Jason and Mike from Killjoy won the six hour duo men's race. Congrats to them! Kenny (race director) came over to them after the race and asked who it was that had such fast lap times. Mike's lap times were amongst the fastest for the day for the 6 and 12 hour course.
Julie and Audrey of Half Acre took second place in the women's 4 person team category, and they (along with teammate Amanda) will get first overall in the series. Congrats! Happy Birthday to Audrey - Saturday was her birthday!
I sat out the race, having twisted my ankle in the dark on a pothole previously and having tweaked some body parts when I landed. I had hoped to do this race but it was not meant to be.
I got very lucky in the raffle. Well, not hydraulic brakes lucky, but some good stuff that I can use. They pulled out three of my tickets! I got some handlebar grips (I need some), a big canister of energy drink in a flavor I like, and a neat little gift pack from Planet Bike with a hat, co2 cartridge and filler, seat pack, and tire irons. Thanks to the sponsors who donated the items.
There was a good turnout and it was nice to see a bunch of familiar peeps there racing and hanging out. My teammates DJ and Wendy and their friend Mike B. showed up unexpectedly for a ride, not realizing the WEMS race was that day.
Sunday was the Dekalb cross race. More on that later. I've spent hours looking through a bunch of my not-so-great pics from the cross race and now I'm falling asleep - it's late Sunday night. Dekalb cross pics can be found here. They are kind of hit or miss. It got very overcast and rained for part of the day. I posted the whole batch, of which there are many, thinking people would enjoy seeing themselves even if the photo quality is so-so.
John Muir pics, of which there are just a few, can be found here.

oops, I think I thought you got first because we were talking about you getting first overall. I should have checked before I posted. I'll change it.
So, congrats on winning the series!
