Brothers Cup

Watching weather

has become a sport almost as 

time consuming as bike riding. Lots of eyes to the sky

and computer screens as the Subaru Cup got closer.

A nasty thunder storm rolled through the area

late friday night. I was sure that the 

race would be a mud fest.

Get to Mt Morris and check out the trails

fry and getting dryer. So I plunked down some money 

and started to get ready. As the cat 2 race went they

helped squeeze more water out of the trails making

it ready for the rest of us.

 The line up was a mess it was a free for all to get to the 

line first. This ended up being a big part of a good start to the 

race.

Don yelled go and we were off up hill and heading to the single 

track.

In to the woods following some the juniors that got line up first 

it turned in to a pin ball game with the rocks and the tall ferns.

Around to the pond and back into the woods to start climbing.

So far the course was great and fast. Down then back up.

Now this last up was a bit of a bitch good and steep with no

sustained climbing really punch quick power and 

soft like a sponge. This part hurt had to do a 

few cyclo-cross moves to keep going.

Four more times around. 

Felt ok started a bit to hard and payed for it.

Good ride good training I want more.

Red Wing is next and it should be dry.

Here is the end and a bit of pain..
