Mike, Joe (or John in the back ground) me, Mark, and Lou.

 

So I haven't road raced in a few years and I miss it a little.

I don't miss the stress of getting there and I have plenty of sore appendages to remind me of my time spent racing.

March of ’07 I raced my first enduro and it was a pretty cool experience.

I didn’t finish and I had an awful time during it but I guess I’m a gluten for punishment ‘cuz I’m trying it again this year.

I’ll be running in the 71st Sandy Lane Enduro in New Jersey.

Well, '08 turned out to be no easier than '07. It KICKED MY ASS!!!

The cardio must be working because I wasn't winded but my shoulders are just so shot that the whoops DESTROYED them. My legs didn't hurt that night but the next day they gave me some grief. Today is the Tuesday after the race and they are sore but much more manageable then yesterday.

Here's a table of points for Brian (Cheese), me, and Lou.

Brian score, number 3 was after his flat.
Not bad falling 25 minutes behind after fixing a flat.
Number 8 was 100 minutes and 15 seconds.
When the timekeeper yelled out one hundred fifteen Brian took it as 115 
so to make up time he took off and came into the next check 10 minutes 
early.
If he would have made up the whole 15 minutes he would have been DQed.
Lou had no timekeeping gadgets and still zeroed one check and was damn close on a few others. That's awesome!
I just suck.

Here's the enduro race trailer.

Right click this link

Sandy Lane ’08 Route Sheet

and use the "Save Link As" (or whatever your favorite browser calls it) and save this file to your computer.

Then you’ll need to download Enduro Roll Chart 3.1, install it, and open the above file with Enduro Roll Chart 3.1 for it to make sense (even then it really doesn’t make sense).

Hell, I don't make any sense so all this crap won't make any sense!!!
