thrO down CUP #1

had the first MTB Throw Down last weekend... up at the Perennial site of Mansfield... always dry, fast and not too technical to limit the crashes...although i was able to hit the dirt twice... had a pretty good day... the lungs opened up well and the legs felt good... Mansfield always trashes your back so that pain was expected... had to chase a new "kid" in the group for a lap before i bridged up and then attacked... at the moment i thought it was a good time to go, but a lap later i was having second thoughts.... held on to win by about 45sec... and caught Emily Batty just before the line.... "Hey Barnes... what's the best way to get a picture on PedalMag.com?".... "Try posing with Emily at the finish line... the photographers love to post those pics!!!!"
Next stop... Woodnewton this weekend... great course that caught me being lazy last year.... not going for the repeat of that... and then it's off to Quebec for the Canada Cup at Tremblant....
