I am an avid mountain biker, but I am not competitive. Most of my rides last around 2 hours. I decided to enter in a 6 hour endurance race with a friend. We managed to ride around 5 hours. We rode the whole race together and had a blast. I had no idea I had 5 hours of riding in me! We came in 3rd/4th (she was 4 seconds faster than me). I feel like I've accomplished something. Now thinking about doing another one, but this time actually compete for better a better time/mileage.

    Our riding skills compliment one another. She is faster than I am, but I have better endurance and technical skills. We encourage one another. She is a a great riding partner. Now that we know we can you do it, you are right, nothing can stop us! so time to step up our game. The next race is in two weeks! I think I prefer the lapped races though. There is one coming up this summer we plan to compete in... against one another. That will be interesting!

    Good luck with your races Corey!

    Thanks for the support everyone!
