Either way, I was looking forward to that ride, but I wasn't disappointed by Steffan. :)Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064754360254096215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-91972888311233527902009-05-06T12:36:00.000-04:002009-05-06T12:36:00.000-04:00Adele> Actually, Rafalca didn't qualify for...Adele> Actually, Rafalca didn't qualify for the freestyle (there's a minimum score required).

But he did have a very nice ride. I had been looking forward to seeing Jan Ebling make it to the freestyle, Rafalca was excused I heard for lameness (I was only able to attend Saturday's events). Over all it was a good ride for many of the riders. :)Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064754360254096215noreply@blogger.com
