Need new lights since winter is approaching.

Back on the east coast fora while. Need new lights now that its getting dark so early

wait

Just returned from racing in Crested Butte.  The weekend was great, except for the storms we had Saturday.   That just helped keep the dust down on Sunday.   After all the rains, Sunday morning was the Super-D race.  The first flat section became a nice mud bog, and one of the climbs was slicker then snot!   It was a really fun race and an excellent course.  
After some work on the bikes, the afternoon was time for the DH race.  This was again, an excellent course.  The first half of my DH run went great.  Hit my lines with more speed then I could have hoped for.  The second half...not so good!  I came into one of the last woods sections WAY TOO HOT.  After pin-balling through the trees, and coming off the bike, my race run was shot.  The rest of the course was filled with jumps so I just had fun from there through the finish line.  

It turned out to be a great weekend and with all the singletrack around CB, I get plenty of epic riding in.

Any time spent on the east coast will include Diablo Gravity series at Mountain Creek and Gravity East races the schedule permits

Copper Mtn this weekend!

Just got back from Angelfire racing the 12-hour endurance downhill.  It was such a fun event I figured I would start a blog.  My racing ended early due to sme brake problems so I only completed 13 runs.  The winners got 30 runs!!  I spent the rest of the day watching and cheering the other racer on.  SO MUCH fun. 



This event was probably the most fun and well organized event, so I will definitely be back next year.
