Gold on this red, white and blue.

Ok, almost every 4th of July my entire life has included swimming, shooting guns, fireworks, bbq food and family.

This year is different. In trying to improve my mountain bike racing ability, I decided to race today.

So, for your enjoyment, read this next part to the tune of "Straight outta Compton" by NWA.
You are now about to witness the strength of course knowledge.

Straight outta Daygo a crazy racer named Rowdy
riding a Giant Reign 1 with attitude
When a start is flagged off, I haul off
That's how this race is going out
You too boy if you wanna race with me
No way the competitions gonna catch me
Off this table top, that's how I'm jumpin
fast down the straighs with mah legs pumpin

You get the point. I also have a "Rowdy's got flats" song sung to the "Baby got back" song by Sir Mix-a-Lot.

I also was able to meet R. the guy who I helped the last race that broke his leg and was going into shock. And his mom's dog who was named Rowdy. (as usual. too many dogs and horses named Rowdy) This guy is a Pro and he also showed me a few lines through a few corners that helped me go faster. 1st place is 1st place, ya know?




Video will be up much later. I have a huge file from an onboard camera and it's taking Youtube like two hours to upload it.
