Lutsen starts in an hour.  I felt okay pre-riding with Brian. It is sort of wet towards the end of the race.  Slept in the Travato last night.  There were a million no-c-ems, so I slept with Avon Skin-so-soft to sleep.  Should be an adventure.  

Yesterday was the Lutsen 99’er Mtb race.  I’m kind of busy today with a bunch of cleaning, driving, and such to do.  I’ll do a recap tomorrow when I have more time.

The race went pretty well. but not exactly how I envisioned it.  Brian Jensen (team mate) and I rode together for much of the race and I ended up having to leave my wingman with about 30 miles to go and ended up winning by 9 minutes.  Brian held on for 2nd, barely, all cramped up and hurting.

Okay, like I said, I have a ton of stuff to do this morning so I’d better get to it.  Little wrecked today, not too bad, but a little.

Climbing up the finish hill. It was super cool, riding under a bridge that was lined with people. The crowd was pretty great.
