In a posting last week 'endo city' I described my penchant for crashing on particular day - I went out with Chris yesterday to Brandywine. He had scouted out several most excellent trails.
I had some mechanical problems at first and my chain was slipping quite a bit, but after we slogged through a couple creek crossings and the mud cleared, things seemed to be better (though not 100%).
Happy to report that I had no crashes. I suspect Chris was just being kind to me and keeping me off the really technical stuff so that I didn't lose confidence before our race - good guy that Chris.
Anyway, at the end of the ride Chris took off full speed and I took chase - loads of fun riding at full speed, especially at dusk - everything seems to be faster.

This was a really fun training ride with a good mix of hills, stream crossings and single track. Unfortunately, we hit the hills early before I was warmed up. I suffered early and badly trying to keep up with Jesse on the hills. I was worried that I would crack on the 2nd half of the ride but that is when I warmed up and we hit the single track, which is my specialty. Riding on some new and different trails almost made it seem like we were in a different park.
Can't wait for The Savage Race at Marsh Creek State Park next weekend!

Chris, Great ride last week - you recovered very well after the first BIG hill - you just needed to warm up.
Thanks for scouting out the new trails!
Erika - you posted a comment to the wrong day! Sorry I was late for dinner - the Mexican place was fun!
