Mountain Bike Racing Adventures: May 2011

http://karenpotterbikeracing.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures. Monday, May 2, 2011. It was to bed early and up at 5am to hit the road to Tennessee Friday morning. I have to admit, the driving is getting old. 5am was not met kindly. I dragged my butt into the car, which we had packed the night before, and even nodded off again for the first couple of hours. Aged buildings, etc. I was almost afraid the hotel we were staying at might have suffered some damage but the tornado didn't travel quite that far. I'm cracking up (since I hadn't ...

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures: August 2012

http://karenpotterbikeracing.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures. Friday, August 3, 2012. I am definitely not up to par with blogging as I was last year. I knew I should have just written the race report when I got home Sunday evening, as that is usually when the recounting of the race weekend flows best. But, I procrastinated. And well, it's a week later. Not too long after that I notice my cable rubbing on my front tire. I'm like, odd?

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Peak Race Vermont 6 Hour Race (Saturday) and Hampshire 100K (Sunday). I initially said "NO WAY". I was having a hard enough time staying motivated and focused to get through one day of racing. But then, I found myself signed up for the Pisgah Mountain Bike Stage Race the end of September. It's a five-day stage race with 195 miles and 28,000 feet of climbing - ouch! Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? First 5 mins) and. Http:/ www.youtube.com/w. We then...

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures: June 2011

http://karenpotterbikeracing.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures. Monday, June 20, 2011. Lumberjack 100 Miler 2011. Oh, where to begin my book. I had some new travel mates this time around. Down at the Cohutta 100 back in April, I had run into a friend/fellow racer I had met 5 years ago at the Jay Challenge in Vermont - a 65 (er, I mean ultimately a 72 mile) torture fest that had 'broken' me and had me crying at the end of it vowing to never ride my bike longer than 2 hours ever again (that lasted huh? What is wrong with me? That would ...

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures: June 2012

http://karenpotterbikeracing.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures. Friday, June 29, 2012. I've been a complete slacker this year when it comes to blogging. It's not really procrastination. It's more the fact that I need about 5-6 more hours in a day to get everything done. So I'll do my best to recount in maybe not so full detail my spring racing to date. Which will hopefully give me the time to keep growing my business as right now, I'm too busy to do the marketing stuff I need to do. Don't worry I'll get to the bike racing eventually.

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures: April 2012

http://karenpotterbikeracing.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures. Sunday, April 22, 2012. Michaux Trail Cup 2012. So, my long-winded entry into why I decided to race the Michaux Cup was because originally there was an option to race 75 miles which with the terrain in Michaux (super technical) I figured would take about how long a 'normal' 100 miler would take and thus give me the long distance race opener for the season since my first NUE 100 won't be until Lumberjack in Jun. There were some delicious post-race eats. The awards were...

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures: Late Summer Racing

http://karenpotterbikeracing.blogspot.com/2012/09/late-summer-racing.html

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures. Tuesday, September 4, 2012. It used to be easier to write up these race reports but whatever reason this year has just been a bit off. I have three races to catch up on and anyone who reads my blogs knows I can write a book on each race so I'll try to keep it to just a book one these past three races. I was a bit disheartened to finish the first 100k lap a bit slower than I had finished last year and last year I had done a 6 hour with a ton of climbing the day before....

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures: September 2011

http://karenpotterbikeracing.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Mountain Bike Racing Adventures. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. 2011 Pisgah Stage Race Day 1. I drove down to Brevard, North Carolina (just south of Asheville) yesterday. I got in around 3:30 and checked into my 'swank abode', per race standards, and quickly unpacked. My hotel is only a couple miles from the race start/finish. It's very nice to be so close to the venue, have a clean shower, clean room, wifi, etc. Registration and the opening ceremony was. Well off to bed. four more days. So drama over....
