I took Friday off (with some tired legs) and went to CamRock3 with Mike Darlington on Saturday. There was a ton of new trail that was built this Spring with an IMBA grant and some serious trail hours. It was super twisty and totally makes up for how boring and flowless the field trails are.
Sunday morning I did some intense intervals through Sun Prairie for a little under two hours. I'd planned on doing an MTB ride after work, but we didn't get out of the shop until 6:30 and I was pretty tired. I went home and slept.
On Monday I had a great opportunity to meet and design a trail with Jay Hoots. We also went for a ride at Jim's, and it was one hell of a time. Jay's a super friendly guy, but what impressed me even more was his ability to teach what he knows and make it all very fun.
We designed and flagged a flow course on the new property (think of a 4x or mountain cross course for a single rider) and it'll get dug and built throughout the rest of the week.
I then went and rode a full 8-mile lap of Jim's, and while coming around on my second lap found Jay and Dewayne riding with Dacko. I jumped on and tried my best to follow three guys who are all faster in technical stuff than I am. Also, they were on Roscoes and Remedys, while I was on a Procaliber. I rode some tough lines by accident and really pushed myself to keep up with Dacko. Jay's one hell of a rider. He manualed most of Pine Shadows and was boosting every little bump he could find.
My current dilemma: XO-1 or Roscoe?

XO-2 hands down.
