Too Bonzai!
Ashland, Oregon.
The Spring Thaw in Ashland was another great race for me. The weather was not very cooperative and it was kinda cold then on the second lap it began to rain. The race started in a different place then usual so right off the get go im going wide open for about a half mile! The climb should have eased up– well, too late now! Thank goodness I had two bottles of GU Brew, I think it saved me on the second climb I was feeling pretty good heading into the second lap with (former teammate) James Shingleton. Made it to the top and it was time for my Kenda tires with the Orange Seal to earn the money. Boy did they ever–I made some fantastic corners except one switch back that i came into way too fast and went down leaving a little flesh! While I lost a second or two, I flew the rest of the way to the finish line in 1:53 not bad for a 50 year old and took home the GOLD for Team REALL!
My trusty Steed–locked and loaded!
Newport, Oregon
It was another reunion of the three amigos–Jeremy Ryan and I went back to The Coast Hills Classic and just like last time the weather was beautiful. 86 degrees and a nice breeze! thanks to my Kenda tires full of Orange Seal no flats in the berry vines. I don’t always find the best or smoothest path so need a tire that is going to hold up to extreme conditions. Ryan and Jeremy started four minutes behind me this year but they did not catch me even as I got a little dehydrated. I didn’t drink enough of my GU Brew for the unseasonably awesome conditions and I was cramping at the end. While I am sure the weather and temps had a lot to do with it somehow I still managed to bring home the GOLD for Team REALL! Nice start to the season and I feel great thanks to all the sponsors and you EZ “E” you are the greatest keep on keepin on ciao!
