It was a pleasure meeting and riding with you a little bit, and I must say, you have an excellent style. I always smiled when a store owner would tell me about the guy who came through that morning after camping off the side of the road last night and bought 11 candy bars before moving on. Great job in the race, and by the way, if you are the Mountain Turtle, then I guess I'm the Mountain Slug! <br />Cheers,<br />Tony HustonTonyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17919630486776883408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-60601624775576620072010-06-30T11:10:01.969-07:002010-06-30T11:10:01.969-07:00Thanks for bringing some of the reasons into focus...Thanks for bringing some of the reasons into focus. <br /><br />On a side note, Blaine and Erik did the race and themselves proud by sharing second.

I imagined you breathing hard, pedaling up some ridiculously steep mountainside. Ten minutes later I was huffing and puffing hard as I tried to keep my balance on a sharp, off-camber corner on the moto course.<br /><br />You didn't get to finish, but you certainly won. I came in Dead Effing Last, but in the end I won, too.<br /><br />Winning is when you show up and give it everything you've got. Where and how you stop riding doesn't matter, because you began and went as far as you could.<br /><br />Congratulations on winning. You do it well.bikelovejoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141991025526354179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-40377626232382338552010-06-30T07:50:24.294-07:002010-06-30T07:50:24.294-07:00Kent,
