24hr. Mt. Bike Race Review

Meet Team Crash!

Adam Welch, Drue Wolfe, Abe Miller, Lucas Bair ...

Well the pain and agony is over for this year! I am not sure why I chose to do this again to my body this year .... it takes about 48 hours to recover from a 24 hr. Mt. Bike race... but I guess it was for the fun and fellowship of hanging with these guys and there families!

Well we had really good weather this year for the race. No Rain!! so that made the course really fast! sometimes to fast for me ... which made it easy for me to well wreck on the down hills ... I only had a couple of really good ones ... so that isnt to bad.


The most challenging part of the race for me is when about a quarter of the way in on my third lap my biking shoe decided to explode on me. so as to not let my teamates down on this lap I kept going! So I finished that lap in my stocking foot. here's a picture of my shoe! donations for a new pair of shoes will be accepted! :)


Well this year we didnt have anyone get sick so we were able to stay through the whole night and race through the morning ... well I guess I have to tell the truth here ... the other 3 guys raced through the morning ... I only went 4 laps which took me into the early morning hours of 12:30am ... Lucas did the most with 7 laps and Abe and Adam did 6 each. I just couldnt get my body to physically do it Sunday morning! I was exhusted and cramping pretty good!

Well we did do better this year than last ... I think we finished 8th out 16 Four Man Teams!

I am still undecided about next years race .... at this point I would say "no way jose" .... but you never know once next summer gets here!

Thanks to all of those that came out and supported us ... especially Abe's Mom and Dad who came down from Wisconsin!

Well I think that brings you all up to date! Check out all the photos on www.druewolfe.com ... later on ...
