I was mildly hypothermic as I crossed the finish line of the @tusharcrusher after being out in pea sized hail and rain for the last hour and a half of the race. Covering 70 Miles with 10,000’ of climbing, I wouldn’t recommend the Crusher for your first bike race. Despite the challenge, I couldn’t stop smiling. I had so much fun climbing up and down huge mountain passes on my bike, getting splattered in mud and drenched in the rain. Huge thanks to all the volunteers, race organizers and fellow competitors who made this such a memorable day. And thanks to @binghamcyclery and @bingham_cyclery_peak_fasteners for inviting me to participate. And finally to @rob.lea for taking spectating to a whole new level.
