 I guess it should have been obvious in hindsight that this wasn't gonna go well, but that was the last time I hitched a ride with those particular guys. I occasionally had to hitch rides after that, but I avoided those guys. They were funny, I'll give them that, and I had some good laughs with them, but if I needed to be serious and focus on the race, those were not the guys to be around. The following night, I guess, the night after the race, it must have been Friday night or even Saturday night, so I stayed the whole weekend.
