Only 4.5 days till BUMP!

Really super stoked! not cause it's a on the pro tour, or cause it's a kenda kup, maybe a little b/c of the UCI status, and maybe cause of the olympians, BUT mainly because the is my favorite trails in the southeast!! And the fact that i get to do it twice as fast as i can go...well that's just great!

I do have mixed emotions this year about the Pro Course that the racers will race this year...it's an abbreviated version to say the least...a 6/3 mile loop that;s going be run somehow, I think backyards up jonshon's mtn. the mixed emotion you ask? well....

1. The Pro: It's perfect for the spectators. We'll all be able to track up in the woods, take pics, yell..."go,go,go"....and we'll try to catch a solid buzz doing it. It's be a blast for me and others in that sense...

2. The Con: It BLOWS for the racers themselves...they all would probably much rather be cranking the full 17 mile loop, enjoying the kick assness of blood rock and the gnarly DH that follows...no they get this little 6 mile loop with some good single track for sure, but not the race we'll have...they get robber of the all around best trail in the Southeast!

Off the soapbox for sure....

Training has been nice and consistent. I had an extra day of rest last week due to not feeling well and lots of rain on Saturday, which stunk, cause it was going be a fun ride. But besides that, everything should be right on track. I fell rested...legs don't feel great...kinda just there...but fresh. I got two days of short intervals coming up to fire the system up again...jeah! Looking forward to Sunday!
