The bikes made it on the plane free on the way out. Saved us $100.
Building the bikes at the CT base camp for the week.
I hit some 1track at Collis P. Huntington State Park near Trumbull, CT.
Glacial erratic, some trees, and the rig.
After arriving in VT on Tuesday, the rain started and it did not finish until Friday evening before my race on Saturday morning. I read a couple of books to pass the time.
The rain made the Mt. Snow 1track a quagmire. Thick mud + Steep Trail = Pushing a Heavy Bike Uphill for about 1 mile.
Yep, this one was for the stars and bars.
A gap already? Why am I slow today?
I was bombing the DH and passing guys, but...
... dragging ass on the UH and losing lots of time.
SLR sporting her new Blue Star attire.
She worked the crowded feed zone masterfully as usual.
2.5 hours later it was time for the suffering to end.
Wrecked and left with nothing in the tank.
The Blue Star Fan Club came out in full force. Many thanks!
Even though I sucked, I still had a great time at my favorite race venue in the country. Who could not be happy in such cool threads? Thanks SLR!
Next up, a Snowmass race report (altitude got me again!) and some pics of the new full suspension rig that will be in the stable tomorrow.

Great pictures ... I wondered how big your bike case was and how things fit into it. What a quagmire at Mt. Snow !!! Is that you, third from left, at the start ? Which one is SLR in the feed zone, I couldn't spot her. Loved the picture of "wrecked and with nothing left in the tank"!
