Fun times at the sandbag pit
Sunday’s MTB race was very hard, but fun. The course was pretty much nothing but super-rocky trails and then a nice jaunt through a big sand quarry called Adler’s pit (up in my hometown of Glocester, RI). Boy, did I ever get my technical practice in. After some mechanical mishaps on the first lap, Chuck and I finally stopped crashing on top of each other and we rolled in together to each win our respective age groups in Novice, albeit both a little bloody and bashed up. We were awarded some nice particle board plaques which my wife immediatley wanted thrown in the trash. Then we proceeded to get called sandbaggers by all our freinds and teammates. Good stuff!
On tap for this weekend is the Belltown Classic, another Root66 MTB race out in CT. I am having a nice bipolar debate with myself whether to move up tp the Sport class for this one or not. I know I should, but I kinda like this winning thing…
