1 place & 24 seconds form the podium.



Left work at 3 AM (bartender/part-time). Bed by 4:30. Up at 6:30. Drive 109 miles to race, ride and get high on my bike. Some dismiss the Michigan series in favor of this or that State, but for whom the bell tolls…you just have to grab a wheel and hold on because Michigan is fast. Focus, and if you are religious even say a prayer. 22 Miles of all single-track with 10 times crossing various rivers, knee high, 30 feet across at the USACyling sanctioned event, Ruby Campground. A light, responsive bike like a Fisher 29er is always fun, finding the big gear after the first lap of 5 just adds to the fun. 1 spot and 24 seconds from the podium and the cash, the later is always nice, but the former is where the love can be found. See you at www.lumberjack100.com this weekend.
