Mellow Classic 2009

The MTB crew headed to Austin, Texas for a day at Mellow Johnny's to discuss the XX group with staff and customers during packet pick up for the inaugural Mellow Classic MTB race at Juan Pelota's ranch.

We then headed to the ranch in Dripping Springs to set up the big rig so we could take care of any needs riders would have, as well as build a zone for XX to be experienced and touched.  The days proceeding the race were cold and wet producing a more technical ride during Sunday's race.  XX athletes rocking full groups including various suspension choices, were non other than, Lance Armstrong, Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski, Heather Irmiger, Chris Lieto and various SRAM staff.  Jeremy and Heather both won with authority and our vary own Chris Hilton went the distance.
All in all, it was a great event and Lance was a gracious host despite having flatted during his own race...  Please feel free to check out the photos from our adventure in Texas...
