Saturday-Sunday, June 22-23 @ Olmstead Loop in Cool, CA.
Rigid Niner One 9 w/32:21 gearing, Racing Ralph 2.4 front 2.25' rear
Single-Speed Class. 3rd (would have been 2nd in Open Class...doh!). :)
Ended up with 15 laps, ~170 miles and ~18000' vert. gain. I was amazed that I never felt exhausted, just lost strength and energy over the course of the race. No pit crew so I pitted every lap for a new bottle and often to eat real food. Was in 2nd until 10 minutes before the cut-off. Far surpased my goal of more than 126 miles (from my only other 24 solo in 2011). Read the long detailed version by clicking anywhere on this sentence. :)
Good Times!

PMBAR 2013 Finished!
Saturday, May 4th @ Pisgah National Forest, Brevard, NC.
Rigid Niner One 9 w/32:21 gearing, Racing Ralph 2.4 front 2.25' rear
Partner: Jay Lundi (for the 4th time) on his Rigid Specialized Carve.
This was a tough one. It was wet and muddy with waaaay too much hike-a-bike. It ended up pouring rain and we finished ~52 miles and 10k feet of vert. gain in ~12.5 hours. I actually felt pretty good the entire day but Jay was having some tough times. Still, as always he gutted it out for the qualifying finish in spite of near hypothermia. :) Good times in the Blue Ridge Mtns.
