I had an awesome time today in the mountain bike race. I have done two mountain bike races now this summer and it is a great change of pace. The vibe from all the riders was awesome and the competion is never lacking here in D-Town. The trails were a blast and are so much different when you are racing on them and not just out cruising.

The legs felt really good today considering I did the just under five hours as hard as I could go in the passes yesterday. I still felt strong today and was able to hang with the leaders for most of the race. Todd Wells took off from the start and it was a bit to fast to early for me. I let the group go there knowing that I would be a bit tired. About halfway through the race my legs came around and I was going good on the climbs. I caught Ned Overend and a new German racer, Ben, and cruised with them for most of the race. Ned attacked and I followed. We were together at the top of the last climb and my descending just came apart. Ned got me by 10 seconds and I think we were still within a minute of Todd.

I think the form is coming on good just in time for Greenville. I hope so as it would be a great ending to a super fun season. I am looking foreword to this weekend. That’s all for now,
