This first one is after the initial run into the woods and climb up the fire road - about 45 seconds in and 2 good matches burned due to the rookie mistake of slipping on the attempt to clip in. Nice - but hey, if Adam Craig can do it in the Olympics, a punk like me is definitely not immune! That's Steve from the coast behind me. Nice guy.
This is at the top of the 1st (of 4) big climbs during the 2nd lap. This is the infamous switchback climb. The first 7 switchbacks are basically smooth (some roots) with the new rock gardens between # 5 and 6 and get progressively steeper. The 8th through 10th are mostly rock (especially the 8th one) and work your technical skills at a time when your blown from the first 7 SBs. AWESOME! You'll notice all the rocks in this pic (a lot for MS)...well, this hill is full of them and these were used to correct some drainage issues/make 2 sweet rock gradens halfway up. Awjeah!
And, lastly, one from the Saturday TT and, although I'm not sure if you can tell, I decided to rock the old school argyles. Socks I used to wear in high school circa 1990 resurfaced in the sock drawer and I couldn't resist.
Yeehaw - it's Friday suckas!
