I'm not that cold. I'm glad my yard sale happened while alone in much softer dirt. I’m pretty sure Fatty said something funny just before taking that picture. I’m not that cold.

After Elden took off the first group came into the start finish line. One of the guys endo'd over the finish line "bump". Later that night, Greg (Bike Monkey super hero) described the crash as "The hand of god coming down picking the rider up and ramming the riders face into the dirt." An accurate description. Luckily he wasn't seriously hurt. But as well know...... "It's always fun until someone gets hurt, then if hilarious."

I'm no 'Fatty' (well, I am but that's beside the point). One of my goals was to 'help' <i>Team Thompson</i> and <i>Levis Fatty Fundo</i> I thought the best way was to be out there and let Fatty pass me instilling a sense of speed that would propel them to the podium. Elden passed me on the single track near the end of his lap (yes that means it did take me 2hrs for my first lap). I did not realize that my role as 'rabbit' would cause him to assume the mantle of <i>'Rocket'</i> and therefore be the source of his low earth orbit reentry at the finish line. For this I apologize.
