FAT TIRE FRENZY

Man I can say enough good things about Kenny Palmer the man behind this event.This year he added a 5 hour category which attracted over 23 people! I opted out to little riding lately .I done the xc course sport category.The trails were tacky!Best I've seen em.I started hard leading out past by 1 Guy so I settled in 2nd place maintained it for a lap then swapped back and forth and ended up 3rd by less then a minute only about 2 outta first! It was hot and I was going as hard as I could that day.My good buddy Jeff wrecked hard on his 2 nd lap.landing on his knee.Ended up getting 6 stitches and a knee immobilizer.Good times.It was a great event and it continue s to evolve.Looking forward to Montvale I gotta score to settle.

Bradshaw Loop

Rode the Bradshaw loop from Patrick Henry and back.48 miles in less then 2 and a half hours.Averaged 19.1mph!It was me Gordon 29er crew Wadsworth, David and some dude named dick.We were rolling on the flats around30mph!It was a fast ride on the last pull back I hung with Gordon for a mile or so then he was gone.He's fast!I was a little dissatisfied with Davids performance. I had to wait on him repeatedly.Ever since he got back from his cruise he's been riding a little soft.It was nice to get in 48 miles well before noon.

BALLS TO THE WALL

Wednesday night ride from Cardinal bike (aka most awesome bike shop)Usually a low key ride so I rolled up on my Tricross geared 1×9 (44 x 11/34)ready to spin the legs out. First ride since MoM. Well about 10 people showed up 6 of em fast guys so the ride got cranked up to 11!Once I fell out of the draft it was Balls to the Wall spinning the 44 as fast as I could to catch back up. Once on Rutrough road it heated up again I hung in there felt okay for coming off a century and hitting the gym before hand.I got plenty of leftovers from my cookout this weekend to recover!Solid ride it was fun.But It was like bringing a knife to a gun show.Next time ill be prepared.
