Big Weekend

Going into Saturday's planned 6-hour ride I was already a bit cooked from the previous week of hard riding and wasn't sure how I'd feel. Hooking up TraceyP and J9 for a tour of new-to-me trails was energizing and I got stronger as the day went on. I have to admit, the ladeez were crushing me on the initial climb and only an hour into it I was questioning whether I could keep up with them for another 5 hours. Luckily I finally warmed up and the diesel kicked in. The ladeez were rocking the techie descents all day long. Watch out for TraceyP & J9 at the 24 Hours of Targhee!

Moose Cross trail work

Sunday was a work day on the Moose Cross course. Thanks to Eric, Jeff, Pete, Bergy, JayP, Amanda, and Nate for the help.

The course is shaping up nicely and now needs a little moisture and some rolling/packing to firm things up. We removed a lot of rocks and cut in a new section connecting two key features on Sunday.
