I was blessed by the pope
This weekend I did my first official mountain bike cross country race at the Sea Otter Classic (at Laguna Seca in Monterey). It was a swell time.
Here are some highlights of the race:
• I was blessed by the Pope On a Bike™
• I gave a 16 year old kid half my Clif bar cuz he total bonked out and couldn't ride anymore (he was pretty stoked, so I felt like nice person)
• took a gulp of Guinness from Team Hamana on the last mile of the ride, which was 19 miles. (Team Hamana is famous for being drunk and wearing lederhosen while racing and having crazy parties the night before races.)
Me after the race - my nostrils are still flaring from trying to catch my breath from those last few meters.
