By Scott Fitzgerald

Deep down, or, for some of us, right on the surface, we are all a little competitive on our bicycles.

When I see a green light, my pace quickens, knowing that Jackson traffic lights only allow the most determined through before turning yellow. As I head up Cache Creek and see the chuck wagon train ahead, my desire to pass before the two-track is not only for convenience, but also a sense of victory.

No matter how slim my chances of riding away from him on my way up the King, I will always attack my friend T.D. before the top.

What I don’t do is spend the time and money traveling to all the regional races even though the competition is alluring. For those of you who relate to these statements there is the United Cyclists of Jackson Hole (UCJH) Wednesday night mountain bike series at Teton Village. There are only two races left, one tonight and the last one next week.

Registration is at 5:30 p.m. at the Pepi Stiegler building, with the races starting at 6:15 p.m. Check out www.ucjh.org for all the details. See you there!
