Gent's Race - Mighty Two

Darrel and Ian also rode the Gentlemen's Race on Sunday... here are some words from Ian (with a colour commentary from yours truly).

In their first unsanctioned race, Ian and Darrel chose the scenic route, riding the Lions Gate over the East Side and adding 7k to the ride. Ian learned some new skills for descending steep grades—too bad he didn't learn them before descending Indian River Road for the first time. His rear tire locked up—and surely his sphincter puckered as well—as he left a skid hole a fixie kid would be proud of on his tubular tire. Threadbare but still holding air, he managed to ride the thumper for another 60k without incident and they finished the race.

Two Mighty teams, two Mighty results. Good work boys!
