Lake Bryan Race

Nicole and I headed out to Bryan, TX for the 4th installment of the fall series. Nicole finished 1st and I finished 11th. Pretty fun stuff. The course was pretty flat and uneventful. Lots of tight turns and loose sand. Here are some pictures that others took out there. You'll notice someone snuck a photo of my calf when I wasn't looking when I was wearing a different jersey and riding a different bike. :)
Darn those paparazzi!!

Palo Duro Canyon Weekend

Nicole, Billy, David Bearden, and I went to Palo Duro Canyon this past weekend. It was a great place. We went for the 3rd of the Texas Mountainbiking Racing Association race of the fall season. The scenery was special and the mountianbiking was top notch. I would rank it up there with Colorado and Utah mountainbiking - Patrick! Nicole finished 1st in the women's expert category and I moved up from the beginner category to sport and finished 7th out of about 14. The sport category is a bit more advanced because they typically do twice the length (about 20 miles) of the beginners (10 miles). Super fun and challenging!
