You can give it to me in Idaho. You *are* > going aren't you? My number is now 177. I got too pissed off at being stuck behind all the slow A riders that wouldn't let me by at last week's hare scramble, and will now be riding the AA class. (I'm not kidding either...) It's a long story, but I went into the first corner in 4th place, only to have the guy in front of me go down. I was passed by at least 5 riders in my class. I was stuck behind the slowest of them for over 4 laps. Super tight trees followed by VERY dusty open sections (wash, rinse, repeat) isn't condusive to passing, especially when I'm such a wuss... Managed a 4th place finish, but, I'm still pissed. And I don't get pissed easily... > > > Hope you gents have a great 4th o July weekend.

And I don't get pissed easily... I was about to suggest you let me follow you around a day or so to pick up a few things. I'm about to give the B class a try when I get back from Idaho. Then, I thought better of it. I'm using Eric's bike. I'm sure I'd bash it up just trying to see my way through the dust. > > > Hope you gents have a great 4th o July weekend.
