Somehow finishing last is so much more gratifying when you are still able to contribute to a cause as lofty as the FGBC - RRR FGD Challenge. I think there were ten of us so-called experts. So my crappy effort should still be good for a few points. The Fraggle finished last too. Fortunately, her last place finish nets us 25 points. That's the same as Gilles picked up for winning the expert race. I'm not sure where the Cricket ended up. But I'm happy to say that he didn't catch me. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about KK. He passed me sometime during the second lap. As for the President, he discovered just before the race that his frame had a fairly significant crack in it. He decided he would give it a go anyway. That did not prove to be a wise decision. He lasted about 1 km before having to pull the plug. Most are no doubt wondering why he elected to race with a broken frame. But we at the FGBC Dept. of Petty Rivalries are trying to figure out why he did not just run the rest of the course. After all, points were at stake. The only thing we came up with is that running sucks.
Mike dropped by after the TTT. He said Cousin Adam was nowhere to be found. That's too bad, because Mike was looking for a partner too. The two of you could have ridden together. As it is, Mike finished 4th working together with some dude named Ivan. Ivan gets half of those points though. Maybe we should approach him about selling them to us.
The WNRS was awesome this year. Thanks to the Olympia Club, and especially Kevin, for all the work that went into it.
Results and an official update of the score coming soon.

1. After I got home from work, I waffled for a while between racing and mixing up a blender drink, but not for very long. Nice work, Mike.
2. There are those of us who have never experienced so much as a single cracked frame, much less multiple such misfortunes. Then there is the President...
The President has the market of misadventures cornered. Don't even try to keep up with him.
