Tuesday evening they have these Mountain Bike Races. Registration is free and so is the beer. Now there is an incentive to get finished early! I rode the Sport Race (Intermediate) for the first time and was Steady Eddy with the pacing and just kept passing people. The third lap I dumped the bike in a sandy hairpin turn, but got right back on and only lost 10-15sec. I thought I had moved up to about 5^th, but checked the results and I finished 3^rd. I was pretty thrilled. Chugged down a brew to celebrate. The little woman got 3^rd woman in the beginner race too. Rockin’. Mountain bike racing rules. If I ever quit this running thing, I’ll be a mountain biker full time.
