But feeling good on May 27th, he knew it was time to ride the pass.

And I had just planned a trip to ride the hot route from Chamonix to Zermatt on mountain bikes with two of my good friends, Matt and Jeff Nets.

And we had just been in Lander camping, finally got back on the bike, felt good, rode there a bunch, came back to town.

I was like, I'm feeling pretty good.

I think I'm ready for a pass lap.

Even got my GoPro out for it, which doesn't happen often, you know? And I was on a bit of a heater.

I just rode, pedaled up, rode Jimmy's mom down.

So Pat, I want to ask you as someone who rides these trails, how do you prepare yourself to take on these trails and ride them and have a good time and kind of get down to the bottom?
