At the Whiskey 50!!!

Just had a preview for the race tomorrow with Scheefer, Bryan Dillon, and Stew.  There is some sweet single track here and I am looking forward to being in the hurt locker for a few hours.  Perfect weather and conditions, seeing how it rained two days ago, but now its sunny and 70.

Headed to Arizona for the Whiskey 50!

I was busy last night packing for this weekends escapade to Arizona. I went into work for a couple hours this morning and now I have a few minutes before I'm off to the airport to head South! 

I'm going to Prescott Arizona for this awesome little, wait BIG, event called the Whiskey 50. I think they have somewhere around 1,750 competitors this year and for the pro race they have a $30k cash purse! That means the best of the best will be attending. Check it out-

The Whiskey will be my first real race of the year, I went to Tuesday night road Worlds last week here in Bozeman, but that doesn't count. I actually feel well prepared despite not racing yet. This is because of all the road riding I've been doing this spring here in Bozeman (and on the trainer, sshhh...). I'm looking to be on the podium this weekend and plan to race accordingly! 
 Hopefully all the road riding this spring will pay off!


A bunch of us from the Alpine Ortho team are headed down so wish us luck and we'll keep you updated with how it goes!
