Minute by Minute @ 12 hours of Temecula

11 am Saturday
Just got a call from Joe Pusl. There are at least 4 "Get Dirty" teams out on the course:

Four Man Team - Will S / Joe P / Geoff D / Peter P (Pitch hitting for a sick Mike W)
Two Man Team - Tony Breunig
Solo - The Tony B
Not Sure what Team - "The Moms" - Carrie & Shelly

On Will's team - Joe P went out first - Came back in 3rd place for his lap out of 19 team. Joe told me that Will had a blistering lap after him and Geoff is on the course now. Their goal is to do 13 laps in 12 hours - It sounds like the competition is greater this year and they are going to have to ride a perfect 12 hours to make their goal.

2 pm
Joe called again for an update - Will is on his second lap and is going like fire....

Will's first lap was 51 minutes, Joe 1st & 2nd laps were 54 & 53 - Joe told me that on the first lap he had
to do an extra parade lap....Peter & Geoff are doing 56 minutes.

They are in Second place behind the Intense Factory team. Intense has one guy that is in a league by himself doing laps in the high 40s. The rest of the intense team is more like Will and the boys. So right now they are about 10 min down.

So go to church early today and pray for a mechanical on the Intense team

5 pm
Update #3

As of 5pm Team Swamis Get Dirty team is tearing their hearts out, but they are down to Team Intense by 34 minutes. The times are coming down due to a course change (Someone got hurt on another team so they by passed part of the route). This could be to Team Get Dirty as they may be able to the
Optimistic 13th lap.
