2nd Overall 2010 Intermountain Cup Ex-40+


There was 13 races in this series. Starting in March and ending in August. Starting in the deserts of southern Utah before heading north to the alpine ski resorts of northern Utah. The fastest field outside of the Pros leaves many reluctant to compete in our class. Made up of mostly former Pros with children and like me are faster in there 40's than in there 30's or 20's. A few mechanicals held me back, but I'm sure the fastest man won the series. That's 2 years in a row taking second place overall.

2nd @ Basin Bash XC 7-31-10










.
Renovated for the 2002 winter olympics, Snow Basin ski resort served as yet another perfect venue. Updated and renovated for the olympics the resort was totally awesome for summer events as well. I've had bronchitis for 2 weeks, had untested tires, and absolutely no preride. The Snow Basin venue plays host to weekly training series, so I new the locals would have the home court advantage. For racing the course blind I did really well, holding the lead for the first lap. The new tires where a huge stumbling block of resistance and control and in this class you need to keep things as seamless as possible. Stuck in second overall for the series I plan on making a statement at the finals this weekend.
