just flipping thru some pics and got excited for next years bike fest. which will be june 20, 21, 22.

have you raced under the city lights with the streets packed?

1-3 inches of snow

i think ill go for a ride. today was 4 days in a row for me riding out side in sub 30 degree weather. its nice no one is on the trails well except the avid hunter or today it was search rescue bombing down the snowmobile trail. he almost took me out 2x on the way out and on the way back. today was prob. the fastest of the rides. due to the fact at yesterday morn when i rode it was cold and then it got up near 40 and melted some of the soft snow which later froze and became fast. yesterday was fun due to the fact we headed out ot the golf course for a lil cart path session. the new course is full of climbing no wonder why they dont allow you to walk the course. heres a few pics of today ride.

its like xmas but with guns

tomorrow starts the best time of year. thats right its deer season for boom sticks. the only problem is i have classes. im pretty sure it should be illegal for any school to be open during the first week of this great time of year.

Whats alan thinking....

ill tell you what mr. alan "i talk shit" smith is thinking in this picture. Little does he know that this picture was actually taken after the ore to shore 2008. Right after he found out that I just demolished him by a good 10 mins. allen is wondering why he talked so much shit when he cant back it up. so alan when you come up to heaven which is north of the bridge make sure you keep that rubber side down and look out for the beach sand in the 2008 ore to shore. if you get lost while on the trail just look for the dust storm infront of you because thats where ill be. train hard young one!!

p.s. this picture was taken by the one and only Lederhosen

GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE RACIN AT THE ICEMAN THIS WEEEKEND!!!!

The Minority Report

this is true in so many ways........this weekend. well the weekend ended up being great succuess. sat as i arrived to see this huge cx course. it was amazing no single track woods section and lots of hills. i found my competition Wish a mile. we rode aroudn warming up and he figured he was gonna hurt due to the fact during warm up the ol hrm was reading 160 sometin. the gun went off and hte pace was fast and aggressive the whole time. lap time was around 7 10 or so which was a good pace if i coulda kept it up. 4th lap i blew up and found my rhythem again keeping down in the low 7's again. this propeled meinto 11th for the day. we sat around and watched the fast doods in the a's. just looked painful. later on that night we met up with the homeboys at the usually spot RO brewery. Sunday was the same thing as the brosif and i arrived at the course but this time the course was ran backwards and with more people in the field and faster. kept my frist couple laps under 7 mins and was doing good moving through the field put down some herriman style pickin off people. Felt good and hit the wall on the last lap and got passed to either go into 10th or 11th agian today. Great weekend.

Great success

i did pretty well today in the race. i raced killer B's which was hella fast but great. i didnt know how i was gonna hold up with my cold and lack of training. but due to the course being a cx and no woods play in there i did great. i ended up 11th out of 20 or so many droped. more on the report later on.
