We spent at least 20 minutes on the lawn of Silver Lake (Deer Valley) debating when or if we were going to ride. It was sunny and cool and the lawn chairs were so comfortable. Finally we rolled out on mid-mountain so we could climb Team Big Bear and descend Boulder. We turned right back up to Tour de Suds, Moose Bones and finally my favorite; TG. For some reason I love that trail, and have for the past few years. We stopped half way down in the meadow for a snack then rolled on back.
I'm pretty sure these are the tallest guys that race mountain bikes. They also happen to be crazy fast.
Nate is headed to South Africa for the Single Speed World Championships. He grabbed a spot by winning the SS at Whiskey 50, then won a free trip there by winning the raffle at that race. 3 weeks in South Africa, amazing! If you win the SSWC you get a tattoo, I've talked about it briefly here. Heather Holmes, who I raced with at the Mt. Ogden 50K and PCP2P in 2010, won the SSWC in 2011. Kelli Emmet, won it in 2007. Blake happens to be very close friends with both Heather and Kelli, so I was in good SS company. Now I just need to get a SS and start the pain!
