HERE'S YOUR UPDATE!
Yeah-Yeah-Yeah. It’s been busy and we’ve fallen down on the job. Should we be riding or writing?? We chose to ride, but now that there’s a spare minute, here’s the update.
Back on September 18th we traveled to Jackson, GA to participate in the 6hrs of Dauset. “We” translates into 10 of us. That’s right TEN of us. It was actually ELEVEN, but Suzy was working the event rather than racing. Since there were sooooooo many of us there, we’ll keep this short. If you want details ask one of the ELEVEN people who were there with SGC.
Josh is a freak and finished 2nd because he was being nice. DeAnna finished 7th in the women’s field in her first endurance race. Mitch did incredibly good in his first MTB race . . . ever. Stephen had his best race of the year. Clark had a blowout which didn’t allow him much race time but got some good hang time. There were two bees and one elephant man. The food for the weekend was great. The beer was better. We gave out the 1st Annual SGC awards post-race. It was a year in the making, but didn’t disappoint.
This past weekend, for one reason or another, several of us headed to the mountains. I’ll keep it short, but for the whole story ask someone involved.
• Brand new camper blows a tire and does damage to camper.
• Coyote decides to watch tire be changed.
• Set up camp at 3:00 am.
• Work on bike at 7:00 am.
• Start race at 10:00 am.
• Try to quit at 2:30 pm but Vonnie won’t let me.
• Josh finishes 2nd in solo expert class on his OLD bike (another story all together).
• Bill finishes 1st in solo Clydesdale on his NEW bike (no story needed).
Our honorary SGC member David Muse not only finished 2nd on the day, but finished 1st overall for the series and will now throw his hat in the ring with the Experts next year. ROCK’ON DAVE!
Next Up: Tumbling Creek MTB Rumble; October 30th

The SHORT and SKINNY:
It was HOT! There was a fence . . . I hit the fence. Florida racers drink too much red bull. FAST from the gun. Did I mention it was HOT? The pump track was fun by the 3rd lap. Roots still suck, especially going uphill.
VMAC - 9th XC-SS
SteveO - 19th XC-1
