Time to race. I am feeling good. My legs feel good, my mind is ready, and most of all...I am just plain excited to go compete. Maybe it is the Tour, perhaps it was Dicky's TR sweepstakes, or maybe it's just that time again. Competing brings all the training together into a consolidated effort. The build up, the anticipation, the nerves, all melt away when the gun goes off, and then it is just the bike, me, and the mountain.

So, it is off to some classic singletrack, good competition, and a whole lotta fun! I will post some details about the race Sunday sometime.
