Here is a decription of what it is.<br /><br />An arroyo is a nearly vertically walled, flat floored stream channel that forms in fine, cohesive, easily eroded material. Arroyos can...

One thing I love about my Cannondale is that I never have to refuel between laps. I know I could get 1 more or even 2 more laps without refueling. To bad I had to still pass thru pit row on first gear. Here is a pic of me with my #1 fan (only fan).<br /><img src="http://predator.bikepics.com/pics/ca...

My goal for the second lap was to ride without making time consuming mistakes and I did that. By the second lap, quads were broken or off the side of hills. At one of the breaking bumps I felt a blister tear and man it hurt. Almost to the finish line my team mate that started behind be passes me and...

Out of the woods and back on a sand wash. For the pre-ride the sand wash was smooth and you could be in 4th and 5th. Now the sand wash was full of breaking bumps way before the turns so it wasn't as fast. Finished one lap and headed for the second.<br /><img src="http://predator.bikepics.com/pics/ca...

It was a 1st and 2nd gear trail that had rocks and hills. If you stalled or someone in front of you stalled, you are screwed becuase there is no way around. Made it thru. Only stalled 3 times. Finally came out of that and had some room to open her up. Came up on this ridge to a check mark and had to...

As the sand wash ended, the first turn to the hills came and I over shot it. A predator ended up passing me and I stayed behind him. We both were pushing it pretty hard because both of us were almost out of controll. I decided to simmer down and run my own pace. No reason to wreck so soon in the rac...

With a five second count down, the flag dropped and somehow the raptor got a jump on me. I stayed right on him thru the sand wash but never had a wide enough opening to pass.<br /><img src="http://predator.bikepics.com/pics/cannondale-cannibal-02-bikepics-180831.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
