Well Fans it is with a sad heart that I’m a writin’ this out. In the month of August two of our racin’ friends down in Mexico passed away. Efren from the LaPressa team an’ Keke from the Rancho Veijo team. It was one of the hottest day we have had in quite some time. Efren was pre runnin’ the track at Rancho Veijo when he got separated from his friend’s an’ got lost. The heat exhaustion was determined to be the cause of his passin’ away. The same thing happenin’ in Tecate for Keke, ‘cept he was racin an’ got heat exhaustion. He passed away before emergency help could stabilize him. I knew both of these fine people it is with sadness that I’m a writin’ these lines.
I am writin’ ta tell all the folks that if’n’ you go a ridin’ out in the hottest time of the day to get acclimated to the weather take a Camel-Back an’ extra water. Did I mention that you should take extra water. Take extra water.
We aren’t like the pro’s we see on the tube that only have one little bottle. We don’t see the rest of the picture, there is huge contingency’s of support that we never see.
But seriously folks, regular people need to be self sufficient. In the hot weather put up with extra weight of a coulpa bottle ‘er so. It’ll make the difference. Better to have an’ not need than to need an’ not have.
Once again my condolences to the family of these fine young men who passed away. Hoserr
