wow, its been a while since ive posted an update. well to start things off ive had 3 mnmtb races come and go. i made it to two of them and missed the third due to a road trip. race one of three was at Afton. i got there super anxious and killed it. had the race of my life and took another victory. race two of three was at mount DuLac in duluth. it was a shit show, the mud was calf deep and i ran the majority of the race due to a jammed freehub body. still took 3rd in class. yesterday was race three of three, i was driving back from portland and missed it, i checked the results, none of the people i was worried about attended the race, so im still in the points leading for my class.
Speaking of Portland, i just spent a week in the pacific northwest. after a two day drive i arrived in olympia washington, got to hang out on the skygazer ranch with good friends, and animals. got to go mountain biking on real mountains, climbed and descended capital peak on a borrowed single speed.. chilled at the ocean, and drank a bunch of good beer. on the whole olympia was increadibley relaxing and fun.
Portland was stressful. i didnt know my way around the town, there were a ton of cars, and cyclists everywhere. in Portland we went to a bunch of cafes, drank dollar pbr's and had dollar twenty five vegan corn dogs. saw a bunch of art and waterfalls, and got dumped for the 6th time by the same person. had two awkward days with her, then started being a complete ass whole to her. at that time we both started to enjoy each other again. moral of the story, girls are fucking confusing.
