the baddle

Jerry's Baddle was a blast last Saturday. Over one hundred racers competed despite the rain. The party/transition area was at Wilderness Cove Campground. It was a great venue. Steep descents and bad weather made road hairier than the river. At one point both of my feet were unclipped, my chain was off the chain ring and I was swerving across both lanes of traffic on slick pavement. Somehow, I pulled it all together.

Transition area.

Later in the day the kegs were tapped and the sun poked out, providing a perfect setting for a kick ass party. Jed Hinkle and Clayton Gaar were fired up about winning the team event with the fastest time overall.

I was excited to bring this trophy back home. It will continue to be passed around the winners circle.
