This post is really late. Its from the first VaD race in Rocky Mount. I received persmission to copy/paste some of the photos taken of the race. Thought some were really cool.
Ron doing a little rafting. I should have tried it and gotten a good pic of not making it. That was some deep stuff. I didn't think anyone could make it through.
Ryan's second mtb race.
This guy is a beast. Keith Simpson of Covington. He was in an auto accident years ago and has a few dissabilities. But don't tell him that. He is sponsored by Virginia Prostetics and competes in a variety of athletic events. Notice his handlebars. Only one rear brake and both shifters on the same side. I have a hard enough time weaving thru the course with two good hands. He has just published a book and I hope to have a link to that soon.
Ryan "I wreck everytime I ride" Middleton. Seriously, he wrecks about 80% of the time. I don't know how he does it. so if yo see him on the course watch out. Here's the scope for that day. We go out for a short warmup on the course. We ride down the gravel section to the first river crossing. I get to the river and he is no where to be found. A couple of minutes later, he shows up covered in mud. WTH happened. He was going slow through the gravel and somehow fell.
His dad fixed him up with some caution tape to warn other riders during the Moutain Mama Century.
The future of El Toreo.
This guy thought you had to ride upstream for a while.
This one speaks for itself
