1992, I was racing every week. This particular race was at the Buck Hill venue. The day was extremely hot and humid. I remember hydrating and staying indoors in the the cool townhouse I was living in. Keeping my body cool and waiting as long as I could till I did my warmup ride. It was a good game plan because I finished top 10, I believe 6th place overall.
Made the cover of the Metro Section of the newspaper...
At the time Jeff Hall was out in Colorado racing with Scott Hebel in the Colorado Mountain Bike Races. I traveled the following week to meet up with Jeff and Scott. We were members of the Diamond Back Racing Team. I met them in Winter Park, Colorado. At 9700 feet high in the Rocky Mountains, it was a crash course in racing and living at high altitude. Heck of an adventure.
I returned to the Minnesota River Bottoms this week. Took a break after the Montana adventure. I have been recovering and organizing my gear. Preparing for the season change to colder weather.
Good to get out on an evening mountain bike ride into the dark of night.
