Ramon's Bike - a little muddy

Adventure racing, muddy, teammates, good stuff :: I raced with Ramon in this 24 hour race. We had never met before. At the time, he was a charging, super fit, 16 year old from Tecate, Mexico. Me, I was a somewhat charging, 50 something year old from Arizona. When he met me, his face drooped a little, his spirit waning. 24 hours later, we crossed the finish line in First Place.
