I really do not care what the final outcome of the 2006 tour is this picture gives me chills every time I see it. Not only does it it symbolize the story of Floyd snapping the wrists of the best cyclists in the world but, also the struggle that is still going on. Floyd's last chance at apple is underway I hope he is finally recognized for his achievements. This picture is going to be taped up everywhere for me this winter. I need to focus like Floyd excuse me while I practice wheelies on my road bike.

seasons end

With the last cross country race completed I look back at how I did over the season and how I feel about my proformance and I am disapointed. Sure I had some highlights such as moving up to a cat4 and the 5th place team finish at Burnin'. I just feel as if I slowly deteriorated over the season. I gained weight back and just didnt feel like putting in the hours of training needed to stay compedetive. Next season I will be moving up to expert class on the NORBA circut. I some how have to find my focus through the winter in order to stay light and get stronger for next season. Either way I just am not feeling the cycling love right now.

pe@ce~

New again

So i just dropped a G on to my bikes and as the burning sensation i have in my right ass cheek fades i must say the girls are looking pretty fly. I completely overhalled the SS. Geting ready for 24 hours of Landahl. and i put some XTR shifters on Airin just because i figured out how to get them for free. Now if i could just solve this problem of feeling tired all of the time and get my ass out and ride i might be worthy of the bikes i owen. Pictures to come.

Home Again

With the risk of sounding like a broken record COLORADO WAS AWESOME!!!!11 I could not have picked a better group of guys to ride with the. The mountains, the single track, catching Downhillers, it was amazing. THANX to Brennen for letting me crash with them.

My 2 weeks of 2 wheels in over. But the riding/racing/training is just about to heat up again. Despite missing the Gateway Cup I should be pretty busy between Norba races and crits. I am even getting some invites to be on teams for 24hr of Landal and Burnin' at the Bluffs. This is still up in the air. First and formost is the Cape Race. I have never been on this course so it should be interesting. I really hope that I can break my 4th place finish streak I have going on.

Lastly I hope all went well for Team Seagal and DRJ at Rapture in Misery.

fairwell

Yesterday was my last day of riding here in Moab. I got up early and rode from my camp to the Porcupine Rim trail. I was a 30 mile loop with a couple thousand feet of climbing then an AMAZEING decent into some unmatched single track. Later I went to the Monitor and Meramec trail but didnt have it in me to do the entire figure eight and copped out finishing with only 10 miles.

I has once again Been a blast riding here In moab. I have 98miles on the mountain bike and 129mile on the road bike. I climbed a mountain, ran out of water, broke a chain, bent derailure hangers, and didnt get once flat tire.

From here it is on into Colorado where I will meet up with Chris and some of the guys from DRJ. I am not quite sure where but I'm thinking that I would hold u in Crested Butte then head to leadville and watch Landis, Armstrong, and ross so who can ride 100 miles faster My money is on Landis.
