The event began just a short time ago. Here's section 1. Pat took a clean, as did most riders. A shuttle is needed to get out by the sea-side sections. That doesn't leave until 11 AM. It's cold and very windy today.

Here's a rare five on section 1. The rider is Luca Cotone from Italy.

Tech inspection. Everyone knows these men. Right?

Pat in section 15. After the first loop Pat's on a 16.

Pat again in 15.

FYI: David Chavez is handling the minder duties.

Pat was tied for first with Francesc Moret after the first loop. Then the kid lowered his score down to 12 on the second loop. He has one five as the chain fell off. All other Junior riders are still on the course. Everything is unofficial.

Sorry it isn't the best quality. Pat section 15
