Gordon, I missed you by seconds, I was coming up behind you when you rode away from Pentonville. Just couldn't quite get there quick enuff. How'd you do in the Trials??

I just wished I could have brought my Penton with me. Just got it finished late Weds. night, but couldn't get it started. Then again I should have with everybody up there. Nice to meet some fellow poggers.

Dan, I was wondering why I didn't see you.
I had a ball at VMD and met some nice people. Unfortunately, I had a bad trials. I ran the expert line, the Penton ran great and my scores were low. I got an (11) on the first loop, (0) on the second and (2), I think, on the 3rd. I had a pounding headache at the end of the 3rd loop and started late on the 4rth loop. When I got to section 3, I cleaned it. When the scorer went to punch my card .... NO CARD!!!! $&*# I had to go backwards on the loop, all the way to section 2 to find my card off to the side of the trail. By that time it was getting later and by the time I made it to section 6 they were already taking down the ribbons and split markers. I felt like crying .... OK, maybe I did. No one could hear me that far out in the woods anyhow. I couldn't beleive it. All that driving and anticipation, only to DNF. I beat myself up all the way home. But I still had a ball and can't wait till next year.
See you at Snoop's, in the spring.

Thank you for including my mug in with this honored group, Bob.  Great photo.  Looks like I just finished sneezing, or am constipated, or both.    What a wonderful three days spent at Pentonville.  You all are such great folks.  Thanks as always, to all who made it such a great home away from home.
