What can I say, It was a blast

With the crowd not so big this year, we found ourselves upgrading from this to this. Well lets get this party started. I started the race because I wanted to just drop the hammer and see what I could do. My goal was to get into the top 30 for the first lap. I made my goal. I came in 25th overall. I guess that goal was very minor compared to what else we had to do. Race for 24 hours. Second out was Brett S. He ended up having a flat tire. His CO2 didn't work, and had to bum a pump. Damn! Lost a lot of time, dead last. Oh well we knew we had to remain study, because there was a lot of racing to be done. As the team threw down study laps, we found ourselves crawling back up the ladder. Nightfall came, once again we remained study. Had a 50 min. gap on 4th place, and whithin 8 min of 2nd place. Then Chris Z came back in with a broken handle bar. Work Work Work! Well it boiled down to the last two laps. Joe N. gained 1 min gap, then it was my turn to seal the deal. So I gave it my all, but got passed by the 2nd place team rider. All I did was put my head down, stayed study, and hoped he would crack or have a technical. No such luck! We fell 3min 14seconds short of 2nd place. Oh well. A hell of an effort by my teammates Brett S, Chris Z, and Joe N. I had an absolute blast.
Other notes: LAIRD KNIGHT IS FULL OF HIMSELF!! I think anybody who was there would agree with me.
