1st Utah State 40+Expert

Finishing first in a state and on a course I thought I never stood a chance at winning on. I was given some hope last year when I took 3rd, still 5+ minutes off the lead time. This year was total roll reversal as I won by 8+ minutes. The fastest overall expert time. One of the biggest leads I've EVER won by. 1600ft of climbing per lap and 3 and a half laps for over 5600ft of climbing in 21+ miles. Looks like I'll be stumbling into the top 3 overall for 2009.

1st Snowbird " Mountain Bout" 7-12-09

The most difficult course on the " Intermountain Cup "series Snowbird ski resort host the steepest hill climb races on and off road. Avoided by many in the series with it's tedious climbs and trecherous descents. Next weekend is the state championships I hope to do as well.... http://intermountaincup.com/2009Race/SnowbirdResults09.pdf

2008 training series rolls on

The 2008 weekly training series enters mid season and as the temperature heat up the competition cools down. Starting the season surviving in the A's has begun to reverse it's polarities as I get strong in because the breaks but not enough to dominate the finish,...yet.

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.
