Mountain Biking

The 2010 edition of the Burn 24 was different from all the preceding editions in that it was wet! Storms came through Friday night and completely trashed our site. Three pop-ups were salvagable but one of the team tents was totaled...absolutely no chance at recovery.
The course was fun but, according to previous racers, much slower due to the slippery conditions. The beginning lap was treacherous in that the mud was packing the treads and not shedding, so climbing and, especially cornering really made for a challenging, whopping time!
ASR had a great weekend as far as down time as Swannee was sick from an "unclean" hydration bladder earlier in the week (in fact, I was sitting in the Port-O-John when the start gun went off - this was to be an indictation of things to come). Billy had a great race and in fact - its written all over his face as you can see in this photo!

This was taken after Billy's last lap and just before donning the team jersey and riding triumphantly across the finish line! Way to go, Billy - I'll be in better shape next year!!
