Epic Racing around the World

Long days in the dust and wind, and that’s not including any on-the-bike time.Many of the crew are feeling beat up from the last few weeks’ worth of travel and are battling colds…with that in mind all except Bryan and Ohran sat out the STXC today, and since Sea Otter isn’t a stage race any longer, it makes sense to rest, recover, and focus on…posing for photos, of course.

We’ve often considered it a toss up…7 hours on the bike, or 7 hours on your feet. Which is worse is more of a challenge?

An overview of the Cannondale compound, from left to right - the Cannondale Test Ride Center, MonavieCannondale.com’s base camp, Sobe/Cannondale’s base camp. We were, hands down, the largest and best insulated (from the wind and cold) tent city at the venue….which was fortunate for Jamie Whitmore who came out post-surgery to visit, inspire, and share the story of her grit with everyone. We’ll have to sit her down shortly and put the story to keyboard.

Sunday’s XC should be interesting. I know I’m ready simply to get it started.
