On Sunday we’ll be taking a ceremonial lap in remembrance of Brett.
That line pretty much stopped me dead in my tracks. Send a wave of chills over me.
I'm feeling at a loss for words, this morning i did have a couple thins that i needed/wanted to get down on paper. But they've sort of moved on and I'm not seemingly able to pull it out of my brain.
And then letting this sit for a while. Has not percolated anything.
I did in the mean time fix a bunch of 'scope issues - and register for Dayville. So we'll see all yall there. It will be intersting to see what the heck the "wall of death" actually is. Two sets of barriers will be a first! Wow. Ya have to get off the bike more than once in a race? No way. If this wall of death is actually too steep to ride, well that makes 3x... this 'could' be fun!!!
Here's to hoping i can get the batteries recharged in time. Right now if i close my eyes and look up at the top left (ya know cause i got one of them bionic HUD things) it is not quite blinking red "dead battery" but... it ain't green "fully charged"

you shoulda done mansfield, I was off my bike 7 times a lap (no joke). If you were good you could get away with 6, and if you were really really good then maybe 0 (if you can bunny hop and ride sand super good). but most of us were 6 or 7 times off a lap.
yeah...
*sigh*
i know...
*sigh*
well... there is always next year.
Thanks for cheering me up... ya freaking feather weight...
the only way you were getting off zero times per lap at mansfield was if you could fly. i think josh forgot about the runup.
OK
Barrier 1
Log
Sand 1
Sand 2
Runup
Barrier2
Six. I got off six times/lap.
If you could jump the log you could eliminate one dismount/remount. If you can bunny-hop 40cm barriers (and I swear the 2nd one was higher) you could eliminate at least the 2nd. The first was a bit tough as it was at the top of a small rise. But I bet someone with mad skillz could do it.
That was a FUN course. I just died. Being sick does that to you. As well as trying to keep up with the McCormacks of the world.
ctodd. some of us (me) ran an extra runup that you rode up. it was the steep one between the longish small loose rock climb and the true runup. when you break your bike and have no easy gear to get up it in, it becomes a run....
7 dismounts (8 if you count my first lap on the off camber). I saw Curley et al riding up the second wall. I would have like to have seen how many were doing it at the end of the race. I was basically chucking my bike up the last run up and clawing my way up.
Thank goodness the course was "easier" than last year.
Really sad when you read the remembrances of the person who died. Reminds us to recognize how special moments can be when surrounded by people who make them special
