I was the only one that did the race today out of us three

And it was a doozy. Oh was a doozy, right? So I'm pretty glad my

Rainbroke because you said it's actually more technical than yesterday. Yeah, so it's kind of it was interesting

So yesterday we had like big ups and big long descents

In a couple exceptions there were there were a couple exceptions, but the descents are pretty long, right?

And today's descents weren't that long feeling they were steeper

They were many more rock features big slabs big like steep drop sections and consecutive drop stuff and

A lot of people walking their bikes. I don't know how it could get steeper because

It's like I was falling down the trail like you can't you can't walk down it like the mountain bike shoes

You just kind of slide. Yeah, it was it was steeper. So

But so we started out at a ski resort today and then from the skiers or we just went straight up on fire roads

We pre-road that section we

Close to what we could have there were so many different options around that area

And we actually ended up taking a steeper out than even we took so

It was really steep and then we ended up going up that loose rocky section that we so everyone knows how

Steep do you think like what percent grade?

They're over my hand unit saying that it's over 30 when it's in the worst of it. Yeah, it's steep

Yeah, it's like over 30 it's over 35. I saw 37 at one point today

It was up and down right about that steep. Yeah, and down a section steeper steeper than that
