Sugar Mtn. NORBA Race
I headed over to Showdown at Sugar National Mountain Bike Series #2 today with a friend. It was a great day and my lazy butt was supposed to race in the single speed race but I kind of bailed. Anyway…I met up with and I saw a lot of friends (Frank and Ann Jones, Ryan, Lee, etc..). Great day for racing and the pro short track had a lot of excitement. Ryan ended up with a third place finish and Charlie I believe ended up in the top 20. Here are a few photos from the race.

Racing in Fontana, NC over the weekend
We headed to Fontana, NC for the Fontana Dam Jam mountain bike race this weekend. Of course having a child there are no photos of me racing but plenty of photos of Paige. It was a nice weekend well deserved. I’ve been working like a dog for the past year and really need to refresh my sole. The race was great but probably one of the hardest single speed races I have ever done. When you have a race as big as the Dam Jam and only a hand full of single speeders are at the start line, and everyone is looking at you like you're complete crazy, you know they did something to the course to scare everyone off. Well…they incorporated every rocky major climb in the area. Fontana is known for its steep short climbs and extremely rock trails. In short…it beat me up and I was just glad to finish (4th place). It was a great training race to see how I'm setting for cross season. I think I'm were I need to be for this time of the year.
After the race Lyn, Paige, and I headed to the pool for a little relaxation. It was Paige’s first time in a pool and she loved it. Lyn showed her old talents as a swimming instructor and Paige looked like a champ!
On our way home the next moring we stopped at Tsali, NC for a mtn bike ride. Ken...I was thinking about you. I was pretty tired from the race, but still had a great ride.
