Now its 2am and I’m suited up for my first night lap. Helmet and bar mounted lights that turn night into day under more then 20 watts of lighting power (in total) well I’m off. I love the night riding because you always scare the crap out of yourself and hit shit.
Well I didn’t know this was going to be an epic lap, going into on of the second turns (doing 50km/h or 32mph) I am out running my lights, and power slide into the tree on the left of a right hand turn. This starts all the problems. My bars mounted lights get ripped off and are now dangling flashing their light all over the place. I decided to just attach the on that shoots the farthest ahead on and go again (remember I have a hemlet mounted one too). Well the course is a lot of fun and I meet up with 3 ladies who have really bright lights (and nice butts too) so I hang back with them talking to them about how they like the race and shit. But they keep going down in the technical stuff so I pass them on a fire road. I get back and crash for a few hours on the grass by my car and then am poked by someone to go out and do it all again. The first night lap I hit a lot of shit and the next time around is only worse but my adreinil is pumping and I’m having and blast so I go out for more (stupid me). My lights on the bars get ripped off just like last time but this time I can’t seem to get them back on, so I’m running with one 10 watt light on my head.
Basically it took me 2 hours to complete this last night lap because I couldn’t see more then 20 feet ahead of me (its flat light meant for technical sections, to light up and area not to aim ahead) so I have to slow down to 20km/h 13mph (I’m pissed now) I almost take myself out on a drop where I go flying and bike comes with me, I land on one of my knees (left I think) and pain shoots through my body like I’ve only felt once before (when I rapped my right knee around a tree and the knee cap came off to the side) well it didn’t happen this time but I got up in a daze and started riding again. To add to this its now foggy as hell so things are even slippery then my last lap.
I get back so pissed off I chucked my bike to Richard (another guy on our team). That’s when I was deciding if I should be going for a drive or sleeping well when I got back from my shower I fell asleep in my car (boi I love sleeping in my car). I wake up around 8am and head off to the bathroom.
This is when I head a song “I’m going to soak up the sun” coming from a red jeep a few camp sites down, on the way to the bathrooms. Well there are 3 girls in bikinis washing their red jeep. My jaw hit the floor I waved and said morning. Got a smile from one of them. As I’m coming back from the bathroom ones running with a bucket of water (clean water to rinse the car) and she's getting all down the front of her. OMG!
It gets better when we go up to the chalet aka start/finish area for our last man to come in @12pm (when the race ends, its Sunday btw) they are setting up for the give anyways. Typical they call names but this time the band starts playing and someone on a mic says we have such and such a product for the girl with the best booty. Well I didn’t realize it until I rounded the building but most of the girls are in bathing suits or shorts with bikini tops on. Well out come 3 water guns and all hell breaks lose. I was in heaven.
If you couldn’t tell I loved this race!
And it looks like I might be doing another one in mid august (should be hotter then)!
