We’ll we’re down to the final hours before the NORBA cross country opener. All systems should be go for tomorrow’s noon start time.  The course will demand a very hard start on my part since everything is pretty tight and passing will surely become an issue. Ian raced the marathon today and has reported that the sandy soil rapidly degraded from our pre-ride conditions. Some sections are like beach sand out there… This is a course where you have to be ‘on’ the entire lap, since there are no sections that allow brain-dead pedaling. It’s always looking for a line, braking, standing or sitting, and never anything too consistent. Fox was able to do a fresh rebuilt on my shock, so having a functional damper should help smooth out of the rough course. The rides this week have been pretty low key so the legs should be set for four tough laps. Once the dust has settled I’ll post a race report so be sure to stop back. Keep it real, TJ
