    BLECH. just went out to finish fixing my DH bike, and it seems it'll be MIA for this race. started checking things, and in addition to my broken brake lever housing ($$$), a taco'd wheel (also $$$), my pads got contaminated during the bleed of the brake, so they need replacements ($), my der. hanger is messed up beyond repair as well ($), and finally, the kicker, my friggin rear mech is bent ($$$).

    I'm pretty sad right now, since I was looking forward to rocking the reign on this track, but I guess I'll have to settle for the bumpier ride. swapped my wide bars to the trail bike, and might get a better front tire :?:

    other than that, I gotta pin it to win it on my little bike, and see what happens.

    see everyone tomorrow.

    If I knew my rear brake would stay fixed, I would loan you the Faith, but you dying on a DH trail due to brake failure wouldn't be to fun..

    If someone said "hi" wearing jeans on their way to the lower garden I'm so embarrassed I can't recognise anyone with the helmets on? Who were you? Everyone looked good out there at practice I think one or two placed in 4x RC_compton I think and a few in Super D.. Going through photos now. See ya tomorrow.
