Beck called it today.
Where its At! We got two flat tyres and Sean's alone!
Where its At! I rode two different bikes and Ty ate a scone!
Seemed like were were snake bit from the start.
First, Sean (who made his first HCD appearance in 2012), disappears right after we roll down Barton Creek. After the climb out, we stopped to wait for him. But he never materialized. Turns out the broken shoulder has given him the downhill yips. This is familiar to me. Hang in there Sean. While we were waiting, I realized that the di2 battery was low, leaving me only little ring in the front and the rear DR for another hundred or so shifts. Plus, I had some metal lodged in the back tyre. Sheesh.Hoodie audibled an adjusted dam loop, so we abandoned ship on the ride to Drip.
Hoofed it in the little ring back to the House. Hurried so as to minimize the group's wait. When we got back on the road, the crew was nowhere to be seen. Turns out Ty punctured. Bummah. They got back up to us a bit later, and we turned some clunky rotations around to the dam.
On the downhill, guess what? Ty disappears. Like a fighter platoon in the Bermuda Triangle, we had lost another one.So we hoofed it back up the dam hill to find Ty's flat #2, just as he was finishing his business. Double Bummah.
To make something meaningful out of the day, we detoured over to Jester. 3 of the guys (Ullrich, Ty and VJ) had yet to notch that stage for Inigo's Challenge, so Todd and I played cheerleader and waited for them at the bottom. Well done fellas.
Rest of the ride was pretty mellow, save for my self-inflicted thrashing up the hill to Bee Cave.RELEASE THE KRAKEN!! Got me a 3rd overall, mostly due to the sweet tailwind. And the fact that I had skipped Jester. And the monster wattage. ....
