The SHT compound
The workshop/repair area. I worked on 18 bikes for 13 hours. Don't be fooled, endurance races are also a test of endurance, alertness, and quickness for mechanics
Aligning derailleur hangers, adjust gears, wipe chain-lube chain-wipe again, changing gear ratios, flat repairs, properly inflating tires to racer's preferred psi, rotor truing, and wheel truing were all apart of the game
Only Pros get umbrellas in the start line.
The SHT and C3 on the front
Farm owner's ringing the bell to start the race
The race has started!!! So, I'm hard at work?
I was actually very busy. In addition to my repair stand and beers, these are the tools I used the most.
Rick had to go soo bad, he could no longer hold it!

This is what we woke up to Sunday morning. Tearing down the compound was real fun.
The 2008 Baker's Dozen was a great time. I Would like to thank all the racer's I worked for. You guys really showed Virginia what our Delaware cycling community is made of! This weekend was a true test of my mechanical abilities under extreme pressure. Thank you SHT & C3 racers, for pushing me to the edge! I had a blast.

mike,
you were so clutch, thank you so much for all of your work and busting your ass, so we could kill ourselves, and NOT worry about the bikes working.
none of this would have worked out with out your support.
mucho respect.

I am almost sort of sad that we weren't there to help take the compound down on Sunday in the rain - almost! Great to meet you and thanks for all of your hard work and bitchin tunes.
Im pretty jealous that you are rocking the mustache. mine comes and goes...
