The girls had just arrived at the site of the bike race after a 4 hour drive and began unloading their bikes. Lisa, Karen, Sue and Carrie were representing their school at the Wheeler Championship Race which was the qualifiers for the national colligate mountain biking championships. They were the underdogs but still thought they had a chance.
The girls had practiced hard this season and were expecting to do well and hoped to move on to the championships. They were all in tip top shape and had formed a tight friendship throughout the season supporting each other through thick and thin. Each was dedicated to the team but had her own unique personality. Lisa was the team captain and had a bit of a domineering personality. She had dark brown hair and was about 5' 5" tall. Sue was the shy one, a great rider with good endurance but never that outgoing and often kept to herself. She also had dark brown hair and was just a little taller than Lisa. Karen was a bundle of enthusiasm and the team cheerleader. She would never let anyone get down even when they were behind. She stood about 5' 3 and with dirt blonde hair. Carrie was the newest member of the team, only joining the team a month prior after one of the other girls dropped out due to an injury. She was also on the schools track team and probably in the best shape of any of the girls. She was a tall blonde at 5' 10" and had a killer figure from hours of distance running. She picked up the sport quickly and seemed to have that mental toughness that it took to be successful.
The race was run under the national biking association rules and the organizers had a reputation of running a tight event. The girls had checked in and were making their last minute checks of their bikes when Sue made an unfortunate discovery.
"How the hell could you forget it!?" Lisa screamed.
"I don't know. I always keep all my gear together and it's just not here." Sue responded.
"What's the matter?" Carrie asked, interested in what Lisa was yelling about.
"Sue here forgot her uniform."
"Oh shit."
"Don't worry. One of us must have an extra uniform." Karen answered being the eternal optimist.
So everyone searched their bags looking for a spare uniform but no one had one.
"Maybe they'll let you wear your warm-ups." Carrie answered looking for options.
"Lisa, why don't you explain it to the officials and see if it's ok with them?" Karen added.
"Oh man, we trained so hard for this and now we may not even be allowed to compete." Lisa complained.
"We'll think of something." Carrie added.
So the girls walled up to the officials' table and explained that one of their team members had forgotten her uniform and asked if she could wear her warm-ups. The head official was a big burly looking guy and he just looked at Lisa and laughed.
"If she's so stupid to forget her uniform why don't you just have her ride naked?" he barked.
"I'm sure that won't give them any unfair advantage that's for sure." one of the other officials laughed.
"Oh come on you can't be serious." Lisa said.
Just then Deborah, captain of their arch rival school and one of their biggest competitors came by.
"What' the matter, not going to be able to race today? Oh what a pity. We were looking forward beating your asses today." she said to Lisa and the girls in a sarcastic voice.
"Funny Deb. We'll see." Lisa yelled back.
Lisa went back to the big fat official and pleaded her case once again.
"Well, I'll tell you what. I'll make an exception for you but only if she rides naked. We need to get some interest back in this race somehow." the big mean official laughed.
Lisa pleaded again, hoping they change their minds with no luck.
"Damn it. Now what do we do?" Lisa said as the girls pondered their options.
"Oh come on Sue, maybe it wouldn't be that bad. Think of it as going to the beach." Carrie said trying to be encouraging.
"No way!! Besides I don't go nude at the beach like you." Sue shouted back referring to some past rumors that Carrie had done some nude sunbathing.
"I guess we can't race then." Lisa said in a disappointed voice.
"Sue, it won't be that bad. We'll all be there for you." Carried added.
"Well if it won't be that bad then why the hell don't you give me your uniform and you do it then!?" Sue shouted back.
"What?" Carrie said in shock.
"Carrie, that's a great idea. You have killer body. I'm sure no one would mind seeing it." Karen jumped in enthusiastically.
Lisa being focused only on the race shouted, "That might just work." not even thinking that one of their team might be doing the race in the nude.
"Oh man, oh man. You got to be kidding." Carrie answered a slight break in her voice.
"Come on. I thought you just said it wouldn't be that bad." Karen added.
Just realizing the consequences of her prior comments, Carrie became very quiet as a blush traversed her face.
"Let me make sure they'll let us do this." Lisa said with a new found smile on her face.
She explained her proposal to the head official and after seeing the tall blonde cowering in the group of girls he eagerly agreed.
"Ok, good news girls, they agreed. We can race!" Lisa yelled enthusiastically, "Thanks Carrie, you're a doll. We owe you."
As happy as the girls were, three anyway, I don't think any of them actually thought through what this meant. They were just caught up in the moment and happy to be able to compete. Carrie tried to put her best face forward but was not quite as enthusiastic.
The girls all headed over to get something to eat at the competitors table, getting some carbohydrates before the long race, except for Carrie who was too nervous to eat.
"Come on, you have to eat something, Carrie." Karen said.
"I'm sorry, I'm just too nervous. How am I going to do this? How am I supposed to do this with all these people looking at me, all of me and how am I going to ride that far with my bare bottom sitting on that seat?"
"Carrie, you just have to put the people out of you mind. Just focus on the race and you'll be fine."
The girls then went back to preparing their bikes and getting ready for the race. Lisa gave them a bit of a pep talk as they double checked everything.
"Ok Ladies, time to suit up." Lisa told the girls.
Carrie just looked up with a frown on her face as she handed Sue her uniform top and shorts. She grabbed the rest of her stuff and headed to the locker room with the rest.
"What are you going to do?" Sue asked.
"Well, get my shoes and change into my sweats I guess."
"You're so brave Carrie. I don't know how you do it." Sue told Carrie with the deepest of thanks.
"Well, I haven't done it yet." Carrie reminded her nervously.
