Riding along and I hear an odd "clunk" stop and check parts but can't find anything, off I go, Bob riding behind me says the bike is "wiggling" on the next uphill I look back to see this. A broken frame. : (

Billy Bob comes home from the shop for the second time this week. New starter, battery, clutch master and slave units, and wiring fixes. Maybe it will run for a week or two ; )

Not really a POD, but this was a biz assignment, I asked the guys, "you all set on OSHA rules?" they said yes. Hours later we get a call from the owner.... I guess they weren't. Glad my boss has to deal with that!

My favorite view (OK not my privy) but waking up in the woods! Otherwise a long day, still very tired and a 8 hour drive home.

The Lodi Farms 12 Hour Mtn Bike race in Virginia. My first attempt at this type of racing. It was an interesting day. It was hot, over 90 degrees. The course was about 9.5 miles and VERY technical. Lots of roots, log crossings and twists. The plan was to start slow and go slower... that is what I did. I will have to wait to see the results later in the week, but I rode just over 10 hours, 65.75 miles, and finished my last lap just before 1:30A.M. Unlike any other kind of race I have done, at the end, I wasn't beat down, my muscles (not counting consistent cramping in my legs) were not sore, I was just gassed. Physically and mentally. Twice, sometime after midnight, I just rode into the brush because I forgot to turn the handlebars ; )
All in all a great time!
