The Champ
After finally dialing in my bike complete with my favorite tires I was ready for my first ride off road this year on Sunday. I was pleasantly surprised to learn b-matter a current National Mountain Bike Champion was going to ride with me. It was humbling to know that my biggest ride of the year so far was his recovery/cool down ride after winning the 31st annual Chequamegon Fat Tire 40 race in Cable Wisconsin on Saturday. It was his 6th time winning the race of 3500 riders and he smashed the previous course record which he also set. I was able to achieve my personal goal of not touching a foot down (dabbing) the entire 9 mile loop that we rode (it was his second loop for the day!).
Then we surprised him with a steak and shrimp dinner fried outside and a cake commemorating his latest accomplishment :)
