BT Epic

Second year for this event. Extremely well run, big payouts and worthwhile raffle. This brought out some of the fast guys from the area and beyond. It was a great weekend. The perfect way to finish up the long race season. I really love the scene of MTB racing around here. Everyone is in it to have a good time and I've met a ton of cool folks. I had a decent ride with a good two hours, then a bad two hours, then a decent hour and a half. I'd love to figure out why I slump so bad like that. Training, nutrition, going out too hard? Not sure. Sometimes I feel powerful, sometimes I can barely turn the wheels. It was a sloppy day but I don't think it really bothered anyone too much. I know I had a blast!

I linked to some pics from various places, none are mine.


The start, 120 racers or so.









After less than a mile we had to cross this.



So they made this.



And we did this.

It's been quiet for a while here. I don't have a lot of text, but plenty of pics from BURNIN (huge thank you Zac) and some other random stuff.

First, the randoms.








And the BURNIN.
