There are no "native turtles" in Baker County according to the Sheriff who investigated the incident.<BR/><BR/>The Second Ascent rider, Andrew Rosette who was unfortunate enough to break his collarbone as a result of the turtle collision won the cat 3 race overall this year. I haven't heard if he dedicated the win to the turtle :)Deeper into the Pain Cavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555428095524692728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25342834.post-45152250717346253312007-07-03T07:40:00.000-07:002007-07-03T07:40:00.000-07:00The racing would've been different if the age grou...The racing would've been different if the age groups had raced separately, but I think it was good to start us all together.

A Second Ascent rider, I think. But the locals all claimed that the nearest turtles were in pet shops in Boise, so it's still a mystery. All the masters women started together yesterday, which I suppose you might think makes it easier for us older ones to just sit on the younger ones and get towed around--except that an older one crossed the line first.UltraMickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290716910861940433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25342834.post-68666589030435331132007-07-02T18:18:00.000-07:002007-07-02T18:18:00.000-07:00At last year's Elkhorn, there was a guy who went d...At last year's Elkhorn, there was a guy who went down pretty hard for hitting a turtle -- also the critter kind.<BR/><BR/>Nice work on the racing, too. Did they race all the masters' women together and then sort out the finishing order, or did you have a race of 6 ladies?<BR/><BR/>And, yes, it's nice out!Argentiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847757662873959267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25342834.post-52114958126046522112007-07-02T12:59:00.000-07:002007-07-02T12:59:00.000-07:00Apparently you haven't driven in Australia.
