Get on the Bus!!

This picture from last season makes me laugh. Its the charge of the Clydesdale train!! The heavy breathers have settled in the rear of the pack and it was an all out battle to avoid the latern rougue position. Who says the race is at the front?

Bikes ARE Hazardous !

You have to be extremely careful with these bicycle contraptions and "KEEP YOUR WEIGHT BACK"---(jackson 2003). However if you do go arse over teacups, it is important to show good form. Keep in mind "YOU CANT GET HURT IN THE AIR" (big dad 2006). The fellow in the pic completely ignored rule #1 which is why he got put in this position to start with. If thats not enough---- He has horrible form! It looks like he is paying hommage to the Great American Hero flight plan. I would of at least thrown down a hell grab fakey or another cool sounding trick. Please.


Road cyclist have a little more to digest concerning hazards on he open road as the following sign deplicts. Notice the passenger getting ready to wack the unsuspecting cyclist wupside the melon with a blunt object. Is anything safe! Perhaps, we should just stay home and eat hot cheetoes and watch Nascar.

24 HRS of Old Pueblo

Young Nick corresponding form Old Pueblo-

Gallup Trails 2010 journeyed southbound to the middle of nowhere Arizona for 24 hours of "endurance" race action. The riders on the team, all ten of them, had a seemingly insurmountable task ahead of them. They had to complete at least one lap each. This meant each rider would have to race about two hours or less a lap on a grueling 16 mile desert trail. Actually only the first two miles were grueling then it was wide open pedal to the metal single track. The team did finish 25 out of 31. Thanks to the very competitive time of Young Nick From Ohio. If Young Nick is pedaling this fast now, just wait to the Dawn til' Dusk race where him and Ottman will probably dominate the duo category. Anywho, the real story at old pueblo was traversing the treacherous dirt road to the event. The day before the event it rained, snowed, sleeted and hailed making the road way more heinous than the single track. Some of the team members and other Gallupian racers turned back and got hotels--lame.
Sorry for the lack of quality pics. I bet our buddy Bill has some fantastic photos.

Bikes with Lights! Is there anything Specialized can't do?

This event supported Pedals for Prisoners.

Harmony Ride??

Here is my friend Bill on his new '08 carbon specialized. He is awful proud of it!

Jack leads the way through the snow----but there were no followers. I wonder why?

Snow---AGAIN

Well we got a bunch of snow here in bueatiful Gallupia. I was feeling good about getting out to ski early in the morning. Ya know the feelin'---like a secret training mission, so you can drop your buddies later in the season. Then, I saw that these three guys we already out enjoin' the artic like weather. The Navajo are tough enduring people. Notice the guy with the cane---he didnt get trapped inside by a little snow.

A little later I got out and skied in the desert with a couple of friends. Its not everyday that you get to ski in the pinion trees and sage brush. Enjoy it while it last! The wind is on the way.
