With my NUE series ending after W101, and lacking motivation after a long season (for me!), I took an extended bike vacation. After a couple of weeks and longing for more adventures, I decided to race another Cat1 xc race. Getting shot out the back and having my worst race of the season-DFL, I decided the year was officially over! I have no complaints-it was a great year for me and one I’m building on!

mmm, Pisgah
The motivation is finally back after spending some time in Asheville and doing a little night riding! AND, Cross is back in action, as well. After last year’s success on the HiFi, I decided to try my buddy’s cx bike…meh…no thanks, the HiFi just feels right! After upgrading to CX3, I’m not having too much success, but I’m having tons of fun…

why run when you can ride

FUN
And then the cramping sets in after racing for the 3rd time in 2 days!

There’s only a few more races, including the NCGP in Hendersonville! Maybe we’ll catch up before the years over, or maybe we’ll see each other soon enough. I’d like to thank the 29er Crew for some fond memories this year…



Awesome, Brent!!!
