Showdown at Sugar Mtn. June 12th


NMBA Race at Sugar Mtn. in North Carolina. This is the Start for the Mens/Sport/30-39. Jeff's friend Ladd is in there somewhere - Just look for the guy in the helmet and cycling jersey. Yah-okay- sure, there he is... ummmm, or is that him, or no.... anyway..... and they are off...


Jeff is coming into the feed zone for some H2O after his first lap.

Cool shot of the water bottle hand-off. Good thing he is a lefty, right?


Here comes Ladd after his first lap... looking like he is definetly one of the first into the feedzone after lap #1 in his class. We shall see.....



Here's Ladd.... looking like a top 5 finish to me... and it is!!! Good Job, especially at this National event.



Yeah... here comes Jeff. Good Job on finishing considering the course was straight up a fireroad, 5 miles in fact. Then straight down the ski slop... which Jeff took head first over the handle bars, I think he said, 4x. Way to stick with it Jeff!!!!


Here is Jeff after a little cool down - showing us his injuries. Can you see the blood on his leg? Yuckie.


Ladd is pointing out all of the mud in his chain and clips. Obviously didn't seem to stop his killer finish.... still, suprised he didn't break his chain or worse.

Here is a close-up of the mud.
