My first ever bike race was this past weekend, where I participated in the "Pedal in the Pasture" mountain bike race and placed first in the beginner category. It was adrenaline pumping, hair raising, and just plain incredible. The temps were high, the creeks were very wet, and the trails were muddy in the right spots. I only dumped one time and that was when I did a pre-ride of the course.
People kept telling me that I was crazy since I have never ridden a mountain bike nor ridden trails before; but I still had fun. There is a definite desire to participate in the Psycowpath series and I will be at Swanson on 5/5 for that race. Sure hope it will be as fun and not as hilly.
Special thanks go out to Jen Hoffman for all the work she did in organizing the race. Sorry not many people showed up. I would love to do it again next year but I hear that she will not be doing it anymore because of the low turnout of people.
Thanks go out to Jerry for lending me his bike since I do not own a mountain bike at this time.
