WOW! What a race we had on Saturday in Mt. Morris. Experts went out first at 12 PM. It started to drizzle shortly there after. The Rain fluctuated from light to moderate for the remainder of the afternoon and races. Lynne was able to finish her rain shortened event of 1.5 laps in first place (only woman in her age group to start) and third overall out of 20 or so.

I finished! And that's all I needed to do. The course was in aweful shape with most of the wooded switchback climbing and descending trails being too muddy and greasy for riding. Hike-a-bike was the plan of the day. Rolling the machine along in some areas only caused more hurt than it was worth. Mud adhered itself to the tires like dough. Stopping often to clean things up led to racers passing only to be passed once they stopped to clean their steed.

Oh well, I can only hope things in Rhinelander are better. See you there.

Sorry, no pictures as of yet. Maybe Bubba has some to share- http://www.casadebubba.blogspot.com/
