weekend report: levis trow 2008

this past weekend i played pit crew for valerie and nicole at the wisconsin endurance mountain bike series race at levis trow. so here's the dirt.

this is a really fun place to ride. of course, this is spoken as someone who didn't do the race. 50 or 100 miles of this might make me cry. the course was in mostly good condition, with a few low-lying muddy areas. the course offered ample climbing, with a handful of rooty and rocky uphills that required yours truly to play hike-a-bike (i did a lap for fun).

both racers put in a good effort; i'm proud of you guys. nicole had pulmonary problems and had to pull out of the race, but valerie went all 50 miles - good job!

here's the race video. due to my limited available editing time, i'll clarify a few quotes:
me: "i didn't get the gun!"
mystery guy: "one down!"
nicole: "i'm a special case"
valerie: "this race is really *bleep*ing hard!"
valerie: "yes" (paparazzi: "are you happy to be done?")

valerie did eat pepperoni pizza.

nicole did not eat horse.
