"41"

41 as of yesterday! Iknow its only a number and you are only as old as you feel but there are somedays when I feel like i'm 51 or even 61! It's times like these when I want desperatly to get on the bike because its like taking some kind of youth pill it makes all the aches and day to day hoopla go away for a short time. When i'm on the bike I honestly feel like I did when I first started riding mtb's , you know what I mean when you hit that long tight twisted singletrack and you are just flowing through the woods, faster and faster and you don't want it to end because you know what is waiting for at the end of the ride, so you try and ride just a couple more miles just to savor it just a little longer but a last it has to end . This kind of ride can hold you over luckily for a couple of days until you can escape once more. Ilove everything about bikes and especially riding them, as my wife would probably say i'm addicted. So be it!! There are worse things.. Later..

Lance to do the Leadville 100!!

This is going to be cool to see what Lance can do in this type of race.. My personal opinion is LANCE will train and come into this race and crush most of the competition. He says he is retired but lance is to competitive to just roll in around 9 hrs. I'm thinking it will be him and Dave Weins battling it out for a time around 7hrs. I hope with all the hype around this race that some one will televise it or put it on the cycling.tv on the computer.

Rampages!!

Finally got my Panaracer Rampages and I think I'm going to like them alot. They are big and thats what I need with the rigid fork (little more cush). I ordered these things from Black Dog Bike back in August (I think ) and James could'nt get me any because they sold out in like 5 min. I finally ordered them from another bike shop and James being the nice guy that he is understood. Thanks James!!I can't wait to get out on the trail with these but I will have to wait until Sunday(no hunting on Sunday) , so I don't get shot. Check out the pics and see what you think..Later..go ride!!!!!
