Why Russ, Why! The new paint job the new drive train, why???????? Good god man don't you have any respect for that thing? And where are the pictures of you after the race?
As soon as I saw Ben, I wanted to go home, but Jake made me race. What?, I'm American. I gotta blame someone don't I? At the start of lap two I kept getting rocks in between the chain and rings and the pedals would just stop. I didn't want to spend another hundo on bike parts, so I quit. I picked up a lot of scratches on the new paint too.
I spent about an hour cleaning my bike and then another half hour cleaning the driveway. I'll never race in muddy conditions again.
