Living the Dream

Outside of Moab, Crested Butte is one of the most mentioned places when it comes to epic singletrack and it's where I found myself last weekend. I made the four hour drive on Friday afternoon to race in the Mountain States Cup Series race at Mt. Crested Butte on Saturday. On the drive down I contemplated why I race, and why I train so much. I came to the conclusion that one of the reasons is simply so that I can ride more singletrack in a given amount of time then anyone else. I did my best to uphold this principle while in CB. I was able to hit up some amazing singletrack with some friends on Saturday evening after the race.


And on Sunday, I rode two of the most epic rides in Crested Butte, The 401 and Reno/Flag/Bear/Deadman's.


It's pretty nice to be able to travel to a place like CB, race, make enough money to more then cover the cost of the trip, and then rip some of the most amazing singletrack ever. Here's to the MSC Series for helping keep the dream alive.
