Like the postal service, neither rain nor shine, snow nor sleet&#8230; Professional mountain bikers are apart from their bikes for only a small handful of reasons: travel, sickness, injury and strategically chosen rest days. When you compete for a living, travel is inevitable, rest days are a rare blessing, and sickness and injury keep you from making money. Training days are paramount. Sure, it\u2019s the race days that pay the bills, but it\u2019s all that time preparing that gets you to the finish line faster.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7794\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_13.jpg\" alt=\"sram_rr_13\" width=\"936\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_13.jpg 936w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_13-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7793\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_12.jpg\" alt=\"sram_rr_12\" width=\"936\" height=\"1404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_12.jpg 936w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_12-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_12-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7792\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_11.jpg\" alt=\"sram_rr_11\" width=\"936\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_11.jpg 936w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_11-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7791\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_10.jpg\" alt=\"sram_rr_10\" width=\"936\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_10.jpg 936w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_10-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_09.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7790\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_09.jpg\" alt=\"sram_rr_09\" width=\"936\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_09.jpg 936w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/sram_rr_09-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What you see is not a video edit pieced together with carefully choreographed and sessioned bits of trail.

Apart from a wee bit of smiling for the camera and the odd stop to play with tire pressures and suspension settings \u2014 the two teammates were also testing their new SRAM<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sram.com\/sram\/mountain\/family\/roam-wheels\"><strong>ROAM 60<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0wheels \u2014 Barelli and Carlson just kept \u201cswimming\u201d up and down Mount Seymour, banging out 33.9 rain-soaked kilometers and climbing 1,324 meters over the 4 hours and 40 minutes we filmed them. They weren\u2019t quite finished when we turned off the cameras, either.
