I figured I'd ride the road bike down to the local xc race Sunday, you know, support the local scene. After over an hour of those lovely South Tex winds I arrived at the venue, only to have Don offer up his bike for me to race......I couldn't refuse. After all, it had been about 4 months since my last sampling of dirt.
I wasn't sure how my sedentary body would react. After all, the night before was spent swilling beers, eating bad food and watching Willie Nelson in concert. What the heck, "just pin it and see how it goes", I thought. Let's just say I haven't sustained that effort for an hour and 20 min. since last Fall's Tahoe-Sierra 100.
I survived all attempts to crater myself and had a good time as well.
Thanks to Don for the steed. It fit me pretty well.
