Just call me shorty....
A hazing incident capped off last weeks ride. Urinal flavored recovery cakes anyone?
Yeah, I'm in the land of the Grand Canyon right now, but I keep reflecting back to last weekends team ride at Allamuchy. Actually a lot of this winters rides have been great for many reasons, more on that some other time. The reason why I'm looking back is because it's been my dream of mine for quite a while to be involved in making racing in New Jersey a much more competitive venture. I like to travel to races and one of the things I hear over and over again is "why are there not a lot of strong guys from N.J.?" I'm embarrassed by this. We have the best trails in the country. Lets represent!! Correct me if I'm wrong but my thought is, we avoid each other...We need to work together to make ourselves stronger. This is why it gives me great pleasure to announce that I have teamed up with the strong men of team BTR. It's about the rides, races and working together to make sure we all hit the podium. Lots of raw talent I see over here. Bicycle Tech Racing plus my existing sponsors Tomac Bikes, Gu energy, Schwable and Industry Nine I see a great 2012 ahead for us all....

Groundhog day...
La Milagrosa awaits
Winter has been kind to me this year. All of us really. With temps in the 40's and 50's, we've experienced the type of winter reserved for the Mid Atlantic boys not us Northeasterners. It's rare to be in normal riding shoes in winter, let alone without shoe covers. Even more rare to be in the woods still. Yesterday on my ride I only had a base layer and a vest. Trust me, I'm not complaining...
My winter will officially end March 1st. Soon I'll be hitting the sweet trails of the Arizona desert. Originally I was going to go to the Pro XCT opener in Texas March 3rd but I'm registered in California the weekend after (Bonelli) for the triple crown, and with a lack of any real training I'd rather get a few days of riding instead of the race. I'm already regretting this decision, often checking VZ navigator for the best route from Tucson to Texas. At 14hrs drive time, It's probably not gonna happen.
So I'll go to Arizona on the first, ride for a few days, drive to Cali for Bonelli and then back to Arizona for a few days of rest before James comes to town. We have tentative plans for the 14th to the 20th. I wonder if coach has any idea what pupil is in for? I'm hopeful to be recovered enough to race the following weekend. MTBNJ short track and maybe the MASS endurance opener. It's a busy March and April for me. Some have said "I'll be toast by July". I say "I don't care". Improvement fuels the fire and this year I've been improving. I think. Either way, I've been having fun....
