Wheels taken from Madera Crit Pit
Sat, 03/14/2009 - 9:13pm
I'm sure this was just someone grabbing the wrong wheels, thinking they were theirs. My wheels were taken from the pit today at the Madera Crit, sometime during or just after the 45/55+ race.
They were Mavic Aksyums. Front tire was red and black, rear tire was a black Ritchey Race Slick. Cassette was Shimano 10. Skewers were black Shimano XT skewers. Quite the unique set of wheels.
Oh, and yes, I did get a flat. I grabbed a teammate's wheel. One lap later, he flatted, so I stopped gave him his wheel back. I'm sure I'll be laughing about this someday. Maybe someday after my wheels are returned.
If you know of someone who accidentally grabbed someone else's wheels, I'd sure like to see them again.
Thanks,
Dylan
Big thanks to Richard for getting me my wheels back. This story still has an unhappy ending, as his wheels are still missing. To remind people:

C'mon people, let's get Richard his wheels back, shall we? I assume they walked away during the 45+/55+ race. We don't want to have to require valets for our pits. Let's all get back to racing and not having track down lost equipment!
So let's see if I have this straight:
DMac pops 'em,
Then Hillen swaps 'em.
But someone picks Wick's,
So Kim Wick nicks 'em.
Kim Wik,
Thanks for replying. It's a noble thing to do. It was the limerick that did it, right?
Sorry, I don't have any knowledge of your wheels. There were lots of sets of wheels around after my race, but I had no way of knowing which might belong to the person who had grabbed mine.
Cheers,
Dylan
Dylan, I ahave your wheels.... do you possibly mine.... Mavic Kysrium, SSC, polished aluminum, the tires are Vrederstien and we reddish in color. I went to the wheel pit and they were gone, I had a guy looking after them but he picked up yours.... Now I am trying to find my set. Have you heard if anyone has a new set of wheels that might mine..I will be at Landpark tomorrow....give me a call 925-719-3652
Oh wheels, I could never stay mad at you. Maybe if you were to show up in the pit at Land Park during the 3s race (3:30 start), we can get back together. I won't even ask who you've been with this week...
At Madera I pitched a mean fit,
I put my spare wheels in the pit,
Unattended they sat,
Of course I would flat,
Oh man, this ruined my crit
