That was me, last week, at the Lake Orion High School Dragon GAP mountain bike race, taken by someone from the Cannondale Midwest team. I did the race again today and received another second place medal, beaten out by someone who runs a mountain bike program for kids at a local middle school.
Today I did the ride on my Specialized geared / multi-speed bike, which was probably a good thing as the course took a different route which included some very soft, freshly cut trail that I had to slowly grind through. Even though it was quite a bit more difficult than last time, my time was a bit faster than the last time. I guess that’s what happens when one doesn’t get lost, eh?
If you’re interested Here’s a photo of the two second place medals I received on the number plates, and here’s one of Doug (black2003ss), Bob (utabintarbo), and I after receiving medals for our various places in the two beginner / citizen classes (35 and under, and 36 and over). This really is a nifty race. It’s short, difficult, fun, and the entry fees go towards some nice after school programs.
