Way to go Bike Chain!
From the racers to the cheerleading section, the chain gang was in full effect this weekend. It definitely makes the racing much more fun to have the whole family out there in attendance.
Gotta give all the racers due credit; each rider brought something to the table. Tim, jeeeesh, what a breakthrough performance. Expert podium, not much more to say, that was awesome. Ric, prolly not what he would have liked under normal circumstances. However, to have been sick (in the lungs too), make a game day decision to race, and not have been run off from the soflo bullies - that was very impressive to pull off a 3rd place with mad consistent lap times. Its crazy to think that 3rd place in expert is a dissappointing finish for you. Zak finished a race!!! And got 3rd place in expert lite (singlespeed). He looked solid on the first two laps, leading some of it, until a couple crashes and a wall got in his way. Way to gut it out to 3rd. David won in sport class and made it look easy with expert lap times (very consistent too). Tyler did his first race, and won!! On a fully rigid bike by the way. Terry trained so much in the past three weeks that he caught and passed Steve (who beat him at the last race). Maybe Terry gets the most improved medal?? And then Steve, who showed up at like 10 or 10:30 wasn't even going to race. He finally got talked in to racing (luckily, he just so happened to have his bike and all necessary race gear :)) and raced with style - enjoying a quesadilla from Tijuana Flats while coming through for his last lap. I'm not sure how Colter and Jason did, but I know Colter was never going to race again at his last race; but he did. And jason seemed to be pretty happy with his race and more happy that it was over....
You guys be sure to go by Tijuana Flats and let them know how good the food was and that we all appreciate their support.

Please, everyone, try not to post your replies all at once........
all right. I offer a reluctant attab-boy to you psycho race freaks making bike rides tougher for the rest of us.
Yes good times ideed on Sunday and everyone cheering really made a difference. The only thing missing was a grill, although Tiaunna Flats did hit the spot.

er...my rigid fork had a bent brake boss so I had front squish...
I am not sure I got faster or if Steve slowed down a little, but thanks. I want his "A" game before I take a victory lap.
Having you guys at the start line was like a nitros boost.
Thanks Kent and Mark for all the effort you guys put in. It's so cool to have a place to hang eat and drink. (I owe Zak a beer!)
We should all do lunch at T.J.F. this week.
Big Jim, W.Y.D.?!
Wrecking Ball, forget Steve's "A" game. Stop racing now, and you can forever say, "The last time we raced...". I like the lunch idea. Thursday...?
Like Kent did when he beat me (BY TWELVE MINUTES!) at Bump and Grind in 1902. Even though I hadn't been riding and I had a broken shock (who needs a fork at Bump anyway?). Naw, I'm gonna take the high road and wait for Steve to break up with his new chick, so he can ride again. Then? MONO-E-MONO!
Thursday...I'm in.
always fun to get everyone together.
Damn! We got the best crew ever!!! I love you guys...and hate you a little too, each in your own special way.
Mark and Kent, seriously, you guys pull the BC crew together and keep em pumped up, props to you both.
For the record Tiaunna Flats was my post practice lap dinner on Sat., its good stuff but def. tuff to choke down during a race lap.
All of the BC is awesome. Looking forward to many more years. Glad Terry took the high road and is not going to bust anybody's balls - that would be so out of character if he did that.
