Just a quick one to shout out to Dave Erickson, who dodged squirrels with the grace of a kung-fu master to nab 4th in the first race of the season:
B Race - Cat 3 / 4
4th - David Erickson - JRVS/Casey Auto Group
5th - Frank Deal - JRVS/Casey Auto Group
Also props to Frank Deal, obviously, and Cam Holland, 5th in the A race.
Way to go, Dave, 4th out of a field of 56 is no slouch. Better than my Sunday, which involved a ramp at Freedom and a head-first, piledriver style landing. Might be time for a new mountain bike, if only because I'm an inch shorter than I was.
