I went to my first bike race of the season today, and watched Jim woosh around for 44 miles in the rain and the cold and the muck. It was fun! I didn't see him when he crossed the finish line, and afterwards it was very obvious why I didn't recognize him:
He was coated in mud! (Even his glasses, which he promptly removed, of course.)
I asked our friend Missy to take a photo of me & the Muddy Mountain Man Racer, and this is what happened....
Oh, ick!
Here's Jim & his buddy Michael after the race:
We had a fun day, though, and we'll be doing it again next week!
