weeks of planning and the day is here ... it was bike race day !! Yesterday in the late afternoon, Homar and all his club kids and family memebers showed up !! I offered the Copa Cabana since they were planning on camping. They had air matteresses and blankets and were good to go !! They liked it so much that they want to come back and spend 2 days vacationing - Tues and Wed :))
SIX la bocana kids won first place including Armando's kid. Armando was worried about letting him go but in the end he did ... Armando said he prayed and talked to God about it during mass. And God said, let him be a kid and race even tho he had open heart surgery 2 months ago. Well, he won !!! But he forgot to call his dad so he could be there when he got his reconocimento and bag of candy.
I cleaned as the day went on and I must say, at the end of the day - there was not ONE piece of trash ont he ground...to be honest...the cancha or town swaure was dirtier when we got there than when we left.
Int he end - everyone everyone everyone had a wonderful time. For the kids, it is a huge honor to win. They runt hat race as if their life depended on it. too bad we lose that "ganas" as we grow older. If we faced our marriages and work with the same ganas ... I personally think we would all be much happier and the world would be a much better place.
Their were about 3 people who had serious leg muscle cramps .... scary to see...the biker goes straight down onto the ground and writhes in agony. Horrible to watch. We have to concentrate on warming up - I think I have to become more educated on sports preparation.
Our team did well. Chuey came and presented the diplomas and candy. Delegado was 2nd and Yolie gave 3rd place awards. All good :)
tomorrow we head for Mulege to see Lindsay and Toners. On the way, we stop in Santa Rosalia to see the crooked accountant who took our money and never did the paperwork for our business. Les had a gut feeling from the getgo. Don't even remember how we got this person's name, but I certainly wish we had never met him or given him our money !!!
THANKS NOMADS. THANKS COOP. THANKS ARMANDO. THANKS KARININA. THANKS BLACK MOUNTAIN BICYCLES. THANKS LES. THANKS COOP IN PUNTA ABREOJOS. THANKS DOUG AND KAREN IN LA JOLLA. THANKS MOM, CHRIS AND MAUREEN ... THIS TIME MY WHOLE FAMILY DID A LITTLE TO HELP MAKE THIS DAY HAPPEN.
