Just some thoughts and experiences from a mountain bike endurance racer who likes to ride and race his single speed mountain bike a long long way on remote single track in the mountains and desert.

Finished!

Finished at 10:24pm!  Glad to be done.  Toughest race I have aver done by far.  Not sure where I ended up placing because it is not correct on the site right now.  My spot quit working toward the end and they were also going to edit times for the additional miles I rode by not taking the bipass by Breck.  I need some rest but I will make a detailed post about my race experience in the next couple of days.  Thanks for all the support!

Brutal climb

Came from way down there. Lots of tough climbing! I'm tired but things are going good still.

Rain

Rode in rain most of the afternoon and evening today. Cold!
Showed up in BV at 10pm and managed to score an old pizza they had sitting around. Then headed back out in the rain.

25 hrs into the race

Feeling good. Slept for just over 1:30. Super tough hike-a-bike last night! Off to BV today.
Yesterday there was a section of trail with a big climb that everyone upfront did but then they rerouted racers afterwards. I may have got passed there. Not sure but the race director said he was going to edit times for that at the end.
