MCR Dirt Roubaix Video

Mad Cow Ramble Dirt Roubaix

 

What a night. It's been 3 years since we raced the out n back gravel loop in Farmersville. Awesome weather. Anthony road was perfect. Big Tim counted us down. Sean took off on his gravel bike. Zoom! Josh followed while I stayed with Big Tim on his E-MTB, We caught Josh on lap 1. The laps flew by as I cheered everyone coming at us. Josh, Big Tim & I finished together at 18.5 mph. We were delayed by two trucks and a tractor which cut our avg speed. Sean crushed it at 19.9 avg. Howard, Buz, & Tebow came in all smiles in 5th, 6th, & 7th places. 22 miles of dirt. Boy were we covered in it too, Mooohahaha Great warm up for Sunday's race. Good times!

Venga!
