wet weekend of racing and training


So it was a fun weekend of riding in the best conditions that have been seen here in quite a while. It started off with rain all night Friday and then a race on Saturday. It was great conditions that made for an awesome race! The race went well with the rain holding off the whole duration of the race. It was a small pro field with only three of us there. On the second lap I finally got a bit of a gap and decided to make a run of it. I was able to win be 2 minutes by the end and give a great shake down to the new race machine! It was truly great and worked amazing! The wheels and bike just made it seem so effortless.

Sunday I decided to go ride at Vail after having lunch with my Grandpa for his birthday. I was able to get 2.5 hrs in with only minimal rain during the ride. There was only one puddle that really got in the way. I was just laughing the whole time in amazement of how great the conditions were considering all of the rain that we were getting.

All in all it was tons of fun and I wish that all had a great weeekend to! Now its time to get ready for my race this weekend!
