I was remiss leaving out a photo of Dennis’ new Ericksen MTB. And road bike. The MTB bike is the new 650B standard. I rode this exact setup a few times last fall and if you only have one bike, this could be the perfect choice. And with it being made of titanium, it should last forever. Pretty nice duo of bikes there.

Okay. Just got back from Glencoe. It was surprising good race to be at. To race and then to watch. I’m not normally much into watching races that I think I should be racing, but this wasn’t a problem today. After racing the 1/2 race, I had no desire to race another hour in the PRO race. It was muggy. The course was hard. Way harder than it looked on paper or in pre-ride. I’ll post more later. The PRO race was one of the best criteriums that I’ve seen in quite awhile. And how about Levi smearing JHK and others in Leadville? Wow. Didn’t really see that, but I don’t know anything about his MTB background.

Recovery drinks at dinner late in Evanston.
