1st... Frozen Hog 2009

Frozen Hog is the XC season opener. Not a part of any series and predictably in some type of snow, it primary motivation is pure fun and fund raising. Never the less anyone who thinks they are good in the snow show up. 29r's incase you don't look around are taking over the podium and XC races in general and I knew snow was one of there specialties. So I lowered my tire pressure to about 18-25lbs and in the start road away from the pro field with a running start and held the lead until the last 4 minutes of the course and was passed by two 29rs approaching the finish line. They rerouted the course right before the start and I made many wrong turns and even back tracked until I could see second to confirm I was on the right path. I finished 1st in 40+ expert and 3rd overall. I get my 29r in the next week or 2, then the scales will be balanced.

147lbs at 15 yrs old and at 40 yrs old

This time last year I weighed 176lbs. By last July I sat at 150 lbs. Now I sit at 160+lbs. This year I may see as low as 140- 145 lbs. I don't care as long as I get faster.

Ain't nothin changed

I wish life was this easy to balance!

Foreward " is" faster.....much!!

The confusion is complicated from traditional culture in the road racing industry. The last to use progressive materials and technology. The last to clip in, use index shifting, threadless headsets, tubeless, shunning materials like aluminum, carbon etc. The UCI " created a rule to suffocate this knowledge to protect past records set on out dated geometry. Most of the industry is spoon fed from engineers and designers who have little experience in a limited area of cycling and are forced to design inside the UCIs limitations.

Ready... Set...Snooooow!!!!

Jan 3rds " Last Call" cyclocross race A field. I rode off for a lap before slipping to 5th or so.

Got Soul ? Hell Yes !

3rd overall 2008 Utah Masters CX 35+A's

The 2008 cyclocross season was spent trying to hold on to the top 5 riders. With few technical problems to speak of, they simply stripped me me off there wheel as they took turns attacking our lead breakaway. On the final race the current 3rd place racer did not show, forfeiting 3rd to me. 1st on the right, second in the middle. I'm 3rd on the left with the mud mask.
