Actually woke up early on my own today. I checked out of the hotel at 07:00, and was on the road to Conyers with Caribou Coffee in hand by 07:20.
Arrived at the Conyers, GA International Horse Park at 08:10. As I arrived and saw the sun beaming off the timing tents and other racers campsites I got goose bumps. I had arrived at the course after a long trip, and I was just so amped to be there! The mountain bike race course here is the same one used in the 1996 Olympic Games. It is a world class XC race course consisting of a couple hundred ft of climbing in the 8.5 mile loop. It was a little bit of everything, including high speed single track, and the infamous “slick rock” climbs (which is very rough and broken in most spots). For some reason I really love this place – the setup, the race course, everything.
