Bigger and faster...

That was the theme this week at Wednesday Night The Races. The bigger turn out and everyone decided to throw down. I'll give you some digital views before I bore you with the details.

The uphill start!

About a mile of this to fight for your spot...

Before you enter the uber twisty singletrack.

No place to pass in the bar snatching ribbon of dirt.

Setting up for climb #2Climbin'. Half way up.A little false flat after the top of the climb (notice the very rare Wisconsin Gravel) before you hit some more twisty goodness.Then you drop back down the ski hill and start the loop over. This is the front side of climb #2.

The laps are only 4.11 miles, but typical of Midwestern single track it doubles back on itself so much that one section is nicknamed "Small Intestine".

This week the turn out was a little larger and we BLASTED out of the gate. No hole shot or pointy end this week. I was about 7-9, I think, going into the singletrack. That first mile after the climb is full out eye popping madness. A mad scramble for position going into the single track. I am still missing some single track mojo, but it is coming along. Stayed with the chasers again until climb #2 and away they went, not out of sight this week. I kept on the gas, inspite of feeling crappy-> strength training doing me in this week? And rolled by for lap 2...
