Our ride at Alifia. I'm the second to the right. First man is Stephen Karras. Second is Morgan Connell. Then Cody Burnett, Shelby Burnett, Jared Coker, Frank Coker, David Jones, Jordon Karras, and Chris Burnett.
Yesterday at Alifia was awesome. We pre-rode the FSC course. The course is pretty technical due to all of the rain. Some parts were very sketchy, but most of the trails were OK. We had our maintenance day at the shop. Had to get a new Hawk Racing BB30 bottom bracket. Smoothest bottom bracket ever. Absolutely recommend it.

Typical Saturday

Just another Saturday. Really itching to ride today, so I talked my mom into doing a little road ride. Had a great time riding with her! Pushed out 21 miles and was smooth and fast going up Hayter Hill. Finished up the ride and went on in to work at LeRoys. My life is exceptionally good! Thanks to my God and my family for the perfect life!

When life gives you lemons...make lemonade. The trails are too wet to ride so I figured today would be a great day to detail my bike. Maybe a little road ride later when it cools down a little bit.

Got a road ride in at FlatWoods in Tampa today with my dad, brother, and Rick Roebuck and his son Jacob. Rick and I made it 40 miles at a pretty good pace. For 30 miles our average was 22mph. I turned off my garmin after for a slow recovery ride for about 10 miles. Had an amazing time.

Training last Thursday was pretty fun. We didn't really kill it at Carter Road, but we a ton of recently fixed technical trails. Only managed to ride about 10 miles, but it was a lot of fun. We found several new lines on trails that were much harder and faster. If you ever want to view my rides, follow me on strava by searching Samuel Connell.

Finishing the first lap with a little fun!

This guy was pretty cool. He played music while he was riding. We came down the drop on the Beast and I heard a loud crash behind me. As I came to the end of the dirt road, he asked me if I heard him crash. It was pretty funny.
