24 Hours of Hell in Paradise

We set up camp that evening with Ben and constructed HACC command central. Tarps? check. Generator? Check. Beer? Check. We were ready. Endured a nice rain and windstorm that night and helped our other team mates set up the when they pulled in the next morning. The HACC fielded two teams of 5 riders each, a men's and a co-ed team. At nine o'clock they started the race with a Le mans style run to your bike start and we were off. Our goals were no mechanical problems or bad crashes, and no missed handoffs. We attained these lofty goals although the definition of a bad crash was revised a few times.
