Blake checks from Summit County:

Breck Epic Day 4 is in the books and it was the longest stage of the race thus far and pretty tough.

However, since having back to back days of SUFFERING I decided to ride easy early on and try to actually enjoy my riding. In this process one would think you would end up going slower, since you’re riding at an easier pace.

Up the high country however there seems to be a paradox: go slower to go faster. I had a great day today and finally didn’t get chick’d by Pua, although she did give me a strong run for my money. Today’s climbs were long and hard…..but the descents were awesome.

Tomorrow’s stage is pretty gonna be one of those where I debate bringing hiking boots, but I’m looking forward to it anyway. In more important news, the new season of Bear Grills starts tonight on Discovery I think something exciting happens.

Sager took some pics. Enjoy.

Until Tomorrow- Big Black
