ATA Cycle Nominated for 'Dig This' Award

We've been nominated before, been winning by a lot only to loose after they make the ballots secret but lets try this again:

2007 Dig This Awards can be found under that link. We're a few pages deep (make sure you vote for your favorite lesbian night, dive bar, high end sushi, sex shop, urban street wear and denim along the way) but please take a few min out of your work day (i know you don't want to actually work) and vote.

And now a picture of one of my bikes:



maybe I'll get a post about the cluster fuck that was my race later...

Canton Cup

I read this somewhere and its stuck with me, so this is what we're going to do:

"...Tomorrow's CX race will be about nothing but being confident and aggressive for one hour. "

Gin and Juice

The whip is all done for '07:


Ballin!



Industry Nine hooked a hommie up with some dubs so I picked pink hubs and spokes laced to Stan's rims. I'm pretty sure that my father-in-law thinks I'm gay but its all good in the hood.

It's pretty insane how many people love the wheels. I flew solo to the race this weekend (17/40 - pretty dope course some awesome "no brake-euro shoot" descents) but heard a large number of people cheering for the wheels. Now I just need to get more speed to match the bling bling dubs.



The ascetics blew me away when I first saw them, but its not whats on the outside that counts right?
Right!
The wheels are way stiffer than anything else I've ever ridden. With the 6 pawls they get on the gas waaaaay sooner.

I like.

I'm so excited about the bazillion races that I'm going to be doing in the next four + weeks. Maybe I'll even be able to keep updating.....

My hands hurt.

I don't know what I've done lately but my hands have been through the meet grinder and are residing nicely in the meet locker.

Well actually I do know what happened.

I stopped a disc brake rotor with my thumb today. That did a number on the nail.

On the pointer of my right hand I tore a pretty good chunk of my nail up when I slipped a shift during yesterdays race. That felt real good.

I bruised my thumb fixing someones flat.

I also chaffed close to the knuckle on the other pointer. I don't know how I was holding the shifter but its not too happy right now.

And thats the state of my hay makers.

So cool

If I ever own a shop, frames will be displayed on the racks of deer's heads.

oh yes.

Bike racing can wait.

New Enlgand worlds can can wait another year



I'm off to Ireland. CX season to start the weekend of my return. The UCI boys better watch out!
