One of the collegiate women went through a dip in the trail incorrectly and went over. She lives to ride again.Hank Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243840232233423724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-17387809074674173052011-10-10T09:38:52.459-07:002011-10-10T09:38:52.459-07:00Funny -- here's me at the same spot last year....Funny -- <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CGYQGxEMolw/TLuwjPL_AAI/AAAAAAAAKhQ/vOeKsklD4Qo/s1600/P1050008-1.JPG" rel="nofollow">here's me at the same spot last year</a>. Check out my smug smile as the field crashed behind me. Of course that smile disappeared a 1/2 a lap later when I went over my bars into a ditch at the back of the course. Then threw a chain on the next obstacle. Ah Cat 4 cross. How I love and miss thee.John Spearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187638368645707099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-46002736059840245582011-10-09T17:48:04.573-07:002011-10-09T17:48:04.573-07:00Scott,

I think I ran into you - I looked up and suddenly saw another racer at a complete stop in front of you and by the time I hit the brakes it was too late. Sorry! I gotta learn to get out front...or maybe stay back even further? Fun course, though. I loved that banked turn.Wileydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318247350407124306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-90110403696813198512011-10-09T15:18:28.014-07:002011-10-09T15:18:28.014-07:00Jacque,
