Mountain bike racing is not part of what the mix1 team really does, but like a lot of things some of the guys do compete in the off season from road racing. For some that is on the track, for others that is cross, maybe mountain biking, or even running. Each fall the grand daddy of 24 hour mountain bike races is held in Moab, UT, on the same course since the 1st edition in 1995. This year CJ Gauss went down with a team of 5 and raced the co-ed category again. CJ's team was 2nd last year, but stepped up this year to win their category, and was the 6th fastest team out of the several hundred in Moab. CJ flew the mix1 flag the entire race and more importantly the team of 5 consumed 2 full cases of mix1 over the 24 hours to keep everyone happy, well feed, and with happy stomachs. 24 hour races are very hard on one's digestive system and mix1 was the perfect drink for all. On top of that if you are going to stay awake for 36 hours, you better drink something that tastes good.
Not the best picture, but CJ on the right side of the top step, in mix1 hat and vest.
CJ's lap is over, time to sit down, put your feet up, and get ready to race at night.
One has to keep it light during a event like this, so might as well stick your tongue out at the camera guy.
