A couple of weeks ago Matt had a downhill race in Clemson. It's so funny to see what a big kid my husband is once he gets on, near, or around a bicycle. Allison and Chad joined in the festivities. It was so nice to have them there and it meant so much to Matt, I know.
Going to these races really gets me in the mood to ride my own bike. So, the next day we went back out to the course and I thought "oh I'll just roll over these technical areas". Boy was I wrong, I don't know how they do it. One of the drops was like 25 ft and that wall ride you see here was really intense. We saw one guy crash here in the picture where you see Matt jumping a gap and Allison, Chad, and I all thought he was dead. I thought to myself...well now I've witnessed my first fatality, but he just popped right back up and was on his bike again and going on down the path in now time at all. They wear so much armor and padding that it's actually pretty safe and way less injuries than you see in road biking believe it or not. So anyway, I thought you all might like another race story to log. :)
