Good to be back...

Got a Special Invite from Sean Ruppel to go and pre-ride / work in the race course for next weekend at Woodnewton.... always a fun course and Sean does a great job building new trails in there every year... got to be part of a Big Group that included Cayley Brooks (still on New Zealand time...), Mike Garrigan, Mark Brusso, Adam Trimble and tons of other great, fast and eager racers...

we were all pumped and ready to ride the course (even though it was +1degree when we started) but the trails are always warmer than the road.... a bit of snow in the bushes and frost coming out of the ground... but by the end of the ride it was almost perfect condition... nice enough to for me to take my first Crash of the year in front of Glenn Meuwissee before enjoying Get Home So We Can Have Some Chili Ride home with Mandy Dreyer...

a dry race course is always a beautiful thing...
