When I took part in my first time-bike race, I placed a modest thirteenth. Bad luck, some would say, but I was only 18, and as it was only my first race among the veterans of this type of racing, I thought the result was quite formidable.
As there have been countless reports and live broadcasts about time-bike racing, I suspect that quite a lot is known about it, so I won't dwell on it. Instead, I will say a few things about the behind-the-scenes aspects of these races that are less well known to the general public, but which are, after all, part of their very substance.
As is well known, all racing time-bikes are fitted with a standard 200 horsepower chronowatt generator, so in principle all competitors should be able to go the same distance in time. It's the fact that they don't that gives these races their charm and makes them watched by millions of fans.
Once launched into the race, a competitor has to face the currents of time that in a normal and natural passage of time are normally not felt, but when you cross backwards time, you hit them like a wall if you don't dodge them in time. The comparison with the wall is perhaps a little forced and I think it would be more appropriate to say that it is a wall with a certain elasticity which, even if it doesn't prevent you from passing, slows down your speed. That's really what the mastery of each racer is all about, getting around these elastic and treacherous temporal fog leaks that, if you're not careful, can stop you altogether or leave you going only a few hundred years in the past.
Once the competitor reaches the limit in the past, he pulls out his pistol and fires the radioactive marker into the famous Yorkshire granite cliff that has remained unchanged for tens of millions of years. That's why all the competitors, and not just them, call it the Target Rock.
On their return, the judging panel extracts each competitor's radioactive stove and, according to the degree of radioactive decay of the event, determines the ranking.
As I said, in the first race I took an honorable thirteenth place, although, to be honest, I wasn't hoping for that either. I say this because just before my temporary engine choked and misfired, I saw around the famous granite cliff a couple of people who, although they looked quite primitive, were human, so I couldn't have gotten too far. As time strained its powers behind me to pull me back to the present, I raised my pistol and fired at the rock, an instant before I was jerked forcefully back to the present.
I felt a powerful shock, and had I not been forewarned by his brutality, I might have dropped the pistol from my hand. But so I held it tightly, and it was not until I turned around that I plucked up the courage to holster it again.
While the commission was examining the radioactive samples, a man between two ages approached me, dark-haired and with an expressive and pleasant face.
"Well done, young man!" he said and held out his hand to congratulate me. "You did one of the most beautiful races."
I took a long look at him, to see if he was mocking me, but the man seemed sincere, so I replied:
"Beautiful my ass, sir. I don't think we've gone past ten thousand. Maybe not even that."
The man smiled and reassured me:
"On my first run, I only traveled far enough to meet my grandmother if she'd been around Target Rock."
We both laughed at his joke, he heartily and I more out of politeness. He looked familiar, but I didn't know where to take it, so, realizing my confusion, he introduced himself:
"I thought you knew me! I'm Steven McTroy, who has the pleasure of organizing these contests."
His photos littered the place, so surely I should have recognized him, but since I had entered the contest through an intermediary, I hadn't had a chance to speak to him in person until then.
I offered to apologize, but he stopped me with a gesture:
"That's not the case, young man. Here it's all about results and I'm telling you honestly that after a bit of training you'll be in first place. You'll have to get around the headwinds of the Middle Ages, which have used up almost half of your momentum. If you make time, we'll study the race charts later."
I agreed enthusiastically. Listen to him, if only I'd made time for that!
That little bit of training McTroy was talking about so I could take first place took no less than five years, but it was worth every moment I spent there. At some point I got to feel the currents of time, for I can't find another word for it, so I got further than any other competitor, even to where the Target Rock hadn't even appeared yet, and the Jury had to find other ways of dating it. Anyway, we got as far as sixty-five million years ago and I was able to confirm to the scientists that the extinction of the dinosaurs was due to a combination of factors, the most important of which was an asteroid collision with the Earth. What they found most astonishing of all the data I brought back was the hint that it wasn't a collision, but a fall. Our planet had captured the asteroid and it was only after many thousands of revolutions in an increasingly low orbit that it finally fell somewhere near Mexico. And they deduced from the photographs they brought back that the asteroid was not ten kilometers in diameter at all, as had been calculated, but almost double that.
But these were details of interest only to scientists. It was of little interest to me, to be honest, because I had become a champion in one of the most popular sports, with all that that entails: money, fame and women.
McTroy tried to temper me, but I was unstoppable, especially when I learned that my temporal abilities were due to genetic traits, so I wasn't going to deny myself anything that money and glory could give me.
Those at the Time Research Institute, where the first time generator had been discovered and developed, were relentless in their criticism of time-bike racing, arguing that it altered the intimate structure of time. Not to mention their criticism of me, personally, saying that it was not normal to hand over a chronogenerator to a man with no responsibility and a passion for partying and women.
In the end, it turned out that they were right, but it was a long time before I found that out and I wasn't too worried about the future, because I had just discovered a new game. The girls who proved more recalcitrant to my overtures and who were not even impressed by my champion status, I lured away with a trip to the Jurassic. Especially as I had made a kind of 'path' for myself, so I could get there with my eyes closed. I would plan my trips so that I would arrive just as the asteroid that was about to fall to Earth was passing overhead. Scientists were still arguing after I brought them pictures of it evolving low overhead and sending up a thick trail of black smoke. At one point they suspected me of faking the photos just to confuse them, but I really didn't care about them. I had perfected a repertoire of something like "you see what can happen at any time and in our times, so let's live our lives!". Most agreed, and although the trip into the past lasted no more than a few seconds, it seemed to impress them forever.
The asteroid passing tumultuously overhead, dinosaurs howling in despair in the distance as if sensing their doom - it was more than a young girl could bear, and as time tensed its muscles and dragged us into the present, they all abandoned themselves without hesitation into my arms.
The trouble began when I met Eliza, a tiny little bookworm, bespectacled and seemingly without any charm. Actually, I say "when I met her" wrong, because she was the one who sought me out after hearing from her classmates about my past excursions. She was a biology student, and had just learned in a class about the emergence of angiosperms, so she wanted to see for herself when flowering plants first appeared. In college she had been told that they appeared in the mid-Jurassic, but she suspected that they appeared a bit earlier, so... would I be so good as to transport her back to a hundred and twenty million years ago to convince her?
This girl must have mistaken me for a time taxi, or it wouldn't explain the confidence with which she approached me.
"My dear girl," I told her bluntly, "I don't know if your coworkers who sent you to me told you, but such a trip costs..."
I let the phrase float in the air, but she nodded delightedly and that's when I suspected one of her coworkers was trying to mock me.
'It's been explained to me,' she said, her glasses glittering with excitement. I haven't spent a penny of my scholarship for three months, just for this."
I gaped and cautiously looked around to see who had organized such a subtle prank on me, but I saw no one. And that's when it occurred to me to turn the prank on them and take the bookworm to see her flowers without any payment.
