MILACA YA KNOW

This coming Sunday is the Milaca CX. I love this race (probably because it is the only race I have ever gotten a top 10 in, 8th last year). PROOF

Cat 4 race is at 12:30, coarse opens at 11.

Leaving from my house at 10:30, who's in. AMO's? Pimp Gould? Charles? BIG JIM?

Last year I took my MTN bike and did a lap after the race, ohhhh yeeaaahhh!

Bombing the hill after the RR bridge!

Sunday Morning

8 am - Wake up

8:03 - Check Doom's blog to check the if where and when of the "Sunday Ride" (he had already had a post complaining about his leaves, wich I have yet to touch in my yard)

8:05 - Quick dump

8:10 - Start getting dressed. What do you wear when it is 40 degrees, a good chance of snow and 30 MPH winds from the west? (Oh and that is quick)

8:15 - ride to shop

8:25 - Still riding

8:35 - Still riding

8:40 - Thats right I live east of the shop. Brutal wind!

It was much better when we hit the woods. Mike led us around on the granite outcropping and trails at Quarry park. Fun technical stuff.

That's right I missed the night ride tonight, Bummer.

Full Monti

Saturday I went with all my freinds, ok I went alone, to Monticello to ride the new and revised trails. Sam, Jim and Lance were there working in the morning and Track star Ted joined us for a lap. Amo showed up after working in the morning but pulled out his foot long, sub that is, and said he would eat lunch and wait for Stone who was in route to ride. Sam and Jim lagged behind and marked the new trail and Ted and I were led around by Lance. Monti now boasts around 15 miles of mostly singletrack.
Run reverse from it's previous life it throws the hillier section at you first and the gentler rolling section last.

Great job to Jim, Sam, Lance and who ever else helped work on this old/new trail.

Monti

Headed to Monti tomorrow, Meeting at 10:30 at McStop, anyone?

Tired tires

Rode two laps tonight at the North Loop with Jim. After the rain last night it was a little slick in the corners and the two year old Larson LUST's are shot. The center knobs are almost gone on the rear and I have about 5 spots where Stan's is leaking out between rides. Time for some new rubber.

I will be sad to see them go in the two years I have not had a flat or ever had to add more than a few psi to them. They roll fast, are light and grip well on everything except mud. I would get another set but want to try something different, we'll see. Any suggestions?

10/21/08

And again.

Did another two laps at the No Loop tonight, just because I could.

Saturday will be my Monti day, anyone? No races for me this weekend. Next weekend Milaca CX!

I need more of this...

Just got in from the night ride, ton of fun. No broken chains. 12 riders.

I would like to ride another night of the week also... maybe wednesday or thursday.

Thinking about Monti on sunday... anyone?

Tranny problems

On last nights ride I managed to break my chain 3 times. That sucks!
