race team formation
hey dudes,
I just signed up for the 18hrs of Fruita (http://www.emgcolorado.com/race_fruita_festival.html) bike race in May and I've partnered up for duo with Randy Johnson. We're pretty stoked as it will be both our first times racing in the duo category and on single speeds. I think that April will be one of the most painful months on the bike I've ever spent in order to get prepared for this race.
But if you have never done an endurance race this is a good one to try as it is relatively close to Denver and the course is kind of tame (~1/2 hour laps around a reservoir - so not much climbing)
rock out!

get out bro...
Happy March everyone!
Nick from Aloha bikes and I headed out for a kick ass day in the sun. We rolled out of my place around high noon and went over to Sean's house for a beer via dry park rd which is an awesome dirt road that traverses the mountains and keeps you off of the the valley floor. It has a series of good climbs, some rollers and then a 3-5 mile descent to Glenwood Springs. Today it featured mud, ice, snow and lots of puddles which left me jealous of Nick's fenders.
We had a beer at Sean's, re-lubed/cleaned the chains and headed up to Rankin's mom's house for some ping pong. After Nick and I slaughtered (survived) the climb we stumbled in for a beer and Dalene hooked it up with some nachos. We had to cut our stay short in order to make it back before the sun dropped and on our way back along the bike path one of our brethren shed his rack for us about 50 ft off the path. check out Nick with the score, 4x4 & its going on the bike shed! bikes are where its at!!
rock out - nettles
