    Beginner's Luck? :)

    Keeping my mind from imploding on itself during the race was pretty important. Just keeping things lighthearted. I think you were the girl I talked to about that one chinese chain "Chopstix" being next to the UC Cyclery. Right? Little stuff like that really helped...

    And riding with the winner of the 50-59 category for the last three laps! I probably wouldn't have done 9 +10 without his encouragement! Hope he reads this.

    Yes, that was me...we talked about it (the 2nd time when you passed me, you were like, "I know what it's called now"!)

    Great job out there!

    Building yours up, of course, by doing a good deed.

    Good work man. I did the same on the fire road, fixed one chain and later on the same lap gave the same guy a tube. The next lap I helped someone else fix a der.

    I'm one of those friends that people dred riding with because I never...Never carry any tools.
    For some reason I carried some this race. In the first 2 laps I gave away a tube, chain breaker, and a couple Co2s. Must have been payback time and I got lighter.
