This weekend I got to race on the trails I consider to be my home away from home. Racing in the desert in St. George, Utah is always a blast and this time I was able to finish the race in second place! The chase at the front was intense with another national caliber rider! My Jamis Team Dakar XCR was the absolute best choice for this rocky, fast course. I was able to fly over the rocks and keep it open through the corners with my GEAX Saguaros! For the first time this year I raced on my Stan's Race Golds and loved the predictable, stable feel, having raced that hoop for 4 years now. Since the USCUP races in SoCal in March I've been recovering and rebuilding. My energy and flow was back up and I'm ready to take on Sea Otter next week!
