Back Home

A few days ago i took the new ride on some dirt roads and trails. It rips no doubt, although my skills are definitely lacking still. I raced twice this weekend. Saturday was a hill climb. It went ok, didn't know the climb but had good legs, finished with too much left but nonetheless it was nice feeling good. Sunday was the Koppenberg. Thinking Redlands was going on and all the big tymers in the PRB were gone racing, I thought it might be a hard, but relatively laid back race.....NOT TO BE. In typical Boulder fashion we had some real pros show up. J Donald, T Phinney, Phill Z, ivan stevic....of course he's only B world champion....please. So it ended up being roughly 75 starters. It was really hard, way harder than i wanted it to be. I got a good workout in and thats about all i needed. I'll say this much though, roadies cannot ride dirt roads to save their life, crashes everywhere...of course i wear no gloves cause thats just how i roll. The season is starting to ramp up regardless of whether im ready or not. From here on out its racing every weekend until june. Fruita next weekend for the first MSC then to monterey to get my fix of freezing rain and mud...YAY.


Hopefully i get some more of this before next race. Although it snowed all this morning......SUCKS!
