behind the pit lines

so, once heidi was finished with her race ron and i grabbed the bikes and headed in line to get a quick power wash. a soft spoken voice from behind us asked to move in front of us - he was in need of a quick wash since his rider was racing soon. we let him through and he went about his business. we were talking to each other when all of a sudden we both got blasted in the face by pressurized water. it took us both a few seconds to figure out what the hell was going on - turns out, the gentleman in front of use was using his hand to scrape off some mud while holding the sprayer in his other hand -  he wasn't paying attention to the sprayer direction and it was blasting us unbeknownst to him. the said gentleman? none other than legendary frame builder richard sachs.

a hazard of working in the pits i suppose... all i know is the unaffected behind us got a very big laugh out of it (as did we). i was adequately bundled so no harm no foul.

happy monday.
