I'm really proud to announce that I'll be repping the Spy brand of goggles this season. These are the Jeremy McGrath model Foundation goggles. Black on gold polarised lens. 🌟 Super comfortable 🌟 No fog 🌟 Peripheral vision and clarity 🌟 Nose guard 🌟 Fits in helmet really well Thanks @spyoptic 👌👍😊 @cycleworkscalgary @klimmotorcycle @rynopower_canada #spyoptics #goggles #jeremymcgrath #foundation #bcorcs #PNWMA #amsaoffroad #dirtyboy250 #250XC #KTM #enduro #vision (at Training Ground) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvE28abBVMj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k1raw2ic02zq

The 70th annual Piston Run race report. Thanks to the #gvmc for a race that was fun flawless and awards done by 4 pm. That was the toughest race of the year for me! HS format. Cut off 1h45m for us. 31 km loop mostly single track. Got off to good start in 3rd right behind the fast guys. 😀 Messed up a turn and missed a bridge. 😭 Back to 8th, made cut off, then moved up to 6th. Another 315 bike fell off a bridge so I thought this 315 should drop the rear wheel over the edge. 👊 Pushed across and finished strong. My old age max heart rate is 164bpm but I hit 191bpm and burnt 2200 calories. The course was slick and rocky so it was difficult to go fast enough to smooth out the trails. @cycleworkscalgary 250XC was great with the @ridedunlop AT81EX tire and @klimmotorcycle gear but the @rynopower_canada kept me going until the end. 👍 #pnwma #dirtyboy250 #KLIMLife #rynoarmy #250XC #harescrambleracing #RMDRA #CycleWorksCalgary #chipmunk (at Chilliwack, British Columbia)

Chuwels Challenge was more like survival. I loved every minute of it. On Saturday we rode the AA loop including the Pro Zone. I've always wanted to ride that trail. It's no joke! After at least 4 of us dehydrated our selves the thunder storms started. Rain dumped down to take care of the dust. 🌩🌩 I had a great first half of the race where I was actually racing. Senior experts don't allow for any mistakes. Eventually about half way by the gas stop I started to gas out. My heart rate would not recover so I struggled the second half just to finish the race. I ended up 11 th place. There was a big line up on the start line (photos). @gkmamoto #gmka did a great job of the race course and the event. I've never been started by a guy @quintinraasch 100 feet up on the air before 👍 Thanks to @cycleworkscalgary my 2020 250 XC TPI worked flawless. @spyoptic goggles were perfect @RynoPower and @klimmotorcycle gear were awesome too #pnwma #dirtyboy250 #KTM #250XCTPI #kamloops #singletrack #racing #racingforfun (at Chuwhels Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2N9ZNpgy06/?igshid=1xxnha2tpo6p7

The monkey wrench 100 was on some big mountains. This video gives it some perspective. It really felt like some long climbs and descents and you can see it on the vid. #dirtyboy250 #KTM #250XCTPI #monkeywrench #PNWMA #enduro #singletrack #lifebehindbars #whataview (at Lytton, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzijcmCAy3x/?igshid=f9gsy0vywu6t

NVDRA Bar Bender race report⠀ I had a ton of fun being challenged to the max. I'm in the Senior Expert class and got to start on the 5th line. I was really happy to be able to get 2 laps through the A loop relatively unscathed. I did tag a tree lightly and it popped off the number plate which I stopped to put in my backpack before I lost it. 👌 Most of the B riders were very polite to move over for us since the A loop put us behind the B riders about 10km into the loop. I stopped twice to drink an extra bottle of water from the Checkers and a wonderful fan at the gas stop. Helmet off, chugging water 😄 plus my hydration pack. I'm really surprised that I didn't fall over more.⠀ I went for a start this time and got the holeshot but Wayne passed me in the first corner and then another in the second. I went off track and that's when I saw Damian and another rider turning and I spun a u-turn. So now I'm in 5th? That's the last time I knew what place I was running in until the lap was over. I didn't think I wanted to do a second lap. So, I stopped at the timeout party place and discovered I had 20 minutes to wait. Next move? #Braap I'm racing forward to that 2nd lap.⠀ The only place that I made passes was on the A loop or on some gnar in the B loop. At one point on the first lap I got past a boat load of riders on a gnarly hill and then I had clean air for 30 minutes 🙌 Second lap saw a lot of stopped riders and many stops to see if they were injured or to get details on what they needed.⠀ If it wasn't for a badass KTM 250XC from @cycleworks, a great mix in the drink system from @rynopower_canada that really helped stave off the cramping, @spyoptic googles to see and some @klimmotorcycle Mojave gear that was like AC when I was rolling I wouldn't have been able to get through the first lap let alone 2.⠀ In the end I'm very proud of my 4th place finish and rising to the challenge. I don't feel that I'm into "race shape".......yet, but I'll get there. It just takes a little longer these days. 😂⠀ #PNWMA #offroadracing #KTM #husqvarna #dirtyboy250 #2stroke #seniorexpert #toooldforfast (at Merritt, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/By0SqD0AReO/?igshid=k2ejnfo28k72

Volunteering at the Bar Bender race. This is the A loop! Or what I saw of it. The last picture is the trail out. There was write a few there helping for the race June 16 near Merritt. Check out the videos, they are entertaining. #dirtyboy250 #PNWMA #KTM #husqvarna #250XC #chainsaw #tophandleclub (at Nicola Valley Wild) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx6K5rlA23X/?igshid=1h0dq5fahls9s
