The 38/26 2×9 experiment

Posted October 14th, 2009%

38 teeth

After trying out the 40 tooth big ring for a while I needed to investigate the 38. The only time I spun out the 40-11 was on long road downhills so I it seemed like I could go even lower and stay in the dog full time. I also wanted . . . → Read More: The 38/26 2×9 experiment

Green machine

This bike came to me from Jimbo. I was over at his house picking up stakes to use at the Red Bug Challenge and he said he wanted to get the bike out of his garage. He suggested we raffle the bike at the race. Sounded good so I took . . . → Read More: My Bike: The Green Machine

I can put the hurt on the 23

Posted September 2nd, 2009%

I figured it was time to put on a new chain. The old one is a little stretched but not too bad. Put on the new chain and all is good EXCEPT the 23 cog. That mother trucker wants to skip all over the place when it’s in on the 23. All 8 of the other . . . → Read More: I can put the hurt on the 23

First day of school 2009

Posted August 24th, 2009%

This morning wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. Getting the boy out of bed at 6:30 was a little challenging but not too bad.

Posted May 19th, 2009%

Went up to Thomaston, GA with Chris, Jim and Darren saturday morning to recapture my youth at one of my favorite race courses in the southeast.

GSC #2 Flat Rock Park

Posted April 27th, 2009%

This race was about half as exciting as East Macon. My class having only 6 guys was disappointing to say the least. I’ll choose to believe the threat of rain was the reason for the low turnout. Any other reason would be depressing.

The course was fun with a good combination of short hills, tight singletrack and . . . → Read More: GSC #2 Flat Rock Park
