After Math

Just a quick post before I head down the highway towards home. My Old Pueblo race was excellent. I achieved my goal of 13 laps, just over 200 miles. The results on the web site said that my partner did a lap, but she wasn't here.

I was called up to take the 5th place trophy for co-ed duo, but I forfeited since it was against the rules to compete in duo without having a partner do any laps. It would have been 8th place if I'd been in men's solo as I wanted to.

I'm tired and sore of course, but very content. Talk to y'all soon.

Tom P the tired.

Congratulations, Tom! What a great ride, very impressive! Patti and I were wondering why your partner only did one lap, now we know she didn't do any or them. Rest up and let's get together soon!

Hey Tom,

Great job Tom! I don't know how anyonoe does 13 laps. Amazing.

I thought I'd run into you and say hi but only saw you when they called your name for the award. ftr:I was the guy that went to Salida and got rained out 2 summers ago after riding the Crest.
I must admit though, I was pretty busy racking up 4 laps as well;-) Now that I live in tucson to avoid the rain and snow of Upstate NY, maybe I'll run into you in the Ritas in March.

Congratulation Tom!
I stopped by on Sunday but there were like a bazillion white trucks and campers so I didn't find ya...
Man it was cold here in Tucson Saturday night, I could see my breath by 9pm and Willow Springs is like 1500' higher. I imagine a lot of riders froze their butts off.
