This is the 1st 12 of the pre-ride of the course. 4 man team of Brandon Newcomer, Bill Wheeler, Anthony Thorton and myself called "The Trek Bike StoreWho's the Salsa Guy?". The 5th guy, Les Handy took us around the pre-ride loop. On the pre-ride, I took my time, dropped my chain several times and totally blew out the front shock. Kind of made for a bit more of tricky race day with a bum front suspension, but I still did okay. We finished a strong 2nd in the "Just for Fun" category.
