i dont even know who i am anymore!
my tooth cutting 08′ track season is over. it was great and i learned a lot. despite the fact that i am looking across the room at four silver medals and one bronze, i didnt really have any super strong finishes except for in match sprints.
i really enjoy racing on a regular local basis, i had great times at the charlotte sports cycling winter series short track races for the past few years, and the lowes motor speedway TT series, but racing on the track weekly definitely helps keep one motivated. i know my Eddy Merckx is a hair too small for me now after getting uncomfortably wobbly up front in sprints so i am going to sell it here in the off season to buy a better fitting and more handsome bicycle.
speaking of handsome bicycles, i should see a nice titanium cyclocross frame show up with my name on it from the folks over at Lynskey one state away in Chattanooga TN. so i’ll hopefully get to have a tooth cutting cross racing season this year too. so along with selling the Eddy Merckx, i’ll be selling my Cannondale roadie as well. to fund a build kit. i figure the cross bike will do me double duty just fine on the road.
Track + Cross = skinsuits (and i am skinny as fuck.)

so what else is new? yeah ive done a lot of new stuff. a couple of weekends ago me and the dudes from work took a long weekend vacation to <a href=”http://www.ride.snowshoemtn.com”>Snowshoe mtb park</a> in WV to get rad gnar and do some freeriding and downhilling and ride the lifts up instead of our bikes. i got hooked up with a morewood downhill bike from a pal of a pal for the weekend.
i am remorseful at how much fun i had. i dont have a bike to sell to fund a DH rig.
i hope you all are taking advantage of this nice long weekend to ride your bikes. although besides the quick after work N. Mills River ride, all i have ridden was 37 miles in the woods on my moto this weekend.
