Game day-DSJ



Critical section-to ride or to run that is the question.
We finally made it up till 10 pm last night..whoo hoo. We watched the BC provincial championships yesterday. I think O'town needs to host Nationals next year, because the spectator turnout, enthusiasm

wasn't even a third of a local OBC race. But we'll see today when and if the smack down takes place in both the Championship races. I'll be in the pit for Hawkes and the Cyclery Stevens Crew in the am. I hope it's uneventful because I spent 2 hours cleaning the bikes yesterday and if Craig needs a spare the pledge can is running low.
Tasha is a little nervous, not too bad yet but progressively the anxiety should increase throughout the day. Usually her hands get really sweaty and there there a pool of sweat on the laptop keyboard. I'm gonna be in trouble for that, hopefully she doesn't see this until tonight.
Directly above is a picture of RWR's Mike Nash negotiating the tricky sand by the shore, the first pic is the potentially one of the defining obstacles of the course, the second sand run up. Probably hard to see from the first pic, but lots of large jagged rocks near the top, some guys were trying to ride that yesterday, in a constant quest to eliminate all unnecessary running.
Next update I'll tell you how it played out.
