CX Beauty From A Small Island

Plan A, No. Plan B, No. Plan C, No.

I'm glad I have a flexible coach. I mean in terms of scheduling, not actual gymnastic flexible. Why?

Well from the title my plans were laid out in standard form:

1. CX practice with starts, cornering, and dismounts/mounts the focal point

2. Go to the 'new' old course for some refreshing sights and sounds.

3. Somewhere in the middle turn yourself inside out. Then ride home.

The 'actual' plan was to be out about 2.5-3hrs but...

...all entrances to the park were shut down due to deer season in the park. All three entrances stated the same. The front part of the lake was to be unachieved. Most time I would 'poach' the park. NOT this year, rifle's were in use. Very LARGE rifles echoed through the park matter of factly. I pulled out the wuss card for sure.

So coach now what? Plan A-C was a no go! Shut down by the man! Fast thinking by the coach came up with an alternative plan. Stay close, check out some of the really close flavor. Here are the mixed results in pics.

No trail obstacle is to small or large when a plan is in effect!

I had to have proof that I made it through it! Or got stuck there when they found my body!

Success!

The work paid off for a wonderful view!

Still had these little bastards scattered through out the trail. No flats!

Stairway to Heaven?

A bridge to far?

The photo gives no real depth. That plunge is at least 20ft.

More hidden treasures.

I was busy as a beaver!

Beer of the Week

Now For Something Completely Different

Walking along the clouds

No one feels pain

One just sees gratitude

Few know the feeling

That of the sun

To warm those who need warmth

Otherwise fall behind ones shadow

Only to awaken to a new light

That of which only few see

If possible able to touch

Known to few, wanted by the masses

Those who crave it, never reach upon

One who asks receive

Than a star is thrown

For them to grab for that moment

And hold for an eternity

Metal Sucks?

Yea, Metal Sucks!

Take that back, Metal Rules!

Toeing The Line

Finally! 4 weeks off from racing, with only a handful of rides during that time. I wasn't lapped nor was I last. Not sure if I beat my number though?

I smiled. Happy, Happy!

I suffered. Joy, Joy!

I rode stuff alot were struggling with. Happy, Happy , Joy, Joy!

I'm throughly impressed with the Hed Stinger 6. C2 rims are the way to go! That combined with the 34 Fangos(these are great all-arounders, not mudders Dunnsberry) made for such a cushy ride that my back wasn't a bit stiff or achy. Or it could have been that I was going slow, MEH! Albeit that set up did save me from eating shit on the downhill after the transition from sidewalk to grass downhill.

Photos from the weekend.

mwi crew was represented in Lou Vull! mwi cult is rolling across the Country!

While on the subject of sponsors...

....seems that another sponsor failed their duties!

Other notables from the weekend JJ got 6th? and now is 3rd overall in De Stad CX Series! Roscoe got 5th at Lou Vull day two after crashing for the umpteenth time! Day two was with out a crash. Amazing what can be accomplished if you keep the rubber down!

Oh and why did I sound like a turkey everytime I braked? Well it seems that a brake bolt fell out during the trip to Smithville or during the race. Never had that happen before.

THE END
