First time tie for me.....

Just seemed fitting. We were both there to have fun and did not make sense to either of us to continue driving each other into the ground!! I think Darrin and I were both thankful for the game off about half way through the second lap since we were blaming each other for the fast pace. They said we had 7 minutes after the first lap so we put it into cruise control and just enjoyed the ride. For those who have never been to Copper Harbor to ride the trails, they are just awesome!! Our course for the day had 4000 ft of climbing and it made for some fast and technical descents. In the end we decided to take the 26 inch wheel made out of birds eye maple, and laced to a shimano hub using copper spokes and hang it in 212 to let everyone see what we do. Will make for a good conversation piece and will hopefully get people interested. Here is the newspaper article: Mining Gazette

For the rest of the team, Michelle took 2nd in the one lap race by less than 60 seconds. Also Di took another win in the long race, with Todd (T.S.P.) taking 3rd and Scott fell to 7th after riding in 5th most of the day until flatting at the bottom of Paul's Plunge.
