    I just posted a race video on my page and about half way through all you hear is: "slow is smooth, smooth is fast", "oof that wasn't smooth", and "eyes up Justin!"

    Southern Illinois Cycling Attitude

    Lobbying for more bike trails.

    I've ridden the brookport bridge, If they can get a shared use trail to connect that would be so much better.

    Are Strava Sad?

    I never care about uploading to strava. I use xert for all my meaningful analysis. When that doesn't work is when i start to get annoyed.

    State Parks need more trails

    The problem with MTB trails is having the infrastructure set up to maintain the trails.

    Longest daily ride record

    Training for the Next Big Race in Southern Illinois

    Usually these take place in a park, and depending on the technicality of it you can get a lot in a small space. Courses are typically 1.5-3 miles in length.

    What would make you quit cycling?

    I wasn't that bad, because i was steaming and doing streaming challenges. Like body weight exercises per "death" or game lost or something.
