JUST 4 LEFT, DON'T WASTE 'EM
AS WE ROLL TOWARDS FALL, I can see my calendar could be jam packed. There are a million events. Some are normally in the Spring but were pushed back, some are new, some I've done a bunch...
... and some I've never done.
That said, it's time to pick and chose.
Can't do 'em all.
Can't all be A's.
I've narrowed it down to BWR Cedar City, a gravel race. Sea Otter, the mega event. And Sagebrush Safari.
September.
October.
November.
None of which includes OverTheHump, our weekly MTB series; nor The unOFFICIAL TMWC, our once a year throw down on the weekly group ride.
BWR is one I've always wanted to do. It's a gravel race. To be honest, I don't know what to make out of gravel racing. Is it really racing? It doesn't seem like it. The few I've done have felt more like survival contests.
Sea Otter I've done many times, but we're thinking it would be fun to add the Enduro on the first day. Then the Circuit Race. After that, it's a toss up at this point between the Gravel race and the XC. Either way, 3-4 days or racing will be fun.
Sagebrush Safari is another I've always wanted to do. We pre-rode it 2020. Super fun and long MTB race with miles of singletrack.
Which is the A?
For sure not BWR because... gravel. I still don't get it. Love riding it, just don't get the racing component.
Sea Otter's Circuit Race is by far the best race on the calendar for my natural abilities. But, it's so short and so far away I'm not sure I can call it an A.
Sagebrush's opening 7 mile fire road climb is far from being one of my strengths. However, the miles and miles of singletrack that follow make it very intriguing because it's much more my style when it comes to MTB.
This week I'll start filling in the RaceDay Calendar™.

Yep, the same one where I committed to two big goals already this year: snag a Silver Corral for Leadville - mission accomplished; Win LoToJa - which I'm not going to attend this year.
4+ months left...
... to chase 1 giant goal.
I'm not sure what it will be yet...
... but I'm dawgawn sure if it doesn't get written down...
... it ain't gonna happen.
