Let's get serious

Ok. I am ready to put away the Pooh Bear costume for 2011 (atleast till SSWC11 in Ireland). I raced a couple races in it in 2010 including the Xterra Nationals in Ogden. I also raced my Marin Pine Mtn SingleSpeed too! BTW racers don't like being passed by a guy on a SingleSpeed and in a Pooh Bear costume.

I am committed to the Marin Factory Team for 2011. Our sponsors at this point include Marin Bikes (Obviously) Ergon grips, gloves bags, Optic Nerve sunglasses, FSA components. Working on WTB and Louis Garneau. Almost there with GU again. Love all these guys.

Yesterday, 3hrs on a trainer, weights before Yoga Flow then Ab Ripper X baby! Wow I am getting serious.

Upcoming races are super soon, 12hrs in the Papago Jan 8th, El Paso Puzzler Jan 16th, SSAZ Feb 5th, 24hrs Old Pueblo Feb 16th. (We are getting some of the band back together, Yuri Hauswald and Keith, Nat is MIA...)

Happy safe Holidays.

WERD.

Catch up photos

Notice in this pic that my hands aren't on the brakes and there is a 500ft cliff to my right. I came around this corner at Xterra Nationals in 2006 and got surprised by the cameraman. Also notice that I am holding my breath.











Here are some pics over the past few years. I have recently signed back with Ford Modeling. I know my role, I am not the fashion runway guy but I will take the work for catalog and other print. Should earn me some extra dough for bike parts :))))

Epic Rides Whiskey 50

LONG DAY. The 50 miles were not that big of a deal. I was on track for 17th place, like 4:09ish. I was with the lead pack for the first part. I flatted 4 TIMES! I pretty much gave up on any more fixes. I was near the finish, so I thought....

I asked a dude going by to check his odometer to see how many miles left, he said 2. I was like cool I can run it in from here. I could average 15min miles. I WAS 7 MILES OUT!!!!! Needless to say it was a long run in carbon soled shoes.

To add to my bad day, when I hit town walking, a dude and chic on a motorcycle rode by and said " Get on yer bike, FAGGOT!" Nice touch to my finish.

At the end of the day, had a great time with my bros from Scottsdale and Colorado.

Good times.
