6 Hours of Power Rocked!

[K-Man]

I competed in the 6 Hours of Power (http://www.heartrateup.com/6hop2006/6hop2006.htm) this past weekend (July 9th, 2006) and wanted to say that the event was well organized and the course was a a blast to ride. Good people, good vibes all around, mon.

My teammate and I managed to finish mid-pack... 29 out of 50 teams, with 6 laps at 6 hrs and 7 minutes. I'm happy with that considering there were plenty of VERY FAST racers out there, and we're more of the occasional racer types.

Speaking of very fast, Ryan LaBar and Michael Browe of Dirt Rag were second in their age group, and had the third overall fastest team, being one of only 3 teams to finish with 8 laps (hopefully, I got all those stats right). The other 2 teams that completed 8 laps were our homeboys from Dirty Harry's bike shop in Verona, PA.

Here's a pic I snapped as our heroes collected their hardware:

Carol Clemens and Kerry Combs kicked ass in the female team category, with 6 laps at 6 hours 59 minutes:

...Good to see she's still spinning, and quite well at that.

I was wondering what happened to her when I saw in the latest Rag that her position has been filled by another.

I love Carrie. She's the bomb.

ok here is where our team name came from:

on the drive up to the race from pittsburgh we ran across this sign... it used to say: "enhance your performance with safty conformance" the 2 days part was unmodified.... we ran across an interesting truck driver who seemed confused to say the least... but he knew one thing that place wasnt safe!
