Peanut Butter Festival

With Hannah Brewer and Rich Allen's Ride the Wilds Series Podiums on the line, Mike Maher, Ray Sielski, Henry Dimmick, and Steve Brewer circled thier wagons and headed to the Peanut Butter Festival MTB race...the final race in the 2012 summer series.

Steve, Ag3r's only rider in the EXPERT division...

...missed a turn while bombing down a hill, and after climbing back up from the bottom, still ended up in 10th place...an impressive ride for a ROADIE :)

The rest of us raced in the Sport Division. Some, like Richy & Hannah were racing for final Series positions, and others, like Ray, Mike and Henry, were in the race for emotional support...

...for race support...

and as sacrificial lambs in the event one of the podium contenders needed "mechanical support"!!!



In the end, it all worked out GREAT!

Hannah took 1st Place in the Women's Race...26th Place Overall Sport...

...and 1st Place in the 2012 Ride the Wilds Women's Series...

...which made her quite happy...

...which made Steve happy too...

...and was something for SISTERS to celebrate ...with Ice Cream :)

Richy took 3rd Place in the Master's 50-59 Race...15th Place Overall Sport....

...and 3rd Place in the Master's 50-59 Sport Series...

...and WAS happy too, despite his podium photo (above)...!!!

Sometimes, he can be such a............(!)

Mike got lost, but finished in 7th Place in Sport 40-49 ... and 30th Place Overall Sport,

Henry had a flat tire, and finished in 7th Place Sport 50-59 ... 39th Place Overall Sport,

Ray finished in 9th Place of the Sport 50-59 ... and 59th Place Overall Sport.

Afterwards, we all headed into town to enjoy the Peanut Butter Festival :)
