Best of Luck to I-500 participants

Post by WinnipegStPaul9 »

Wade, Joe and all the others I just want to wish you the best of luck. Remember one thing.....before you can finish first, you must first finish. That should be your goal and anything above that a bonus.

Best of luck to all participants. Ride safe and fast.

I wish I could be there, my heart sure is. I want to thank all of those who helped Joe and I two years ago, it was an unforgettable experience. Grumpy, Chris, Wade, Kieth, Chuck, and anyone I have not mentioned, you guys rocked! Joe and I could not have been more fortunate to have you guys as help.

I still have an axe to grind with that race, as you all know. Next year, I will not be in school, and the prospects look better.

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!! Ride em hard and get em across the finish! Look out for the spots on the trail where there are guys with cameras. SLOW DOWN! Usually means they are there waiting for a good wreck to snap some photos. GOOD LUCK AGAIN AND BE SAFE!
