mohican 100k

so the 100k has come and gone.Was the most enjoyable endurance event i have done yet.had a pretty good start fought through some slow traffic for a while but ended up not being hampered by to many slow geared guys through the first 15 miles or so. Then hooked up with Mr. davis for about 15 more miles then the trail flattened out and he was gone. Shortly after that gorman blew passed me on a muddy down hill i panicked and tried to counter his move on a climb only to blow up before the top and watch him ride away.The next 20 miles was pretty much hanging on to geared riders as long as i could. Then with about 10 miles to go a single speed rider caught me with a geared friend.Every time i would put distance between us his geared buddy would pull him back however through all this we managed to catch gorman. Once i saw gorman i turned it up a little and in the process lost the other single speeder. I got to gormans wheel only to start cramping pretty bad and had to let him ride away as i had to get off my bike on a few hills.It was still good enough for 3rd place single speed and in the top 15 overall.The best part of these races is getting to hang out with great people for 2 days. I dont think anyone could ever ask for a better team then team soupcan or better people to drink beer with.Hats off to brett davis for his performance that was a stacked field and to be 7th overall is awesome.Then theres lorson top ten overall on a single speed and walked away with the single speed win. If you didnt know he is fast on that thing.The rest of the team did great im as jazzed about their results as i am mine.
