Ouachita Challenge

Well, it is over. The Ouachita Challenge 60 miler turned into a 50 miler because of the weather. It was great! my left knee is hurting like crazy! I don't know why, but I wish it would stop! I think there were about 2 other hardtails there like mine but it was great! lots of fun and super organized ride!

Wolfman Duathlon


Well, the race was crazy! It was nasty and so full of water you were lucky to stay up on your bike. At the end everyone looked like they rolled around with swine. Fun yes but now my bike is in the shop so they can grease and get it ready for my endurance ride this weekend in Arkansas. Endurance mountain biking is totally new for me because there is no one to give you food or water you are just out there amongst the rocks and trees. I think I will like it and hope to develop an eating and drinking strategy to finish the race without much mishap.
