You made the right call Chestnut Ridge was the longest downhill, and you are tired which makes it harder. Next year you will make it man.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984088219864211362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10601986.post-29564648615836159382007-09-07T07:16:00.000-05:002007-09-07T07:16:00.000-05:00Joel,you wanna tell me, MY post is lengthy?

I lost my front brake at Patapsco last week and was scared like a little bitch on some descents, so nice job. It was the bike, not you. So when you break up with the bike, you can't say, "It's not you, it's me".<BR/>I'll be joining you next year.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640440129838153608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10601986.post-12647604105139548082007-09-05T12:55:00.000-05:002007-09-05T12:55:00.000-05:00hey man it wasn't you it was your bike so don't ge...hey man it wasn't you it was your bike so don't get too down on the situation or feel embarrassed. Sometimes it just works out like that. If anything move on to some new challenges and when the time comes for next years' SM100 think back on this and use it as motivation. Good luck, hope you keep updating the blog, it can be damn entertaining at times.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040259414530353058noreply@blogger.com
