The Course @ Spirit Mountain is a visionary work in the tradition of the Romantics!!!

Pre-rode the full-on Powder Monkey course again today...it has many new surprises including what has to be the toughest continuous techincal climb in the Midwest...This is a monumental race course that will challenge even the very best!!! I am totally pumped to test myself on this BAD BOY!!! Kudos to Scotty Johnson and the rest of the COGGS crew for a great effort!!!! Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Bravo!!! A course that presents classical themes ranging from man's desperate fight with the forces of gravity to our self-destructive obsession with the absurd to our instinctual urge to seek out risky acts of folly...I'd be willing to bet $100 that not one rider will be able to ride a clean lap on this course...itz WAY HARD!!!! Like it should be!!!! Itz so cool to have the opporunity to race on a real hard-core mountain bike course, thatz not to say that I don't like the wide-open courses, but itz fun to throw in a few super hard techy courses in as well...ITZ ALL GOOD as long as a guyz out there doing it!!!

Also, my 1X9 set-up is perfect for this course...
