Swope Trails.

The new trails at swope keep getting better. I've been planning on doing a little photo gallery for it, but mr. curbdestoryer beat me to it.

He did a great job, check it out, HERE!

Auburn

Almost forgot to post my thoughts on Auburn RR. 67 miles, longest one I have done so far. Matt O got away with tilford and mills at mile 5, there were 3 mercy and 3 tradewind guys to keep the pace at a tolerable level. At mile 40 the ref said they had a 2:50 gap. Eventually there came the attacks, one by one there would be an attack by mercy, then tradewind, then bahati. Eventually everyone was getting pretty tired and an attack went that looked like it could stick. I went too and was with a group and we put in a minute pretty quickly. There were two tradewind, 1 mercy, me and 1 bike shack(kent). We were all taking big pulls and before we hit "that hill" everyone started to back off and not pedal so hard, by the time we hit the hill Bill from tradewind started pedaling hard and eventually dropped me. We had 10 miles to go and I was shot. About two minutes later the next group caught me, Brian Jensen, PHillip from Bahati and Joe from Mercy were there. As I found myself in the back of the group Brian attacked and everyone was able to stay with him but me. I didn't have anything left but still felt good about how I raced the first 55 miles.

Matt stayed away the whole time with Tilford/MIlls and got 3rd.

St. Joe Mtn. Race and Carbon

Got 2nd in St. Joe 3 hour mtn race. JP and I road together easy to get a feel for the trail and warm up and I was able to put 5 minutes into him on the 2nd lap. 3rd lap he got some time back and 4th lap I crashed and he passed me. I felt tired by then and was happy with 2nd.
St. Joe has awesome trails, very hilly with little rocks. Lots of climbing.


Above is a pic of my new full carbon 20 lbs mtn. bike. I was easily converted to full carbon for mtn. after many repairs a local man has made to bikes for our team. He repairs frames for $50-100 compared to the $400 calfee in california will charge you.

Dano's wheel is below. Please click here to see how he broke it.

Jason's ti frame was cracked at the dropout, no way could you repair it with welding, steel, or ti. But it is fixed with carbon.
