1st MTB Race @ Blue Diamond, NV - May 07

Got myself a new entry bike (Diamondback Coil EX) for this MTB race. Was planning on getting in share for it but work travel kept me off the saddle for weeks. Almost died from lack of oxygen but made it up a few inclines, sand traps, missed some cactus, & finished the race. My 14 yr old son made it back as well. Sponsors raffled a lot of good stuff & we came home with a tool kit, Giro helmet, Saddle, & an awesome light kit (inside joke). That day proved that I was a long way from being in shape...My motto: Ride on & ride hard!
