Back home from the trip up north to Quebec and Mount Saint Anne for North America World Cup round #1.  A great weekend for Michelin and some American athletes with Adam Craig getting one of his best world cup finishes in 4th place.  Way to go Adam!!!

No matter how many races I see, it is always mind boggling just how fast they go.  I go watch a local race and thing, I might be able to hang with these fast guys.  Then I head to a national level event, norba or the Us champsionship, and think, man, these guys rip.  No way I can keep up with them.  I think there is no way people can go faster.  Then I go to a world cup and see the absolute best in the business and they completely blow my mind at how fast they can go through some of the most technical terrain I have ever ridden.  It is just unreal.

With that in mind, I really don’t want to travel again to Canada for another world cup, however, I do want to see these “machines” just pedal their bikes as fast as they can.  I can’t wait……
