Sports action!
Lots of it on tap this weekend: 1) I confess, I watched the live updates of the last 40 minutes of today’s tour stage. Pretty good stuff. 2) Bill’s holding steady at 24 Hour Worlds (live updates here). The real race starts at midnight. It should be said, I find the commentary on the linked…

Some words from the hole
I’m still deep down in the ditch after all this week. Little energy or interest in doing much, big appetite, and what started over the weekend as a runny nose morphed into a sore throat and a nasty hacking cough that’s been keeping me up the past few nights. It’s been a long time, if…

A Joke
From Bob on this evening’s Thursday Night Ride (which involved a lot of Cold Smoke consumption): Q: How are a vacuum and a snowboard alike? A: They both suck. Q: And then, how are they different? A: The means by which the dirtbag is attached. Of course.

Paunsaugunt Enduro
A while ago I flippantly mentioned that this weekend would constitute retribution for the KMC. I could say that I ought to watch my words, except I wanted it that way. We know what we want, even if we don’t know it. I spent a while talking myself down from the 96 miler, the first…

Brianhead
It was a good day to be above 10,000′. I did Bunker Creek, out and down BC Left, up BC Right. It made for a very scenic, leisurely 2 hour ride. The tourists were out in force, I passed a bunch of very corpulent and haggard young guys, two Japanese guys riding without helmets, packs,…

Devil’s Backbone race report
Last night I was determined to present a more filtered version of the video I took on Saturday, got sucked into learning iMovie, and was up until 1 am finishing things off. It was a very fun learning experience. So here it is: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5571872&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=c9ff23&fullscreen=1 I cannot overemphasize what a great race this is. The course…

I’m BACK(bone)
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but somehow, it was all worth it. 14:25. Everything came together; except for a lack of acclimitization, gnarly blisters, and sunburn on the back of my knees (!), nothing could have been improved upon. Report and video to follow.
