Beat up at the Beat Down

It was a windy night at the beat down tonight and it was a small group at the beat down to. Maybe about 15 took off and I noticed that a few cars were gone when we finished and that only means some took a short cut as the wind was brutal and so was Fast guy Joe. He was sick so it was a slow beat up till the hammer dropped going over the Fox River. Then there was small groups all over the place. Joe and Nate were off the front and we never seen them again. Then there was a group of 5 trailing those 2 and then Todd, myself and a Alterra rider. We kept a good pace and finished a few tics behind the others but the wind sure made it a interesting ride tonight. But I am glad the rain finally stopped and we got out to open the lungs and legs after a few days of rest. Plus Nate needed a good ride before the race Sunday. We are leaving tomorrow for Rhinelander to get there and relax on Saturday morning instead of driving up and having travel legs before the pre ride. We are staying at the cabin so that will be nice and relaxing for sure. Taking Nate, Mitch, Riley, Myles and Dan ( Ryley's Dad ) so it should be a fun time for sure. Well time to get a big bowl of ice cream. Later..
