Bear Springs was most fun so far this year even though I flatted (I know
Leet. I need to switch to tubeless)! I was rocking! That does not mean I
was winning, but going faster on downhills than ever. I do not know how
smart that was, but it sure was fun. The course was in great overall
condition. Petr and crew really did pull it off, but I believe that their
hard work were the final details that put it together. The most important
thing this year was pushing it back a few weeks and not just CANCELING it
because of the snow. Thank you Petr, and Half Fast (Falls City... coming
up) for moving dates. My absolute favorite part of the course this year was
the log foot pads that floated away. I was on total "sheep mode... as in
one foot in front of the other", when all of a sudden there were no more log
foot pads. They were all about 6-8' down stream so a nice cool hike through
the water later I was smiling and saying "yeah baby" that felt really great.
BIG FUN! Brian you were right. We were not the only ones that had a great
time. But we also did work hard. I slept like Gus Tonkin and Ian Baker
last night!
