Working out the kinks...onto 'Build' phase...Fair Hill & Greenbrier wait in April...

Full Metal Jersey...& Bibs...

got hooked from the crew at T6...my team kit package came in the mail...stoked! Jersey and Bibs are subtle and killer...will make their debut this sunday...

That's right...

This sunday, a nice preseason XC race...Rockburn Reloaded...will be a good indicator of the fitness, the feel, and the legs right before the 'build' begins...

Excited to get the season under way...

Pics soon? I hope so!

Have a good one!

T.S.O.T.M.

if you know me than you already know my love for the t-shirt...drawers, boxes, and bags are full of old skate, snow, and lifeguard shirts from times past...

the boys at TwinSix run a T-Shirt Of The Month...they print 100 of them...get'em while their hot...go on sale 9am CST...you know my finger is on the trigger!

2009 XC CAMPAIGN

it feels real good and motivating to put a full schedule together...starting off early this year with the reloaded in rockburn...it will be a good indicator of where i am at fitness wise...and bike handling wise...all around wise...

tested on saturday and had good results...beat my goal for the month...

got word from USA cycling that my upgrade request was accepted for 'cross...moving from CAT 4s up to the CAT 3s...stoked on the challenge i have set before myself...going to go after it...

will try to get some pics up later this week of the beard...among other stuff...

life is good...lots of snow the other day led to an extended weekend for me, the chick, and the puppies...a delay this morning & was able to get the ride in way early...i felt half asleep through the warmup...

trying to get my hands on this book:


good times!

Re-motivate...

last post...may30th, 2008?!?!
crap...talk about a long time ago...so much has gone on...i almost do not even know where to begin...

xc 08 season went real well...qualified and rode at nationals...rode ok there...was not ready for the amount of climbing...finished in top 10 of both the 'wake' series and the 'crankymonkey' series...not bad...even made the podium at fountainhead...won a sweet '3rd place' pint glass!




'cross was awesome...had a great second season...wore a skinsuit...hit up more races...highlights were 7th place at Wayne Scott...10th at Rockburn...drove to the Jersey and raced the USGP...it was unreal mud and awesome...raced until december 7th...





still have no digi cam...still broken...so pictures will be slim...going to try and get stills of my training compound...been out on some spins on the mountain rig already in '09 which is a goal this season...grew a beard...rode in the snow...

turned 30...goodbye twenties...

will fly the T6 flag exclusively...easy choice...great threads and great support...

going to post the 'XC' schedule later...

stoked to be back...

and we're off...season opener...fair hill...greenbrier...twinsix...

right on, right on...i have been way slacking on keeping this blog going...tons going on in my life...so far so good for the first 2 races of the season...fair hill was a sweet introduction to paintrain...finished 11th...see collage...greenbrier was a mudfest complete and utter mudfest...unable to get any solid pics...2 bike washes...3 human showers...2 laundry cycles to get everything clean!...finshed 12th...qualified for MTB nationals in july...stoked...goal one...check...
on the rad news front: received my first real sponsor...Twin Six Alternative Cycling Clothing...they were looking for riders...i applied...now i am flying the T6 loud and proud...it is a solid company with awesome gear and awesome owners...
