As I explained, this is my second 24 Hours at Big Bear race. If you look at last year's results, you will see Axel Folly and the Mullets with Lap 5 lasting 3:58 minutes. Upon further review, please note there are NO times longer. I have the absolute longest lap from last year. Let me explain. About 3 miles from the starting line, there is a rock shaped like a turtle shell about 2 feet across. 3 top 4 inches to the right of the rock is a second rock that looks like a knife hand or karate chop, sticking straight up in the air. I slid off of the top of the turtle shell and right into the knife hand and tore off the bike's derailer and broke the chain. I also had a rear flat tire. I was unsure if I could leave the course and return, so I ziptied my bike together, hiked with the bike back to the start finish line and was told I could leave the course, fix the bike and return, I just could not advance while off the course. In other words, if I left at mile 3 I could not reenter and mile 5 and move on. |
