Well the skies opened up enough yesterday to finally get a good solo ride. This racing business has got my priorities all out of whack. In years past, I would have been perfectly content with ten days of rain and great water levels on the river. Now I’m feeling guilty when I go a day or two without riding.

It was a perfect day to test my new Maxxis Ignitors. I believe I have found the perfect West Virginia tire. That’s not a knock on the S-Works tire that came with the bike. They’re going to be great on hard pack days, but I was blown away with the cornering of the Ignitors in some very soft conditions. The climbing felt pretty good too. I was having so much fun, I ended up doubling the length of my ride.
