Eau Claire WORS proved to be as fast as ever, both in terms of the course and the competition. Little gaps in the singletrack added up and they were too much to close down on the wide open flat sections - no matter how hard the efforts were to do so. Jesse, Marko, and Mike rode away while Chris and I chased, dropping others in the process. As fun as the those trails are to ride, it was frustrating not to be able to let it rip as much as I would have preferred. I could only ride the singletrack so fast and it wasn’t quite fast enough to hang with the leaders this time. A quality race and a solid result despite though… Jess and Craig did an awesome job with this top class WORS event. Thanks!
It was great to have friends and family cheering me on out there. My four parents and four grandparents were attending so that made it an excellent occasion.
This weekend will be the NMBS at Windham, New York. I’m excited to race hard at the national race scene again and try out a new venue - all as a good tune up for Mt Snow which is the following weekend…
I’ll try to get some quality updates from the trip and of course I’ll recap the race action here so stop back here for more from the road. The top five of us from the Eau Claire race will all be racing Nationals at Mt Snow. It’ll be good to have some familiar rivals out there!

Glad you had fun at EC. Our course is not very forgiving of mistakes in the singletrack, you have to have every turn dialed in. Good luck out east, hope all the WORS boys light up the competition.
