Finally checked this box, wasn’t sure if I ever would. Thank you @adambanton for filming my 15+ attempts and keeping the stoke up. This is mountain biking. #southmtnwaterfall #honeystingerambassador
Week 18 was another jam packed banger. Finally got a chance to hit the Carborro group ride before a jam packed few days. Pulled out a trouser snake for @r_popple as he passed through town, linked up with the #slowcamp crew, couple days of work and then scooted up to the Jersey zone to kick off round 2 of @prodownhillseries . Classic Jersey spring weather with some wet wet. Stayed dry enough and stoked on how the GCO race show came out.
Week 17 was quite the hustle. Ripped some laps in the shed, (saw no @b_team_mtb ), unintentionally flew to Augusta, GA, absolutely botched some muffins, worked with homies, drove to RVA to work/ride/hang. Would do again.
Catching up takes us back to week 16. Some work days meeting some new friends, some classic homies and heading up north I-81 for the spring DH pilgrimage. The @thegravitycoop crew mashed out round 3 of DHSE with a slew of good buds. Extra big thanks to @tommypenick for the special “fuck premiere” coffee roast ☺️
After wrapping DHSE windrock I kicked off week 15 ripping some pedal laps with Sammy and @broseph83 on the “XC” trails, proper good. Clocked in some windshield time, yummy foods, feel good commercial vibes, @bouslayer towed me around Carborro singletrack (his warm up rip to get on the podium this weekend, yea boiiii) and then the Brooke bros bullied me a bunch (jk, congrats @pollyketcham on scoring the Richard 💍). Got some chill days between things but there’s no chill.
Heard y’all like x-ups. Kicking off week 14 cranking one out during some party laps at @windrockbikepark for DHSE round 2. Got some fresh spinnerz on the whip, rode bikes, worked with some good buds and we mashed out maybe our quickest race replay to date? Track was running fast, we had a good gate start, hit all our lines and had a solid finish. Got some recovery days planned before the next one. See y’all out there!
Double DH come down recovery for week 14. Went hard with the homies for 2 bangers in a row, needed some forest therapy and linked up with some OG’s for a good time in the woods. Hit up some new new and some classics out in the creek and got refreshed.
Back to back race weekends are always a doozy. The crew rallied hard from the success of TN Nats and rolled straight in to @prodownhillseries round 1 at @riderockcreek for week 13. Took a solid off day to recharge and came out swinging with lattes and hype. Stoked to see all the media homies for a second weekend in a row and really happy with how the show came out.
Springing into week 12 with the squad for the @tennesseenationalmtb DH race. Stoked to have Rob and Eliot in the holler for the race and psyched on how the race show came out, go peep it on @windrockbikepark YouTube page.
Week ‘leven was some dhse TTC recovery, city cruise’n, made some coffee outside, fought for some upgrades and some work (in crocs). Excited for these next few weeks with Tn Nats and Pro DH on the planner. See y’all at the edge of the tape!
Week 10, spring is springin! Prepping and jumping in to the first DH race of the year with the crew. Got some rides in with some new and old homies. Couple days of good work and some good food and coffee. Took some quiet time to sit and reflect on thoughts over the last few months and feeling good on life trajectory. Looking forward to more outside time.
