Day 5 - Breck Epic Stage 1 - Pennsylvania Creek

Wow!!! Not much to say about today except it rained the entire time and had an average temperature of 41 degrees! Can you say cold!!! It was an amazing day! The trails were very technical!

Ashley crushed the stage with a time of 4:37. I'm hoping they will post mine tonight.

At the riders meeting this evening at 5pm, they stated that this race today was either the hardest or second hardest stage ever in Breck history. Weather and terrain conditions extended the times the normal pros would complete it in. Also, to give an idea on difficulty to the standard ride, close to 100 of the rider received a DNF. Many were pulled due to health condition. That is close to 20% of participants, which is a crazy percentage.

I did not take all the pictures that I should have as it was so frickin cold. I did record some videos which I'm hoping to add later.

We dropped the bikes off at the bike shops to do mechanicals and bike washes. We will pick them up in the am around 7:30am.

Grabbed some burgers at FlipSide in downtown and came back to the condo. It will be an early evening. Did some laundry, prepped the drop bags and backpacks. On to sleepy time.
