That's me!
Took a lot of effort to get that shirt pink and covered in slogans. It says "Bugger the hill, wanna go down on me?"....that's one of my favourites.
My right knee pad kept creeping down on the second run, so this must have been my second run.

^^ Good job, G! Hey, that vid actually played for me. Course looks like it was a fun one; terrain very reminiscent of around here.

First ride in over a week today. Just a two hour spin at the default trail. Felt great. Back from vacation it was straight to work, then the next days off were dumping down rain. Today was the first day with decent weather that I was able to get out.

Today was Halloween, and my friend and i rode our hardtails, doing street just around our neighborhood.
My friend was riding my Trek, and i rode some kid's bike that was a Merida with a really crappy drivetrain...but i didn't mind, the fork was so darn plush!!
Nuthin much, but just wanted to share.

Got out and dialed the fork in and tried some new meat on the front of the hardtail. I ate crap super hard in a rockgarden covered by leaves. I'll be needing a new skid lid, I slammed mine into a rock about the size of a bowling ball.I'm seeing a strange aura coming off of things. I'm thinking a concusion,everything seems really loopy.My shoulder and neck are all kinds of sore.

I loved running those tires out west! Really not too heavy or slow for how large an air volume it is. Lasted really long out there as well. It would kick ass out here with a little softer rubber. Digging the Kenda Stickee Rubber bit more out east instead.

No pics, but the Trek demo van came by today and I got to try out a Top Fuel 9.9SSL and a Roscoe. Both were extremely sweet. They did a crazy good job with the Roscoe; it felt like an XC bike but floated over everything.

We will miss seeing you in that lid. Better the lid than the head, glad you didn't do that last weekend!

Yesterday I did the first race of my first series, the Coconut Cup in the south florida area. Third race overall. I came in 6 out of 12, very happy with that! I tried to get out fast in the beginning but choked up on an easy root out of nervousness and went from 4 to last, had to catch up the entire time, chain fell off but learned a lot! Next one is in 2 weeks got some homework to do before then...
