer:

 

Just kidding of course! It was good to see you out there, next time I need to go watch you in 4x.

 

Jason it was great getting to meet you out there. I didn't connect who you were until I got home and saw the photos.

New folder for only STR riders. It should have all of your pictures. I have a list of 37 plate numbers and there are 30 pictures on the new folder. Let me know if I didn't add you.

Congrats to all!!!:bang:

Thanks Dino for yelling you suck at my head as I went by.:bang:
I still hear cow bells in my sleep. Cow bell nightmares.

Thanks! Can you add 169O to your list if not on there?

 

Sid... I think this is why I had 2 seconds on you... you need to stay on the trail. :lol:

Thanks for sharing!

Love ya Sid! :wave:

 

Ohh... Ohhh... Schwinn needs our help! Does anyone know the number for the "Waaaaaaaambulance?"
If I promise to re-post the following photo, will you promise to stop crying?!? :lol: :lol: :lol:

:beer: :beer:

Jesse- Thanks for the pics! That guy in the sequence crashed pretty good on his side. He was uninjured. We were trying to straighten his handlebars for two minutes. We couldn't get them to center.... Jesse was soo bummed. He brought his camera and couldn't stand still enough to take pics! Haha!:lol:

 

I'm still putting the DH album together but here are a few more STR folks. Again impressive riding out there as always!! PM if anyone wants me to look you up and send to email. Photomom is the best she even offered to let me shoot next to her with one of her "Big Daddy" cameras next race. Southridge has to be the most fun and laid back race atmosphere that I know you all have to come out if you haven't been.
