A few weeks ago I ran into Antonio, MTB extraordinaire. He handed me a flier for the
Knobby Tire Series at Bonelli Park. This is a three race series at Bonelli Park, June 16, 23 and 30. I decide what the heck, I'll do it. It was a good course, technical and with lots of climbs. Racing my 26" rigid MTB kicks my butt every time. At one point, I was so tired, I lost control on the decent and crashed. The bumps really wear me out!
Hey that's me on the far right.

Completely forgot about that, darn it. Good job picking up a placing.
Next week, Thursday at 6:00 pm, it starts all over again.
See you there.
Hello! I am a Antonio's Daughter. Nice blog! Thank you for posting the pictures! :]
Hey Crystal, it was nice meeting you and your family last Thursday.
I hope to see Antonio this coming Thursday.
Antonio is an animal on the trails!
