I&#8217;m riding the bike leg of the Memphis in May MTB Triathlon on a relay team with one of my students from last semester. From what I&#8217;ve heard, the course is prettymuch just grassy fields, so I have a bit of a weight disadvantage with my full suspension 29er. It&#8217;s aight, though. I&#8217;ve got good mud tires and fresh legs to make up for it.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, I&#8217;m returning home, eating some lunch, packing the car, and heading back out to Montgomery Bell State Park for Sunday morning&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/middletennesseevelo.synthasite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Monkey Grinder XC race<\/a>. I&#8217;m hoping I can get in a pre-ride on the course this afternoon. The rain should stop sometime this afternoon\/early evening as well. I just don&#8217;t want to be setting up camp in the rain. That&#8217;s not so much fun.<\/p>\n<p>I would normally be a little wary of muddy courses\/rain, but I feel\u00c3\u201a  like I experienced the worst possible conditions I&#8217;ll ever encounter last weekend at DSG. Short of releasing packs of rabid badgers or random swarms of Africanized honeybees, I can&#8217;t imagine anything ever being as bad as last Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m not worried.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gearing up for another wet race weekend.
