Brazil still?
No word on whether or not Sam Jurekavic made it out of Sal Paolo or not today. I am ringing Cramer as we type. .....
He apparently lost his pass port after our first flight with TAM airlines. That stands for teach all mountainbikers not to fly with this airline. They filled up on gas pick up a full load of passengers and even had a cleaning crew buz threw on our 10 min stop. The however realized that 10,000 gallons of fuel would put them over weight so they took all of our bikes and gear off the friggen plane in some strange airport!! They unloaded our bikes and luggage at our airport (bus stop) along the way that was not even listed on our itinerary. ?? I am screwed. I am going to keep my eyes on e-bay for my stuff.
Good thing the bike was treks and not mine anyway. :) Oh well at least I am home in Virginia.
So after our Columbian ass woopen it was confirmed that we are just on a off season points gather mission. That part was certainly a success. I think our USA ranking is up to 4 in the WORLD. Also hats off to Marry Mac for winning the big Pan-Am title. Nice. In addition to the chance to see another part of the World we also had the chance for some good Brazilian food and a few beers on the beach. The wear and effect of the whirlwind season was evident in our relief the last race for this years points had come and gone. Next years first race will likely be the same as we left off. Pan-Am champs will be in march in Argentina except this time will be good a recharged for it.
Later peeps.. good luck Sam.
Jeremiah.
