“Heart pounding, thought my chest would explode.”
“Hands going numb, can’t ease off the grip, rock flying up every where, eyes watering. Holy crap another big rock, BANG… “
“I look down and see smoke coming off the disk brakes, o my god the rotors are glowing red. I’m going so fast my nose starts to bleed…”

“After 142km in 3 days and some great folks I feel great!”
