Steve wondering which trail leads to Spring
My bags are packed, lights charged, fresh Bontrager Dry X tires mounted up. I am so ready to get to the desert. Steve and I froze for 2 hours outside yesterday. We were rewarded with some pretty sweet sections of frozen singletrack, but I thought I might have to take him to the ER to have his toes reapplied. It was cold. This morning I rode the short bit to the shop, 15 minutes into the wind and I had an ice cream headache the whole time. It was cold. I checked the forecast for the weekend in Tucson, Sunshine and upper 70's. It will not be cold.
It is a funny familiar feeling doing all the necessary arrangements for a 24 hour race. I Have not done it for awhile, but I still have the dance down. This time no all night pulls for me, bust a lap and kick it by the fire. 24 hour racing might be on a touch of a downward slide from the past years, but I look for team racing to grow and make the niche spike higher than ever. It is just to much dang fun.
I will have a full report and plenty of pictures when I return.
