Come on guys...this is "mythic destiny" stuff!

So, I got word today that Billy and Paul wouldn't be departing on their 2000+ mile roadtrip (Madison to Ensenada...aka: the start point for the 1000 mile race) until the weekend prior to the race...something about "Paul not being able to get off work."

I think I saw this play out in a Kevin Costner movie:

"Here I am, ready to charge forth in pursuit of my mythic destiny, and I can't even get time off of work to do it." - Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner), Tin Cup

"A Most Increadible Adventure"

"YOU ARE ABOUT TO ENCOUNTER A MOST INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE.
You must be alert that there are many cows, calves, bulls, horses, and goats roaming freely on and around the course. All competitors are reminded that off-road racing is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or even death. Be advised that spectators on or near the racecourse may engage in malicious activities by building ramps, digging ditches, and placing objects on the course. Once the race starts – you’re on your own, or in other words, the lunatics will, indeed, be running the asylum.”

-Sal Fish, CEO of SCORE International, speaking about the Tecate Baja 1000

Research (Part II)

Gents - here's another must see: Charlie Boorman, a couple other privateers and a $100,000+ budget take on The Dakar...awesome story of bike preps, maintenance, and the day-to-day trials of the race...absolute wreckage!
