Down to the Wire


One race to go and I've still got a chance at Top 3 despite two DNFs. The Jail Trail is probably my least favorite trail in the series: flat, tight and twisty. Pretty much a dirt crit/time trial. We'll see how it goes. Looks like Kevin has first locked up in 35-39. Matt has first locked up in 30-35, and Jamison is in a dogfight for 2nd. It would be sweet for Peace Coffee to nab the top two spots in both age groups. If that happens, beers are on me.

Did the R&G ride last night -- 30 miles of high-speed cruise intervals. Didn't have the power I had 2 months ago, but was able to hang just fine. Put the mtb skills to work when the pavement ended and everyone else hit the brakes. Rode the 1/2 mile gravel washboard section with another crafty veteran at full-speed while the rest of the pack tiptoed through. C'mon guys, it's only dirt and rocks...
