To Infinity and Beyond.

Tomorrow is the visitPA.com International Intergalactic Global Open Mountain Bike Team Relay Championship of the Universe Including the Anti-Matter One. (There, That Should About Cover It.) race. Due to some scheduling conflicts there will not be a complete Allied Milk team racing. Instead we will be racing with two riders from the Bike Line team making us Milk Line. Allied Line didn't sound right.

Anyway, tomorrow should be a mudfest since it seems like we got about 6 inches of rain today. I'm sure the singletrack will be in good shape but those grass fields are going to hurt a bit.

The course is a very short 3 or 4 miles which should be covered in about 15 minutes (if I remember correctly from last year). 4 person teams will rotate for 4 hours. Most points wins. Sport and beginner riders will receive a handicap to even up the field.

All week my power seemed lacking but hopefully I will be able to pull something out for my 4 or 5 laps.

Shawn will be racing Fawn Grove on Sunday. This is a road race that apparently has short punchy climbs with 7 sections of dirt/gravel road mixed in. Something like 13.5 mile laps. I hope they have a sweeper for the riders with flats. Good luck.
