roll with it

a break in the action
There were days of playing tether ball in downhill bike helmets, riding horses around the pond, testin’ the Tracks with a legend and drinking lattes with my new neighbor. Memories of grilling out on 2nd Ave, swinging at Bread, shopping on the streets of Telluride and 2 dates with the spa.

RK and I pre ride the epic loop, Brian Head, UT

We raced up Hermosa on the Tuesday nighter and 4 so pro chicks showed up for the Thursday short track. The weekend Mountain States Cup brought on an early mechanical - a tough way to start the first of 3 grueling laps. Steep climbs were followed by Brian Head’s one big climb and one big epic loop. An early flat was only the beginning of troubles. By Friday I was in the dentist chair for an unplanned root canal. So much for the National finals at Aspen.
