1st Wolf Creek " Super D "

Super D, a long distance downhill mountain bike race. Punctuated with climbs through out but must finish lower in elevation than the start. I rarely lose as long as I don't miss any turns. It rained the whole day, sketching most the field into dropping out. All the fastest riders showed and even though I don't have a pro license in this field I had the fastest overall time of the day.

3rd Deer Valley XC " Intermountain Cup #8

It's been a struggle to break up the season long dead lock on the podium. I'm hoping to climb my way up over the next few races.

Grinning and winning

The seasons been good dispite the gaps in the schedule. Both me and my bike are faster as I struggle in the top 3. I since the top of the podium coming soon.

Training hard, but hardly racing

It's been some great training rides with the team, but do to gaps in the local race schedule and crappy weather the races have been the slowest ever. So I wait for the real deal and deal with pain with no chance of results.

3rd Cholla Challenge 4-4-09

Snow covered Utah from north to south as we drove in and out of blizzard/snow squalls. With in 40 minutes of the venue we dropped 2000 ft into a oasis valley of 60 degree sunshine. where I raced with just arm warmers. My second race with the 29 inch wheels left no doute when me and the biggest horse left out of the gate and gapped away on the first turn. With 300 meters to the first single track approaching I launch with discouraging momentum and enter technical single track with a 5-10 second gap. From there I just checked out what the bike could do and found my self off the front by seconds for 19 of the 22 miles. lamenting to a fully ridged single speed 29r ( surprise) first and last years state champ within 2 minutes of the finish line.who was too disappointed he didn't win by the usual several minutes and didn't show for the podium, "sand bagging" and still failing is a heavy task master for those type. I wrecked once allowing them to see me restarting and had younger expert age groups pride blocking in the single track. Last year I finished 8th, so hopefully things are getting faster.
Team " MonaVie/Cannondale" swept the top 3 in the pro men, impressive team in cyclocross and the XC circuit

Limited weather and races in March.

March has started off inconsistent in weather and race schedule. Training rides and training races have been great. Competing on a race car track is a ideal place to test fitness and components. Our team is looking poised to battle for the overall series this year.
