Park City Point to Point

I have done a hand full of Hundred-mile mountain bike races, and I would have to say this is the best one. OK so, it's not a 100. It is an 8 hour race. It's not a bunch of roads. It's not flat. It's not smooth. It is for people who can ride mountain bikes. Not for people who like to draft, pace, attack , or sit in.

I went to this thing feeling a little heavy from leadville and the Brec-epic.
No Problem.
I wore two pair of shorts so that I could sit as much as possible on my hardtail.
I ate as much candy and gu as I could. I rode my own race. I ran super high pressure so as to not pinch flat.
I began to feel my best after 3 hours. When I pulled into the last feedzone I ran over something sharp and began squirting sealant. I was very fortunate to have my TruckerCo latex seal it up and ended up holding 30 psi. Even with only 10 miles to go I was still stoked to not have to use a tube. I hate tubes. If you have tubes you either have too heavy of tires or you ride like a pussy or you get a lot of flats.

We got cash for the top 5 and chairs for under 8 hour finishers.
