Crank the shield Day 1

Day 1 of CTS was wet and very muddy... got to hang with K-Bomb on the start line and rolled with the Big Dogs for most of the day before losing them on one of the many climbs ... the rain forced a course shortening to only 68km that took 3:30 for Team Smart / Trek Store.... landing us 7/8 for the day and 1st in our category by +25min... glad to be the first to hit the showers and had a nap before seeing some people roll in with times of 7hr plus... yikes....
Trek Store Rock Star Treatment was the best money spent... totally tired, cold and hungry but got to hand over the bike to Taylor, Zack and the many talented Wrenches to make it work beautifully for the next day.... although Taylor is looking a bit confused in the photo above, he does actually know what he's doing!!!
Decided to move away from the Top Fuel for a weekend and roll the big wheels on Adam's Superfly 29er... and it was a great ride..... rolled over the countless rocks and roots beautifully and held the speed on the rolling / road sections...
Trek Store Mechanics worked long into the night to repair / prepare all the Rock Star bikes for Saturday.... i handed in my bike, showered, had a nap, went for a visit, had another nap, ate dinner, had another nap, went for another visit before finally turning in at 10:30 and the Boys were well on their way to a 4am night... i think Zack went 1-for-1 on the Cofee/Bike Ratio....
Dropped off Late Night Mechanic Fuel for the Boys before turning in... after 8hrs of washing, adjusting, replacing and it was only 10pm, this tray made me the Trek Hero!!!
