Then it started to rain and the rain actually made it a easier 'cause then it made that gumbo not 10 heavy. It was just kind of slol'PY then and you could just ride through it." Asked if the rain and mud presented any special problems, Stacy replied,' "It was really cold. Jt was really weird, you know; it's raining up in the mountains and there's nothiIIg down here. You ride in it all day long up there and it was really a drag. "But the trails didn't really get as bad as I thought it would get. I thought maybe it would deteriorate a little bit more, but it wasn't that bad, you could make it. There were some real slick spots, but my bike ran J(OOli, and I didn't really have any problems. . There wasn't that many guys on the trail (today);' though; maybe that helped."
