I didn't give up because I wanted to finish my first event. Three laps later, it came to an end. I did it. 90th out of 93 not including six DNF's in the 4b's. I'm happy with that. I even made $6 and change on Heckle Hill. Lots of fun for sure. I didn't hear too many jeers although some were funny.

"That bike looks WAAAAAYYYYY too clean".

"What are doing?...There is a bunch of fifth graders up there..Go get em". Actually that was true, they were up there.

My favorite when I passed on rider on a hill-

"Don't let him get by you, he has mutton chops!!!" I was the one with the chops.

Learned lots and looking forward to doing it again. It was cool to see Barry Wicks take the Cat 1/2/3 class.
