2011 18 Hour Scouts Honor Race --5th

November 4th-5th at the Boy Scouts Camp in Maidens, VA.
Single Speed Division: rode 4 laps or ~36 miles.
First event on a 29er (Misfit Dissent 17").  Used Maxxis Ikons 2.2s
A lot of rain had left the course muddy and slippery.  Still tentative as my somewhat healed broken hand still hurt.  After taking several spills due to the slippery conditions I pulled out of the race as it just was not worth getting hurt.  Ended up 5th as I conceded 4th to Brent E. as we called it quits together and I let him come across the line ahead of me. ;)  Loved the event, would love to go back and give it a real go.
