Finally, race day
BoneBender 3/6 in the books. After all the rain Friday, I think everyone was pleasantly surprised how good the course shaped up to be for yesterday.
I hate LeMans starts, but ended up 2nd on the bike after the run....and proceeded to get freight trained by about 15 or so guys on the road section before we hit the "real" course.
Spent a bit too much time behind the technically challenged riders who did pass me, but with some patience, it all worked itself out.
Finished up 5th in the 3hr P/1/2 class and was running top 10 overall including the 6hr cats. I was glad I decided to race the 3hr for this time of the season, not to mention, that 34x18 I was pushing may have been a bit large for any longer than I had signed up for.
Alex made it out for the the race to hand up bottles to ol' dad. I think she had fun. Afterwards we headed over to Freestate Brewery for some tasty blackbean burgers and brews.
Now it's time to break down the One9 and send off for warranty(remember, yesterday was on a cracked frame). Everything held together just fine. I should see my new One9 v2 later this week, just in time to build it up,ride it a bit and ready to race 5/1. All that and try to fit in a move to our new house....it's going to be a busy couple of weeks.
