ppp weekend
the chainbreaker went off pretty well. We had a record number of entrants - i think 316 or so, plus another 30+ kids in the kid race...so close to 350 if you count them. The weeks of rain leading upto the race really kept the dust down, making for about perfect trail conditions.
Chris Sheppard hammered he whole race to take the win by about a minute over Carl Decker on his SS.
WebCyclery Riders took first in the Expert Men, SS, and Tandem classes, as well as a few second and third places as well. Awesome job everyone!
Bad news was that our good friend Elise broke her arm out at the race, which really sucks. We hope you heal fast!
Now that the race is over, I finally have time to ride again. I just rebuilt my Evolve with XTR and DT 240/Arch wheels - dropped another pound or so - so my XL weighs in just a hair over 27 lbs. I've only gotten to ride it a few times this week, but it feels great. Tonite, our new mechanic Justin and I went for a nice little ride up to whoops. I'm a pansy ass when it comes to the whoops, but they sure are fun. I think I'll be checking out upper whoops this weekend. I heard there was still a little snow up there today, but not a whole lot left.
PPP is tomorrow - good luck to all those competing. We hope you have a great time!
