Get ready for those 50mph winds this afternoon, could turn I-84 into a parking lot if there's enough rain. Hope you're racing in the morning!

Rain didn't even really start in ernest till my race.. Course was mostly dry actually (wet,but not mud) till the last lap - and suddenly half the course became a literal flowing freaking creek, up to 1' deep in a couple spots. Man dudes racing in the afternoon are gonna be doing a lot of wading

You race?

Pic is from men's 4 in the AM before it got gnar

Welp.. Uploads failed. I'll link later

Wow not too bad considering last night. Not counting that last lap of course.

I've got a broken collarbone from Barlow a few weeks back so my season ended then unfortunately.

Moar mud Sunday



My homeboy shooting off the start line like a bullet... Won the Men's 3 both days on that flat bar single speed Bianchi (racing against gears). He'll be racing the 2s next weekend.



On the drops, white bar tape, white rims... easy to spot out there.

4th in the Men's 5s both days for me. And both days, never even laid eyes on the three guys in front of me. Really hoping to get the callup next race, so I don't have to battle past 50 guys to find them.. I don't really understand how the points work in this series.. I might actually get catted up for next race and languish mid-pack with the 4s anyway

Nice job! No call up is rough. With those results you should be good for the next races though. It was kinda nutty out there.

short family gravel ride in the SM Mountains

Not sure how much my kid liked the bumps and vibration. Maybe he's a roadie.

I commute home from Carlsbad to San Marcos, California and I found this 2-ish mile long trail than runs in a small canyon! Varying terrain from sandy to packed dirt to crushed stone varying in size from 1" to 6". I really love how the WTB Nano's handle it all!
