Durango

July 6, 2010

Man can't believe it's been a week here already in Durango and I leave in 2 days again. Time is going way too fast but that usually means things are going well, which they are.

The first couple days I suffered pretty good trying to hang with Ned here at 7000ish feet. I really hate altitude at first but I start coming around and it feels good. Ned has been showing me around as well as the Wells bros and Adam Snyder of Team Jamis. They got a pretty sweet set up here I must say....

Did a real good 4 hour mtb ride Sunday with a good group of fast guys. The high point of the day was 11,500 feet and shit load of wicked single-track. I was almost happy to be done the downhill as my arms and hands were worked. The body is starting to feel good and pretty excited for the Pro XCT in CO Spring this weekend.

Thanks to Ned for putting me up and if I am even somewhat in the same sort of shape he is when I am his age, I will be pretty happy! What a cool guy.

Out to tube the river with Snyder and Wells and couple cervezas.
