The air is fresh and the bridges are NARROW | BC Bike Race 2019 - Day 4

Спорт

After a lot of road rage in day 3 of the race, I decide to take it down a notch and enjoy day 4. Today's stage was a lot more XC than the previous days, with only one memorable downhill section.
But that's OK, I felt like this was the perfect way to set myself up for the rest of the stages.

    I just want to take a moment and give credit to the people who did the trail marking in Powell River. Death Rattle looked like a airport landing strip. Also, it gives me the warm and fuzzies seeing so many people out supporting the riders. So awesome.

    I kept expecting an Ewok to poke his head out from around a tree. That looked so cool. The colors of the dirt, fallen trees, and greenery made it almost look fake. It looked a lot more tame, and that you got to enjoy it a little more this stage. Of course that meant you let Paul get out front, but the spoiler on Syd and Macky's channel already foretold the future. :-) It looks like no matter what, you guys are there having fun and not taking it too seriously. How can you take it too seriously when someone did that in under 1.5 hours??? (Shocked face)
