We loaded up the bus and went to Ashland for the Spring Thaw  kids race and downhill this past weekend. We all had fun.

I ended up pinching my rear tube in rocks near the start which left me with a flat tire by the time I got to the last few turns and final sprint to the finish. I was feeling good until the rear got too soft. The fat front wheel was great compared to the 29″ wheel I had used before in this race.
