2008 Beaver Creek (8 Man) RAAM Team Try-outs, Saturday, May 31, 2008

I WAS READY TO QUIT RIDING BIKES FOREVER TODAY UNTIL THIS CAME IN FROM JONO..SORRY NO PICS TODAY, THEY ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND WOULD HAVE BEEN OF THE PACE LINE DROPPING ME LIKE A BAD HABIT...I HAD A GREAT 70 MILE TIMETRIAL OVER FOUR MOUNTAIN PASSES AND SUFFERED LIKE I NEVER HAVE CHASING. BUT THIS IS SOME GOOD SHIT FROM JONO HEMA-TOE-BRA ( you one funny broski).

I DID NOT NEED A CRYSTAL FUCKING BALL TO PREDICT THE OUTCOME OF THIS RIDE.

I LATER COME TO FIND OUT THAT WHILE I WAS CHASING OFF THE BOTTOM OF TENNESSEE PASS AT 27-30MPH, JOSIAH AND JIMI WERE PULLING AT THE FRONT OF THE GROUP AT 40+ MPH, IS THAT A PROBLEM?
