Huntsville Fall '07

We went to Huntsville this past weekend and did some racing. It is a generally flat course of 9.5 miles. Nicole's client Floyd joined us for some riding, racing, and camping. I finished 8th out of 43 and Nicole finished 2nd out of 4. She also took home $175 in winnings...NICE!

MTB racing at Camp Eagle

Camp Eagle is the 1st race of the fall TMBRA series. Camp Eagle is about 1 hour west of Kerrville. It is probably the most scenic and fun place to hang out. The trail is tough and offsets the serene landscape. There is a small lake area that is springfed with 68 degree water all summer. It is cold and refreshing. The water is so clear - it would be a great place to fish as well. The trail was muddy, slipper, rocky, rooty, and all that fun stuff.

Nicole finished 1st in the Womens 19-29 Expert Category. There were two of them racing in that category. She did a great job and finished just 11 minutes behind the Pro women. She won $40 for coming in 1st place!! $$$$. I still did beginner and came in 6th out of 15 or so. Whoopteedoooo!! ;)
