Day 2 Practice Tremblant Canada Cup

F1 racing and bikes. What more can you ask for in a day?Today I woke to the sounds of F1 cars ripping around the track on the TV. At first I was a little choked because I got woke up but then i was just watching intently... We got to the track and hung our stuff up at the Devinci tent. Then I set out to battle through practice solo for the first run. The first run was pretty solid, however I kept on getting stopped by course marshall's yelling at me in french about a rider down ahead. Very frustrating. Especially on a course like this that is so rough and you really need to carry some speed through sections to maintain the flow.

It is basically mandatory for me to head back to the tent after every run because i am so hard on wheels and re-tighten my spokes. An average of four out every run... Thats all good though, par for the course when your a big guy like myself.

I did five runs through out the day and am feeling ready for tomorrows race.

I would like to give a big shout out to the guys at Devinci for keeping me rolling smoothly down the hill! As well as a big thanks to my parents for helping get me here and to Pinkbike for all their support.

Keep the rubber side down!
