Before the race we encouraged spectators to try out the Tadpole.
|
|
|
|
|
And we gave rides on Frogasaurus Rex.
|
|
|
|
Fixing the flat tire. The folks at this checkpoint lent us the ammo box that Rex is propped onto. That wheel only looks bent.
|
|
|
The red duct tape on the tube is to protect the tire from some wet glue.

Kissing the frog. This girl was very squeamish about kissing the frog. She only did it because her parents wouldn't let her ride unless she did.

Oregon Groan had to do repairs in the mud.

David is repairing my side's cleats after they broke catestrophically in the mud. That took us thru the sand without any trouble.
|
|
Wild Ride broke down in the mud. The drive train just wasn't strong enough.
|
|
Das Boot in the mud. I didn't catch the most dramatic moment when they did a wheelie trying to get out of the pit. It took a few tries before they succeeded.

After the race we resumed giving rides on Frogasaurus Rex.
|
|
|
|
And we again let the audience take the Tadpole for rides.
|
|
|
This girl is barely long enough to reach the pedals. But she wanted to ride it a lot.

|
Peter, of Kinetic Choo Choo, brought a trike he made. Here a spectator is riding it.
|
|
|
We got the Dancing Grebes award for doing the most splashing in the lake. All the trophies were very nice. We love ours.
|
This little girl is much too small to reach the pedals. But she wasn't going to let that stop her!
|
|
|
The next day David and Dave took Rex out onto the lake for a training run.
