yeah last weekend was our Downhill Race at Paris Mountain State Park... Saturday was getting the park ready, then a pre runs down the course, then it was over to Sunrfit Adventures to the Party.
Our beer sponsor hooked us up with 4 kegs of Peach Flavored beer...so after a keg of PBR and a half barrel of Blue Moon the Son of a Peach wasn't that bad... it was free beer, and i guess you can't complain about free beer... my piss did smell a hint of peach the next morning....
then after not being able to get the baseball field lights on (had the wrong combo for the door lock) we decided to park some vehicles around the pump track for some fun.
Five AM came waaaay to early to head back to get this Race going... There were several "oh Shit " moments. If you ever want to destroy the camaraderie of a bike club? put on a Downhill Race. Wow... Seriously i lost at least three years of my life expectancy. It was Chaos plain and simple. It's done, and i'm glad that it is.
Thanks to everyone that struggled to make this event work, the amount of volunteers; time and effort spent was amazing. Event sold out at 125 Riders, which was huge, it was a little more tan Jay's Shuttle Truck could handle.
