Breck Epic Stage 3

I’m le tired.

No rain.  No shit.

The people in the following photo looked stupid.
As such, they have been removed.

What remains is the view from 12,100′.

In bigger news:  Stage Three 2012 saw the successful completion of Broke Hip Mountain.

In a moment of fleeting honesty, I will admit, it wasn’t all and entirely intentional.

As the deathy black gulch approached with near lightening speed, I veered slightly to the left.
In an attempt to scrub speed.
Evaluate.
Dismount.

Then.
Gravity took hold.
Sucking me head long into.
Nothing.

It wasn’t anything.

As I descended and plucked away at the (more) pokey folk (who just happened past whilst I waited for my partner to change his tire) I reflected, then concluded, I’m embarrassed for my hip.
That it was such a pussy.

While Stage Three was littered with DICKY failures (flat – sidewall rip. flat – pinch, crank ejection, generally piss-shit attitude) I managed to contain the TEAM in DUO and pull us in for another hard fought second place.

Photoshoppe to follow.

We managed to hold the three day cumulative deficit to 5 hours…exactly where we want them.
