Reforestation Ramble

Aside from 12 Hours of Santos, Iceman, and Wausau24 this was my most expensive race year because about 8 minutes in I was involved in crash and shouting match and resulted in my Garmin being broken. Repairs are going to run me over $100 at least if not more, a complete loss would be about $300. I was so pissed I couldn't bring myself to finish the race and called it an early day with the expectation I have next weekends 12 hours of Pitchblack single track to look forward to.

Hats off the Ripon Redhawks kicking butt and taking names. Oh I almost forgot, Saturday was the formal grand opening of the trails @ Ripon. I put in over 20 hours there working and doing what I could. Its nice to see the pay off a reality.

Where the hell have I been, having not posted for over 2 Years

2009 was a bust of a year with a screwed up ankle. The only highlight being Iceman where I did a 2:28.

2010 - I became a dealer of WN Precision. I do professional level bike fitting no. I did lots of racing but was plagued by a mid summer GI issue that had my go in for surgery that I later found out was cause by a food allergy that I soon found out was from a Soy, Nut, and stomach acid allergy. I now take a daily antacid.

2011 - Has been a bit better to me. I had a so-so florida season. I capped it off by purchasing a Niner MCR which was a good move. I got 8th out of 23 @ the 55mile solo @ the "Southern Kettle Classic" I trained my butt off in july in prep for Wausau24, the race ended up being a bit of a bust due to inclement weather and about an inch of rain. I, on August 15th became an event Rep for thee Infinit Nutrition. I will be going to a bunch of races this fall, I hope this will be a good endeavor for me as I'm really excited for the future relationship with the company.
