This shirt just makes me smile! it’s so simple, yet so great. Great fuel that powers me and the Orbea/ Tuff Shed Team!
Powered me to a win at the Cat Claw Classic. A stop on the TMBRA schedule. A sweet course with multiple creek crossings that are followed by short steep climbs that rain a few days before filled up for a great feature. Creating a course that is much more challenging at times. I ran the the new Geax Mezcal 2.1 a super fast tire in the fields and hooked up even in the tough stuff this weekend. A new weapon! Geax also finished 2nd with Chris Drummond on Suguaros.
Wow! This is an amazing course that had me smiling most of the time…well at least till hour 4 or so. 7 laps, 73ish, 900+ft climbing a lap=6500 ouch!
Riding with Tinker a great experience. Thanks to Orbea/ Tuff Shed for the great support!
The season is on the way. Most of the Country is doing camps and running from snow, here in Texas it’s already time to race! While trying not to go too hard in the races and get in the valued base miles, I was able to take 2 wins already this season. Both races I started nice and steady coming from behind to win. In the 6 hr at Johnson Branch my fastest lap was the last lap, lap 9 at 5: 45min finishing in 6hr 25min. Then in the 53 miles of epic hill country racing of the Miles of Discomfort, I caught the leaders at mile 32. Then had a good battle with Scott Henry(Scott Bikes) to only win by 3 seconds.
This week we have the Chainring Massacre. A 91+ mile epic gravel road event! It’s going to hurt….
Then next week the TMBRA season opener at Warda, TX . Last year came to at close battle with 4 racers altogether with 1 mile to go..I won in a sprint. This year I haven’t done any interval work yet…so well see, it could be tough to repeat.
Here is cool pic I found from a Transylvania Epic write up in cyclingnews.com. This was one of my favorite stages(Rocky Queen Stage). I’m sporting the Super-D Jersey from winning stage 5 of the 7 day stage race. Good times!!!
My first ride over 2 hrs in a long time(4.5hrs) and my first trip to the gym in a year. Ouch… After a long cross season and walking pneumonia over the holidays keeping me from Nationals…
I was on a good road after getting more UCI points at Jingle cross and NBX in Providence. Then wrapping up the Texas season with a State Title. Im already fired up for next year!
I got some good eating done. As well as 3 mountain runs and some sweet Snowboarding back near my hometown at Snowshoe Mountain in West Virginia. Many good things to follow.
