Flat tire at the US Open

I spent this past weekend at Mountain Creek resort in northern New Jersey for the US Open of Mountain Biking. I always look forward to the US Open because It's very close to home and one of the biggest American races. I won there as a junior but have been having bad luck since then. In 2009 I crashed, 2010 I was injured and then this year I flatted in the qualifier and didn't make the cut to race Sunday's final. I got some riding in at the bike park there Sunday and was able to watch my teammates ride to podium finishes which was really cool. Today I fly to Scotland for the second round of the World Cup at Fort William. I'm really looking forward to it and hoping to improve on my 29th place from the first World Cup in South Africa. See ya in Scotland!!
