Sunburst

"Awards at 12:00 o'clock." Oh yeah. My best start ever. Finished the long protracted climbs up ski hill and through forest and find myself right behind those I need to beat with time on my side. Looking so good. What a race! 7018 whom I have beaten before finished fourth, five minutes behind the leader of our class who was of course...... I forgot. My chain broke and after a makeshift fix (the die was missing from my chain tool) I made it a bit further before it broke again for good though I made a desperate attempt at a second repair.
What a tight exciting finish I could have been apart of. But I'm happy for those who won. Really. It's true, I'm not kidding. Really really hap-hap-happy.
Sorry to Sunburst we didn't buy their brats or burgers. I hope they sold out. Saved a couple bucks and stopped at Culver's on the way home. Sorry no pictures to share. Was intending to hang around and get some pictures with our new camera of the better racers but after pushing and coasting my bike nearly eight miles and looking at the results board....
Yeah, I finished the race and stayed to applaud the award winners.
But the Packers won so it's all good. Got home to see the second half in the basement on our old magnavox cabinet TV while I disassembled my bicycle into little pieces. Time for those new parts my friend sent me.
