Back on the other side of the tape

A Sunday off. No work, but heading to the bike races anyway. After going 2.5 southwest on Saturday to work the Doc, on Sunday we headed 2.5 hours northeast for the Fort Rock Revenge mountain bike race. It took a bit to climb back into the truck at 6am, and arriving 30 minutes before the start probably wasn't the best idea, but it was totally worth it. And it was a day to pedal, not to do results- after months of watching everyone else play it was good to get on the bike.

As is typical of the races in the EFTA series it was good old school mountain bike racing. 2 nine mile laps of big rocks, bridges, sand and twisting singletrack. Plenty of fun for everyone. Some race course you would only ride because there was a race there- this one you could ride every week and still have fun and find new challenges. Just make sure to bring the A game, cause this is no Sager-esqe aspen lined freeway, this is East Coast. Roots and rocks, the way mountain biking should be.
