…is killing me. I *should* have my new 29er Thursday. My evening is all booked though. I should say that my wife’s evening is booked, which means I’ll have to stay home with the kiddies. That is fine. I like staying home with the kids. But on the first day that I have a new […]

Bleh…

…is pretty much how I felt today. I wanted to get in a ride, but the thought of another loop on the same route I do so often on the road bike was not encouraging. I had a nasty headache after work today as well. So I took the rest day and started making a […]

Karl Etzel, founder of Ride424.com recently published an article on the subject of race fees. Specifically race fees and 24 hour events.

I surfed over to Jeff Kerkove’s blog and read that he had been banned from any 24 Hour$ of Adrenalin event for 1 year. Including the upcoming World Championships. Why?

I’ve been really seriously considering making the move to a 29er hardtail. After my rear shock went kaputz on me last night, I decided it was time. So I ordered an ’06 Gary Fisher X-Calibur. How could I resist that shine?!? I am going to swap out some parts off my fuel here and there, […]
