The 25 Hours of Frog Hollow mountain bike relay is something that Merril looks forward to but to me just sounds like torture. It was cold and windy. The guys said it made it hard in some sections of the course.
We were there to see Merril take off.
And come back!
Merril was on a team with Logan P., Adam F., and Bob S. Merril did 5 laps total, Logan did 6, Bob did 5 and Adam did 3. Poor Adam. He fights with Crohn's disease and it makes it hard for him.
Max and I came back out for midnight pie! I forgot something I was supposed to bring for Merril and so I decided to jet home and get it. Blazing down the dirt road, I got a flat tire. I pretty much changed it myself. A guy that was a little high stopped and helped me tighten the lug nuts and tried to ask questions about where the dirt road went. His companion in the car was like, "Dude! We gotta go! We gotta go like now man!!" It was pretty comical. They weren't scary, just wasted. I told them the road was completely closed off for the race and they'd have to turn around. After the midnight tire change, I just drove back to the race and watched Merril come in. We chatted for a bit and then Maxine and I came home.
Merril stayed and slept and raced. Fun times.
