A (Very Sad) Christmas Story

This entry is a contribution from Mike "Bike" Drost...my heart drops whenever I look at the photos. I'm posting this just to show you what kind of random stuff can happen when you're minding your own adventure racing business.

"At the end of every year I try and reflect on a lesson learned for that year. This years lesson learned is that when a carbon paddle touches the exposed battery posts of a marine battery (stored in theback of your SUV) a fire is sure to ensure. Add a GPS a few single blades and your entire wardrobe of winter fleece and gortex clothing for extra kindling. Tuck it all in a nicely packed jeep cherokee and break out the marshmallows. Merry Christmas to all. Mike :-)"
