I knew this would be hard...but not this hard (Downieville Classic XC)

Want to be able to ride, walk and race while still hearing other what's going on around you? Shokz is having a 20% off Labor Day Sale 8/28/2023 - 9/04/2023 and you can get EARLY ACCESS right now with the code "SYDANDMACKY" (US only): https://sdqk.me/PytcFscH/tEP8VVHw Just five days ago we finished BC Bike Race, a 7-day cross-country stage race on Vancouver island. During that week we raced over 180 miles and climbed more than 25,000 feet and both ended up with top-10 finishes. And today Macky will be lining up for the famed Downieville Classic, a tough 2-day race in northern California, with a 29 mile cross-country the first day, and a 40+ minute downhill race the second. This was one of his goal races for the year, and while we always knew a win would be hard….well, it just got a lot, lot harder.
