The BMC Team Elite came together nicely I’d say. 21 pounds and ready to accelerate – straight out of Switzerland!

This weekend’s stage race will be a good test of the legs and of the mind. Fontana was a mixed bag, so I’m excited for another shot this weekend. It all kicks off with a Super D (really its a TT, yet they call it Super D) this evening. With any luck I won’t get any spokes busted out of my wheel in the STXC Saturday and on Sunday it’ll be full on, all the time. The XC course at McDowell is relentless with little if any chance of recovery. Almost in a Chequamegon style you have to pedal all of the time…

More from the weekend. I’m off to the races, -TJ
