Drove 2 hours round trip for less than 13 minutes of riding due to another broke spoke on my expensive ENVE wheels!  That sucked!  At least I got to test my new drone and chest harness for other camera.  Was too foggy anyway to capture any views.

First ride back after injuring ribs in a crash in bike race 2 weeks ago. Felt weak but no pain just sore & high HR.  But had fun & filmed some of my gravel ride at Noontootla Creek & waterfall plus stayed mostly in zone 2.

BC 6hr final lap

BC 6hr 2nd of 3 laps but with stop to help crashed racer

BC 6hr 1st of 3 laps on 2 person team with John LaBelle where I crash on VMT and lose camera!

MGA Blankets Creek 6hr 2 person male team with John LaBelle.  Finished 6th out of 15 teams instead of placing higher, mainly due to my hard day on the bike including a crash on VMT (bruised ribs & lost camera) on my first lap.  But I was able to help a fallen rider (EMS helped Evac) and another racer found my camera.  

John was killing it laying down consistent fast laps.  My 15+ minute stop to help patient on lap 2 put us off the podium but was definitely the right call.  My HR was pegged anyway on the first lap and I continued to get slower preventing an 8th lap and faster overall time.  

It’s time to recover and take some time off the bike.  Spend some time hiking with the wife.  But overall it was another great day seeing old friends and making new ones at another great event by Lisa Ropke Randall & Chris Randall of Mountain Goat Adventures.  Even the rain couldn’t ruin the great memories made.
