Experts - Jon, Mitch and Aryn were off to a good start for the day. While Mitch and Jon were up near the front Aryn was 10th man back going into the woods because he's a moron. Laps 1 and 2 were fast and a lead pack of about 13 guys rode wheel to wheel for about a lap and a half until Mitch decided it was time to see what the dirt tasted like. A broken cleat from the crash took Mitch out on lap two and he had no choice but to limp back to the tent for a DNF.
Note Mitch's cleat is in the pedal still with one screw while his shoe and other screw isn't.
Jon held on up front to finish 3rd while Aryn was able to work laps 3 and 4 a little and ride himself up to the last spot on the podium and take 5th.
Is smiling for the camera at races the same as waving?
One of the many bridges over dirt that had to be crossed
Sport - After the Expert awards Jon had to bolt but Aryn and Mitch stayed around to make sure Ken got a proper send off.
Work that camera you bad boy!
While Ken did not make the podium this week in his class he still put together a solid run and the video of his finish was the highlight of the day:
Brian finished his 200km road ride in Twin Six fashion and stated the hills seemed much larger than last year. He didn't get any pix other than this generic tourist photo of him and Mrs Diesel.
And when shaving your legs, always make sure you shave with an experienced teammate near by to avoid first time shaving disasters like this: (Mitch showing us all what not to do)
Next up: Jon and Brian go back to Lumberjack this weekend for their second Hundo while Mitch plans to head to the Meijer State Games. Ken has his Tri on 6/18 while Mike and Gerry both try and recover from non cycling related injuries that need better stories to make it seem like they were doing something awesome when it happened. And Aryn, well, he'll probably be face down, drunk and passed out in a public park on his weekend off from racing.
