August 31st, 2008 Camp Eagle Classic Mountain Bike Festival
As you can tell from the pictures, I now race for Team Sage Cycles. I was having a great race, and was somewhere in the top 10, but I ended up crashing.
Earlier in the race I hit a rock, and bent my rear derailleur hanger. Therefore, I only had 3 gears I could shift into. They were low gears so I could climb well, but would spin out during the downhills.
Eventually, I burped out all the air in my front tire on a drop, and went endo. I tried to repair my tire, but my CO2 cartridge was a dud so I could not finish the race. This was very disappointing since it was the best mountain bike race of my life up to this point.
Anyway, at least I have a few good pictures in rememberance of the race.
