  1. You guys are nuts!

    I'm just watching the Avalanche Trophy on Universal Sports. The bike handling skills of MTB riders are intriguing to say the least. I think I'm going to stick to road and cross.

  5. DNF sucks, getting injured sucks worse

    Participated in a race in the local series on Sunday, stuff just wasn't hitting and I probably should have waved it off. I didn't.

  9. Completed first race

    Took part in a short dirt crit this weekend and did pretty good considering, but I did have a question. In a race, especially at the beginning when things are tight, do you call out passes?
