O man, how these races are great! I’ve really started to understand what racing is all about- pumping yourself up, ripping trails as hard as they go and of coarse drinking beer.

There seems to be an art to racing that others have so fined tuned they make riding at near maximum output for 2 hours seem easy- well let me tell you ITS NOT!

Not only to you have to keep a steady pace, it has to be while your lungs are pumping air like a space shuttle uses rocket fuel and your legs are hammering like you’ve got a army of T-rexs chasing after you. And recovery wow! imagine punching up countless 60 degree angle hills at full speed with rocks, roots and stumps littering the place so far to the point you can hardly see staright without blasting into one obstical or the other; its like dragons raising up from the hells of hades to spray you down with fire adrenaline. Good fun though, I conqure those dragons!
