cyclocross at dryer. Jess flatted and I did loops up Atrain and down Kasha/Gully as I waited for her.

West Bay. The green trail is getting nice, except for the smelly mud.

Dryer. Brought Mike out mountain biking for the first time. He was a good sport

Second arrowhead race. I pumped up the tires on my mountain bike and rode it out to my car and when i grabbed my front brake it squealed a lot and didn't slow me down at all. The pads were worn down almost all the way to the bases, so I couldn't race my geared bike. I grabbed my singlespeed that's setup with a 32-20. To summarize the whole race - not enough gear. I was spun out the whole course. I had to spin what felt like 150 rpm to hang on the pack for the first lap, and that's not sustainable. I stopped trying to hang with people when we came back through the start/finish field and couldn't move my legs fast enough to hang on anyone's wheel. I started riding the flats slowly and trying to rip the singletrack sections. Not the most successful race strategy but I had fun.

warm up/cool down for the race

City cross with JS. A few cemetery loops and we hit the trails behind whipple park - they were dry for the first time ever. The sandy rollers on the moto loop were a lot of fun

Tryon and West Bay. I ran into Tom down by the creek and my easy ride around tryon turned into chase him around at full speed. The Green trail in West Bay is going to be awesome
