ericwlewis Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 I know it's not a new baby or anything but...after many tries since 1995 I have finally won a mountain bike race. To top it off, I was wearing my custom made Watson Home Inspections jersey. Click to Enlarge 36.37 KB Click to Enlarge 48.5 KB Click to Enlarge 38.41 KB
Mike Lamb Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Congrats. Save me some advertising space on your next race. Maybe on your sleeve.
kurt Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 Way cool. What was it, and overnight race or something?
John Kogel Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 That one guy isn't even dirty, but then, he only took third, no wonder. Way to go, Eric.
hausdok Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 Way Kewl, Duuuuuude! ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
ericwlewis Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Posted September 2, 2012 Way cool. What was it, and overnight race or something? It was 2 laps of a closed 6.5mile singletrack course (hiking type trail) night race that began after dark. My category was limited to singlespeed bikes only and open to all ages. At 48 it felt good to win over mostly 20 and 30 somethings [:-thumbu] Next weekend my 21yr old daughter and I are enduring a 24hr mt bike race together, then two weeks later we are relay racing a different 24hr mt bike race. Add in camping and this is my favorite time of year []
Chad Fabry Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 That's pretty awesome, Eric. Good job!
randynavarro Posted September 3, 2012 Report Posted September 3, 2012 Excellent job, Eric. You're breaking the stereotype of the home inspector being old, crotchety, and out of shape!
ericwlewis Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Posted September 25, 2012 amazingly I added a second place this past weekend in a 24hr mountain bike race. I sponsored 3 riders including myself and 2 of us finished 2nd in our divisions! I will keep trying to get the word out that HI's aren't fat and crotchety!
