WORD
One real fun thing to do is after you make a trick little piece of riding to hollar out, "Techno challenge No touchdowns." That is a little gem that Steve Heal brought to my life that now brings me regular delieght.

Oh crap I am confused

AHHH

I have not been recovering quickly. I am getting better but it has been awfully slow progress. I do think I have turned the corner.
Here is getting ready for a little trail ride at Smithville. Read more here

Inactivity

I was hoping after my steady progress of recovery on Wednesday and Thursday I would be racing this weekend. I kinda platued on Friday and Saturday. This was my leg a few minutes ago and it is still hurting. Hurry up and wait.

I got a new post up on a the Trailcrew Blog. Go there now.

Slow to Respond

I know I have been bad with the new posts lately. I don't like it a bit, but something has to give at times, and it certainly is not going to be riding. The weekend was good. I raced on my Fixed gear Podium MTB Saturday at the Awesome Boss Cross race. I charged to a win in the SS class and held on for 6th in the open. I had my first Stumpjumper ride Sunday. Oh Oh oH yeah, good stuff. I just finished a post on it for the All New Stumpjumper Trail Crew Site, but it is not quite up yet because all of us riders seem to be pretty horrible at getting all the required "stuff" (internet language for important steps) done. I think I just read an email that one of the riders had hijacked the flickr site accidentaly, and it had to be "re done" (internet language for someone with skills to do some stuff).



Come out tomorrow night. Cross in the dark, there is lights in the park so do not hesitate because life is...too short

GAME ON

I guess this makes it pretty Dang official. My new S Works Stumpjumper showed up in the mail yesterday, and along with it I official became one of the 8 members of the Stumpjumper Trail Crew. Needless to say I am totally stoked to ride this bike and participate in all the good times that the trail crew is going to have. Picking the bike up you can not believe it has 140 mm of travel, I am positive I have NEVER had a lighter geared MTB. Freakishly light.

Along with the bike came a smattering of sweet new gear. Some much needed new shoes, a new S Works MTB helmet topped the list for me. I have been daydreaming about all the sweet adventures next season is going to hold. Ouachita, Syllamo, Big Bear, are the first three things on my mind for 2010. Beyond that I am thinking Stage Race, and maybe one really long race.

Right now I am looking forward to Coronado's Challenge in late Novemeber, and the rest of cross season. I will be out on the trails as much as I can once this mess dries a little bit. And remember to anyone that can come and join us at Riverfront Park for a tuesday cross race. We meet at 6:00 and are racing shortly after. We have had good turn outs the first two weeks. Any lurkers out there wanna give cross a shot this is a good place to come see what it's all about. We had a couple of gals show up this week on brand new MTB's and wanted to see about racing cross. Pretty cool.

We have a new site that Specialized is building to house all of the Trail Crew and I will keep you updated when that is ready. I have been getting the background tour and it looks like it will be pretty cool. It certainly is going to expand my internet skills, and you know girls only like guys with great internet skills.

Tuesday night Cross Race

If you want to do a 40 minute show and go race, meet at the west side of Berkley Riverfront Park, just below the Grand St. viaduct at 6:00 Tuesday night. We will pre-ride the course together and then do a 40 minute race. Hope to see you there.
