Mountian bike racing is hard


Mountain bike racing is hard! The rattling creek 50 was rattling! My back still hurts. The race went well I end up 5th. The course was hard it started with a 20 min climb and that was the easy part. The singletrack was like WV super technical and rough. Race time was about 5hrs. Next race is Manitoc as long as it not wet. See you there.

Tandems and Mountian Bikes

Tandems and moutian bikes, what do they having common? They are tools to get in shape for cross, and they are fun to ride. Samantha and Matt were my partners and we won 2 national Tandem Time championships last weekend! Stars and Bars! This weekend I will hit up my first MTB race the Rattling Creek 50 in Pa. All of this is on the plan for cross. Cross practice starts soon so get ready to ride.

alive


Yes, I am still alive and blogging. Been racing and gettin ready for the best time of year Cross! I am at the end of Base 3 for cx season. That means some MTB rides to hone the handling skills and some big endurance rides sprinkled in with the local races. Its been going super. The rubber city meltdown crit was cool and ended up 3rd and the team raced super. Zoar was epic with the rain and I won the field sprint for the last money spot. The pic is cool. I was grunting it out! Funny what you do for 7th.
