passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. heading out to ride a lap of the bailey hundo course today... gonna be a warm one.

pre-ride of bailey hundo course out at buff creek. really good legs today... stomping up the first climb and rode solid on all the tech stuff on little scraggy. that trail is slow going. going to be interesting to see how it plays out on race day.

all was going awesome then while descending morrison creek my chainring came loose and just started spinning. the lock ring totally came off the back. i recently got a new bottom bracket and chainring and they obviously didn't install or torque it down correctly. I was able to hand tighten it enough to get out of there and luckily it was almost all downhill back to the car. lame. 4 hour ride turned into 2 and i didn't get to ride the other side of the course.

went straight to bike shop on the way home and they fixed. the dude who swapped my bottom bracket FORGOT a washer so it was moving side to side which likely cause the lock ring to loosen up. unreal. all good now though.

can't wait to race next weekend.
