Tomorrow is "participant" day....looking forward to a fun weekend of riding and hanging out. Amanda was nice enough to not only give me one overnight hall pass but two! This will make getting up early tomorrow a.m. a lil more manageable.
About the race, I was perusing racer blogs and found Deejay and Fuzzy John have been up at French Meadows all week riding. Good for them and it should be fun to see the outcome of both these guys racing the NUE series. Funny thing, I think there'll be a couple to few racers like Dez Wilder, maybe a Conrad Snover (if he's racing), Matt Chaney (if he's on the SS) and even Rich Dillen (if he isn't utterly fatigued) that could cause a few point separation between winning the overall and coming in 2nd. Not to forget Chris Mcgill the right coaster who is currently tied for the overall.
Good stuff in the SS class for sure.
Part of me is sad that I'm not in the kind of "race" shape I'd like to be in to mix it up with these good folks, but alas, I'll take the "participant" prize and treat each aid station like a Farmer's Market of good treats! Not to mention my goal of hopps consumption at every aid station I can. But who knows with that kind of nutrition, I might be able to sneak in with a top ten in the SS class.
By race end, I should easily be able to modify the quote from American Flyers to read: "It may seem like we're drinking together, but I'm really 5 beers ahead!" "Can you hear me, I'm FIVE BEERS AHEAD!"
