Baptism by fire



On Friday, Andy (Highgear Mechanic) called and said my bike was built. It was raining when he called, so there wasn't going to be a chance to ride it then. That meant I might as well take it to Branched Oak and race on it for part of the 12 hours. Initial thoughts, I love that bike!!!!! Andy, you did an incredible job putting it together.

About the 12 hours, somebody forgot to tell weather this is Spring. WOW it was cold. What made it worse was that it was wet cold. So, we would do a lap / change into clothes that were cold and wet / shiver for two hours / change back into our wet riding clothes / and start the whole process again. Next time we do this the Goatheads will need to bring one of two items. A portable fire pit or an RV.

Even though we were cold and VERY TIRED, Team Goathead finished third in the team division
