TODAY IS A BIG DAY FOR ME , I'AM RIDING THE OUACHITA CHALLENGE FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE CLASS THAT I WILL BE RIDING IN IS SINGLE SPEED. SO THAT MAKES IT REALLY TOUGH.
SO OF COURSE I HAVE THE PRE-RACE JITTERS, WONDERING WHATS AHEAD OR INSTALLED FOR ME , I HAVE RODE SMALL SECTIONS OF THE TRAIL BEFORE BUT NOT NEAR ENOUGH. RIDING 60 MILES ON THE OUACHITA MOUNTAINS IS INTENSE. THERE WERE TIMES THAT I JUST WANTED TO PUKE, I WOULD ASK MYSELF "WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF" I KNOW I LOVE THE SPORT BUT GEEZ THIS IS CRAZY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TRAIL TAKE OUT RIDERS LIKE THIS RACE HAS. THERE WRECKS, FALLS, BLOW OUTS, YOU NAME IT , IT PROBABLY HAPPENED.
ONE THING THAT I THOUGHT WAS REALLY COOL WAS THE BODING OF THE RIDERS, WE ALL KNEW WHAT WE WERE THER FOR BUT WE ALL KNEW WE NEEDED TO HELP EACH OTHER WHEN NEEDED HELP AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER...
SO THAT IS A BRIEF BIT ON MY RACE SUNDAY.
