Argh! What's waste of time and effort:(

Easy ride in today, picked it up a lill bit as I was running late. Light traffic as its a holiday so that was nice only hit 1-2 lights... But I did see 2 separate cars pulled over on the side of the road with people passed out in them....? Party to much on a Monday night? WTF? Rear tire was low when I got in I hope to hell I'm not gonna have another flat on the ride home..... WTF... I hope I just grabbed a piece of glass on the ride in and lost some air before the slime sealed it. We shall see :( Activity Route: Claremont to work Elev.

Headed up to Vail Lake for a stnd xc race today. Was a BLAST! we headed up early 6:30am it was a sunny beatiful socal am! I reg'd and was ready to race the first real XC race of my life. I was in Sport 19-29 one of my last races in this category.... Hit the start and had a pretty bad start, couldn't get in my pedal and ended up starting pretty far back. I used a couple new CX moves I learned to do some run ups early and pass some of the slower traffic. The main climb was bigger then I thought but def not crazy, fun switch backs led to a short fire road climb then a crazy sandy switch back decent. That dropped you into tunnel of love where I totally got jammed up behind some slower riders :( I got past then when it opened up to fire road and up a new trail called gun slinger... when I got stuck behind a guy that was way to tentative on a steep decent and I had to try and go around him to the left lost control and rolled end over end.... not fun! but after I got my composer and passed the guy the trail was fun stuff 80% single track that made passing hard but fun ride. I hammered it home 1st lap in 38 mins. With lap traffic gone I knew I'd be able to try and start really passing people. I really tried to put the hammer down on the climb catching and passing each person I got in sight. I passed a few here and there and then there was a group of 3 just ahead but I just couldn't reel them in.... I hammered home trying to catch on the fire road but was out of gears :( they turned out to be 2nd and 3rd in my class :( but a great first race. 2nd lap was 30 sec faster and I finished in 1:14! I learned that the start is way more important in these shorter races! next time I know :) Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 1668 ft Location: Aguanga, CA Elev.

Great night ride! we headed out from the cars and hit the single track heading into the Cyn east. We passed wagon wheel and to the waterfall. Feeling good I cruised up power lines and made a quick loop to pick up the others. Up to tunnels we headed down rocking horse and across the water crossings. I did some good trail orienteering and we went down Joe's tunnel. back thru the tunnels and I felt good on the climb out. Back across the fire break and down cobles where the recent rains made the trail really nice and tacky. We picked up the pace going back across the waterfall and I was redlining it a bit but felt good. back to wagon wheel and then to the, classic PQC ride :) Activity Route: -- Elev.
