From Our Family To Yours

Spent the past 4 days at Wally World with the family doing stuff like this:























4 days of eating crappy food and no riding. That is a slippery slope. It kind of felt good to let things slide.

The Night Train

The Night Train was out last night and was eleven strong. The pace started out mellow and nice on the 1st climb (Canyon Hollow) but turned anti-social on climbs 2 (Ghost) and 3 (Canyon Hollow again).



I usually avoid Clarks any more during the day due to the traffic but the night rides are different. No crowds at night. Although we did run into two guys coming up Clarks last night.

Here is a tip....we all know the yield rule. The climber has the right away and the downhiller must yield. But if you are climbing and see a rider coming down. Don't keep hammering. Let up a little. Give the downhiller a chance to brake and shed some speed.

Clarks at night seems twice as fast. Someone will eventually end up in the ER but no injuries last night (and Rico was even wearing the cursed yellow shoes)

We fueled up on pancakes and bacon at the local Village Inn. And I actually drank some water (may have been the only water I drank yesterday besides the half bottle during the ride).

Anyone know how much a new kidney goes for on ebay?

The Perfect Race For Mark

Dear Mark,

I found the perfect race for you. I know how much you like single speeds. Choose your gear wisely and please don't complain about how hard it is. Good luck.

Wish You Were Here

I think what Fatty and Grizzly meant to say was "Hey, I really wish you were here suffering along side me instead of sticking that camera in my face".

By the way, who do you think has the better form? Fatty or Grizzly?

FLY Jerseys Are Here

The first shipment of FLY gear arrived today. Just in time for PCP2P. For those of you still trying to figure out your racing kit for Saturday, consider this jersey.

They look and feel very fast.


The colors turned out really nice. The sizing runs true. I tried on the large and it fits perfect. Fitted but not tight. And the sleeves are longer and looser than most jerseys. I couldn't be happier.

Still a few left if you want one.

Good luck to those racing PCP2P this weekend!
