White Pine Touring Race Team had thier first group ride of the year! Everyone was planning to race the Mid-Week MTB race series, but it was cancelled due to mud at the last minute. That meant we all had time to ride and glycogen to burn and burn we did, all the way to Gaurdsman pass! It is approximately 2,500' of climbing in 9.5 miles. On the way back we did another short climb for a total of 2,800' of climbing in 20 miles. Everyone was super strong and fun to be with, I'm so excited to be on a team with all of these great folks. Tim had death metal/punk playing from small speakers in his rear pockets, I tried to stay near him so no one would hear how hard I was breathing!
