Finally got back on the bike after the race. Cholla, the last race, was tough. It was hard to spin or push a big gear on the flats. I felt great on the climbs and descents, but the guys at the front were too strong.

After a lunch ride up the canyon, the spillway was active. The cell-cam really doesn't do it justice, but it was pretty cool.



The foothill trails were really in bad shape. At first I thought the horses had been up in the mud. Then I started to notice the 'droppings', Elk. They've been using the same trails and really done a number on them. Dammit Elk! Sorry inside joke.
