Reimer's Ranch in Austin

This was a new race venue for us. It was fun and hard!! There were a lot of technical rocky climbs and some really fast smooth turns at the end. Nicole won 5th and a massive $14 purse. Billy and I did our usual mediocre finishes, but we had fun nevertheless. Thanks for looking!

Warda Race - '08

We went back to Warda for the Spring Series race this past weekend. We brought some friends with us. It was Nicole, David, Billy, Vonda, Billy, Stacy, her dog Max, Karl, and Danyel. It was Danyel's first ever MTB race and she had fun with no incidents. Billy and I finished in the lower 50% and still liked it. Nicole finished 2nd in the Expert Women's group for 30-39 year olds and won some $$.

The best part for me was surprising Nicole with a new bike at the race. I bought it from James Webb - our bike pusher/dealer. He brought Nicole's new Hei Hei and she was surprised. I think it is well deserved for 7 years of putting up with me. She also raced with clipless pedals for the 1st time and did well. Go Nicole!!
