Blast the Mass- MSC Stop #4

Well, there is 4 down, and 3 big races to go. Snowmass was the most recent stop of the Mountain States Cup series. It is always a nice race, because I don't have to travel anywhere. There is always something about sleeping in your own bed. Snowmass in turn was also delegated as the Colorado State Championship race. There was cool state champ jersey's on the line, and because of that everyone was ready to get it on. The course is phenomenal, it starts of with a grueling long climb, then some great rocky/rooty singletrack, creek crossings, screaming descents, and like always a nasty climb at the end. Anyway, the pace went out fast, and I was able to hang on for 3rd place. Joanna also raced (2nd race ever!!!) and did a great job. We just don't know how great a job she did, because they had the results all messed up at the finish. We finished before 10:00am and waited til after 5:00pm to get results, and they still didn't have them together. Overall, it was a great weekend AGAIN for COMotion!!! Three top finishers, and state champions. Congrats to Matt Juth (Sport Mn), Megan Castle (Expert Wm), and Jon Chambers (Semi-Pro). There was a couple 2nd place finishes, and a couple 3rd place finishes. Even though the results aren't available STILL, I am pretty confident the COMotion is solidifying it over-all points lead in the MSC series. Sorry I don;t have any racing or podium pics. We got to tired of sitting around, and went out for some sushi in Aspen. Mike Giem, decided he would celebrate for everyone though-------

Here is a great example of a pic worth a thousand words!!!!

Boni, Felix and I hooked up on Sunday for a great ride in Carbondale on Mushroom rock. Sorry Felix, I know it wasn't one of your favorite rides, hope you will ride with me again. (As soon as boni sends me some pics I will get them posted. Have a good week everyone. Next Stop Telluride!
