Good morning friends, I placed second again this weekend in the annual Sorsaka MTB race, sponsored by Bsure Insurance group. This is by the far one of the hardest races of the year, it’s about 25 miles which is three full loops around the Jan Thiel salt pond and this time they designed the route so you have to climb just about every hill out there! For once I had a great start and managed to hold my own and may have won if not for a stupid flat tire but these are the spoils of racing! I also had my GoPro on for most of the race mounted to the back of my seat post but other than the start the rest of the video is boring, you would never know there are 65 riders chasing me, it’s just 60 minutes of looking at my rear tire and watching the trails fly by!
