Show at Sugar

Well here we are at our rental cabin awaiting the XC #2 at Sugar Mtn NC. We were watching Sue's comedy tape and Erin is making us some appatisers. Chris Furrer is doing massage and we are all just lounging like house cats.

The course had endured a pounding from the rain and traffic, in the 2 woods sections it has gotten pretty burly as tire traffic has exposed the slick roots and rocks. Thats good... The climb is huge and it goes on the pavement a bitt. Kinda west coast style a huge climb and big down. I think is will be wise to play patient on this one. 4 times up this mountian will make for about 5200 ft of climbing. The semi pros did 37 min ave laps so I think the winner will be busting 34 min avg laps or so. About a 2:16 or so finishing time. I guess.

Man I did this awesome ride yesterday. I headed out for a jouney up Grandfather Mountain and then headed up the blue ridge parkway. The veiw was awesome. Then I asked a ranger for some direction on how to make a loop back to Banner Elk. I had no map or food but was really into the adventure. So the rager sent me down a wicked dirt road thru alpine meadows into the valley town of Foscoe below. I then took the long way home over 2 really sweet climbs and the downhills were crazy cool.. the most crazy switchbacks since Chris and I raced Transalp in fact! I am definitly coming back to do some serious riding here when I don't have a race to do.
