need indestructable bike!! :P

Hey guys,
So i've decided that i am going to hire a team of researchers and mechanics to make me an indestructable bike thats light weight and awesome!!  haha, i wish
The Kelso O-Cup was this past weekend and as you can maybe guess i had a mechanical, my chain broke.  The race, the part i did, went great, the start was ok a little off what i wanted but still fine.  I was a little slow on the first decent/corner because i hadn't done that at race pace because the tuesday nighters went straight down instead of around.  The went well felt good and strong.  In the trails i started to pick people off one at a time unstil i caught up to Etzl and was on his tail (he was third i was forth) but i was ready to pass him because he was slower in the trails then me so i was getting ready to do that when we came to a sharp left then up a hill and my chain snaped, ending my race.  I was bumed about it, Kelso was MY course and it was going to be my race, i felt fantastic and was going to crush it.  It sucks but oh well what can you do.

Looking forward to the Provincial knowing that i can put up a good fight with some of those guys now.  That will be an exciting race.
peace

Tuesday nighter

So another succesfull tuesday nighter yesteray at kelso riding the O-Cup course.  The course was sweet.  i love the entire ting (even the long climb up accension)  The race went very well pulled another victory out of my pocket there yesterday.
Started out strong up the first little climb in the lead, then i looked back and saw i was already starting to put a gap on.  When i saw that i was like alright i guess i'm going for the win right off the gun. ( i wasn't really planing on doing that but it's how i seemend to go).  The climb went well, felt good and strong and i wasnt spining out like last time.  Tyler Macdonald caught up to me on the climb but at the top and in the singletrack i dropped him.  After that it was me on my own racing away trying to get away and build a bigger lead (just like last years O-cup), and i kept on thinking i was hearing someone catching up.  it help my for sure go faster, even though no one was there.  Finished the race and still felt i had energy to spare, which is prbably a good thing, that tells me i'm ready for four laps at junior ex speed.  It's going to be a crazy, but awesome race this weekend.  This is my course, i love it and have always done well here, hopefully i can repeat that again this year!!!

Canal Days

Another great time spend riding up in th Hood.  So on the weekend Shorthill Cycling Club held their annual Canal Days Mountain Bike Race.  As always it was a blast, sweet course, great riders and a fun race.  Unfortunately my race turnd into a duathlon :P  as my deraileur got nocked out of place, not really sure what happened but it happened.  Oh Well!!
The race started out well solid start then we got into the trails, wasn't were oi wanted to be but whatever i was fine with that because it was a just for fun race.  We got to mud lake and JC and myself started to make some fround on the next guys.  We workd together for the first lap until the seconf lap he flatted.  Then i was alone, doing ok holding a solid pace.  Then my deraileur went about 3ish kilometers from the finish.  So i started to run, but then after no one had caught me after a while i thought maybe i can still come in second place even while runing so i started to push a bit.  Steve ended up catching me in the lap km.  BUt i still managed to make third place.
Solid race lots of fun, really technical course.  Congratz to Andrew on his second victory on this course and to Katlyn on an excellent race.
