I'll write nothing about this year's
Chico Racing Hot August Nights 24 Hr Race other than this: I had fun, I was slow, I ate chips, I was abnormally tired from a long two weeks of night shift, and I won a water bottle by pushing over a child.

Worked all night Thursday, got home at 7:30 AM, hit the hay for four hours, then Richard picked me up to drive five hours to the race. |

Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with "C". |

The only shot of the entire race course. I've always wanted to stop and take a photo of this overlook, so I did - but on my pre-lap so that I wouldn't lose precious seconds in completing an average lap time for a non-professional, late 30's, over weight, recreational mountain biker. Time is of the essence. |

Curvy Butt looked a little worse for wear. |

Declan's first 24 Hr race and he smoked the kids field. His old man hopped him up on EPO, freezies and marshmallows right before the big event. |
 |
What a champ! |
 |
Camp life. |

For the love of Gwad! Rick has a bladder the size of a walnut - we stopped every 30 minutes on the way home so that he could take a whiz on the side of the highway. |
My apologies for my seven other teammates who I did not manage to snap a photo of - laziness, lack of motivation and my dislike for you kept me shooting more. That is all.
