To flow or not flow...

I've never actually witnessed the MN Comp class do the same number of laps as the Expert class... At the Lester race there was a buzz going around about that thanks to Stoener's Cousin [I wish I could have taken credit] and Jim took the bait. Confusion. 3 laps is not 4 laps/ simple math can be difficult. Jim raced pro, and he'll never do that again, and I believe him.  

Lester had a lot of flow. I prefer increasing the frustration and the energy sucking of the anti-flow trail. The majority love flow, that's good for the sport and trails, so it's fine by me... Leaves the less traveled trails, less traveled = good.

Bunch of turkeys...

Partook in the Red Wing Series race last week... Working to pay off my superpass registration... Raced the fatbike beater in the expert class, no desire for anything less. The jackhammer affect started working me over eventually. Flipside, climbing Stairway to Heaven was a piece of cake with that much rubber on the ground...

MN Series RESULTS

I'm sure TMB will have some great photos posted soon PHOTO LINK. Would make great stocking stuffer's, you should buy some...

Went back to Piedmont for 'recovery' ride, found Home Brew- Kissing Booth trails... Great stuff by COGGS. Got wind of a Duluth Traverse Race... Too bad it's the same day as Jail Trail race...

Seeking some race motivation, may take up more cyclecross this Fall. Give my sister's something more to heckle... They'd show up to see me run with a bike and take points away, one at a time.

Up next, park race practice??? The best is when you trip and fall running around with your bike and some dude walking his dog is totally confused by that...
