Hit the perennial not-so-favourite-if-you-don't-have-your-legs Kelso OCup... with a whole bunch of rain the day before and the morning of the race... made for some fun corners in the slickrock up top... Had the usual start (up to 2nd wheel by the big climb) and then Jason Everaert dropped it like it's hot.... gave the look back to Mark Brusso .... "So... uh... he just finished 2nd at Nats and has some altitude in his lungs... we can't let that go...." ... "Then you start it Barnes!!!"
Grabbed his wheel just before the large field section and rode with him until half way through the 2nd at which time he needed to recover (humidity was terrible at this point....) so me being stupid decided to hold our earlier pace and get a good gap... which i did... but then started to feel it in the last lap.... lots of sweat and some gritting teeth got me across the line in 1st and I locked up the Overall with 5 wins....
The Fuel was the bike of choice.... sit and lay down the power, and rail the rough singletrack and downhill...
too hot to change out of Podium Kit for the drive home so i rocked the Bib Short Drive.... got some inquisitive looks when i stopped for gas (3 times) from local trailer park ladies....
