i got the big ring back

me and bart had a redemption ride tonight at sundance. 11 miles, 55 mins, 1800 vertical. its a sweet loop with twisty dh and big ring climbs. me and bobby ripped it in the big ring. just cuz we can.

i got the power back, 3 day in a row. bart said he was riding slow but still worked us over, he pinned it on the 2nd climb and got 20 secs on me, spinning 120 rpm up the hill while im standing mashing the big ring.. yaa

there were a lot of people racing. maybe checking out the buff 1 track for the saturday race next week end.

over 15 experts and pros, the real tommy boy showed up, alex g, brandon, chris h, kenny j, the wolf and many others. it was nice. if you have not ripped the sundance trail system you are missing out. get down there and shred.

back in 89 i did race with the juniors. i thought i was pretty bad ass, still do, but thats another topic.
so i raced at sundance back in 89' it was like this. they put us kids at 15 in with all the sport guys. they didnt have age groups back then so it was like 40 sports and juniors ripping around.
i remember shifting into the granny ring on the first corner and my chain fell off. i was in last place so i spent the next 40 mins passing everyone. i got passed them all except bart. he took off like usual and i never saw him. i wonder what happens if i dont mis-shift? we'll never know and
some things never change.

that would have been a good blog back in the day.
