24 Hours

End of July brought the 24 hrs Bike Race. With Marnie pregnant, we were scrambling for a female for our team. We lucked out having a friend of Marn's, Joanne, join the team. Unfortunately, Joanne received a concussion the week prior during an Ultimate Frisbee tourney. She decided she will try to ride 2 or3 laps as we did nothave another female rider. She was a tropper for sure, especially when the rain decided to hammer the event 4 hours in. I have experienced dry weather previous 24 hrs, but this was one for the books. Somebody described it as riding in Peanut Butter. One had to walk / run many sections as the roots and rocks were sooo slippery..and sketchy..especially the night laps. Deano did not have the best 1:00 am lap...a broken chain etc. I was getting worried when he was over 2 hrs..7 minutes later he pulled in. I hammered out a 1:02 lap after him and see no team mate upon my arrival, Steve was in the bathroom. I waited 7 minutes for him..we ended up being 2nd by 7 minutes..hilarious!!but not. Great times overall as usual. We had 3 rv sites all together of friends racing. Colin joined us this year as well as Steve from ozzie. Until next year
