The Hope 1000 km mountain bike race started today and oh what a day it way. Started in a downpour, rode out of it into the mountains and proceeded to climb some pretty spectacular peaks. Unfortunately Switzerland had gotten an insane amount of rain this year and the conditions were absolutely abhorrent. Mud and mud soup. 

I felt really strong physically and mentally the majority of the time. Only hiccup came when night came and when I tried my light it gave the the red light of doom. That’s to say my light is fried. Probably should have taken the thing off when I was riding through sideways rain for the first 3 hours. 

Was able to get off the mountain using my backup light but didn’t trust it enough to try another pass with it. So I had to bunk down earlier than I was hoping, although only by about 25 miles. 

Definitely stings to watch the point end of the race ride away into the night, but there is still an insane amount of racing yet to come and I actually feel pretty good going forward with a good nights rest.
