Scott's Ride Blog

Great quick ride. Started off a bit slow, but after we got to the top of the first section me and jeff put the hammer down a bit. I was really cautious and slow on the descents as I don't want to get hurt this late in the game and my tires are totally GONE! I'm holding off to get the maxxis on there right before the race so these IRCs are gone I can't hold a line for the life of me! Up the 52 climb I was feeling great on the first section, was going great up the bitch climb but stupidly lost my balance and dabbed :( powered up the next climb with gears to spare. Thur a couple of quick up I got to the final section, got stuck on the rut again! walked down did it again and got stuck again :( gave up and walked over that part and started again. The decent is already getting really loose, but I was slow and took it easy, no stops on the rollers then down E-ticket, and to the twists. no stopping at the Great quick ride.

I cleared S-turns last like back in July of '07...... I then switched to clipless pedals and haven't cleared it since. I cleared it with authority!!! I powered up it with heavy gears, kept speed and kept going at the top, no stops, up the fire road climb in my middle ring, thru the up and down and back to the car in record time! My back was a bit soar after the long decent thru the canyon I didn't know if I was gonna be able to get up Sturns with my back hurting, I knew I had the legs but my back held out. More stretching and rest is going to be key next week! pickanik area and up S-turns....... I KILLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cleared S-turns last like back in July of '07......
