Round Two

 Sean and I are racing the Lost And Found on the 30th. We're doing the 100 mile version, so my focus has been on distance the last couple of weeks. After Lucas and I checked out the route last week I was eager to show Sean. Looks like 46 miles and 5400 ft of gain. The best part about this loop is it is mostly down hill to my house at the end.

 The knight fire is incredible. There is no way to get a picture and do it justice. 

It's hard to imagine it being colder than last Friday but it was, by a lot! We had a great ride and both agreed it is great training ride. Lucas mysteriously was absent from this ride. I'm not sure he will ever show up to any ride I refer to as a grinder again. This photo was approximately 30 seconds before two pints of Fort George epic IPA were enjoyed. Thanks for the beer Sean. 

Kicking off May

 The first ride I did this month was in Deer Creek. I spotted these bird on the very bottom of Pinball. You can't see the others in the photo but there was at least 5 other birds swooping around this one.

 I talked Tom into riding somewhere other than Red Hills. We did the Sand Bar loop. If you didn't have to drive to the bottom of the canyon I think this would be one of the best rides up here.

 The boy's and I raced the Nevada City dirt classic. I think Gage was tired.

 I rode the single speed. 

 I took Lucas on a dirt road ride. He still looks happy here.

 We rode through the Knight fire. The scenery was amazing. He looks sort of happy, doesn't totally hate me yet.

 The weather kept getting colder on us. I think he hates me now.

 Even the bears were out playing in the snow.

 Ashton was happy to finnish his race. We forgot to rase his seat after playing at Exchequer so he was struggling the whole time.

They say it's lonely at the top, but it's really lonely when no one else is in your calss. Oh well I got first. If I would have raced my age class I still would have made the podium so I'm ok with that.

Sea Otter

Sea Otter time again.

 I don't think Ashton was happy about the start time or the temperature.

 Sean and I raced the XC on the last day

 Ashton won his kids race.

 Gage was second in his.

 The kids had a ball, literally!

 Free T shirts!

 Breanna and Gage both raced the downhill on Saturday.

 I want to see this guy race in that thing.

 They really do a lot for kids.

 Almost 4000 racers took off from that line Sunday.

 The Tebbs killing it for second place.

Sea Otter is a lot for everyone.
