The time had arrived! All the nerves and anticipation were finally over. I was wondering how my vision of joining the hashtag Enduro guys with the Downhill guys would work out.

Thrombi was a new challenge. Taking on a event that is outside of what Adventure life normally does always has it pros and cons.
