Hardtail Race Weapon

About 6 months ago I had a little too much to drink and clicked “buy now” on a cheap carbon hardtail frame on eBay. At $289 my drunk brain could not resist. I did have buyers remorse… still do. The frame arrived quickly and in fine shape but I really shouldn’t have bought it.

FSC #1 Gainesville

Woke up early and rode down with Tim and Nancy on Sunday morning. Arrived to mud, humidity and bugs. First reaction was, “ah crap!”. I was ready to go though, no matter the conditions.

I got some valuable course info from Graham and David. That along with Tim’s knowledge of the course helped get my mind . . . → Read More: FSC #1 Gainesville

Light wheels are like getting a jet pack

Just got a wheel upgrade from my man Kent and it’s amazing. My old wheels are 2006 Crossmax SL’s weighing 1685 grams total. It’s funny, but I always thought these wheel’s were light cause they had “SL” in the name. Marketing.

First day of school 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. He was ready and out the door to the bus stop right on time. Lil E seemed excited to go to school but once we got there she . . . → Read More: First day of school 2009

Ahhhh summertime is coming to an end

Good thing, less heat and rain. Bad thing, less daylight. In the mornings I’ve started to feel and smell just a little bit of fall in the air. Kids start school next week. Truth be told I can’t wait to get them out of the house. They’re going crazy… that’s no joke. I really think they’re . . . → Read More: Ahhhh summertime is coming to an end
