More Snow

More damn snow coming.

Cory's out of the state. Not sure where but I do expect a drunk call this week sometime.

He has been known to record his experiences in random airports through out the world. Here is his latest

“Saga 3

It’s snowing a lot, I’m drinking double jack and cokes. Nuff said. Did
Anna Nicole die?

My plan, to give the third row a doe. I think I can pull it off without
getting blammedd, im really good, after all I am gold elite now.”

There was a little race last night through the “Sky Way” of good ol’ St Paul.

Here is a peek….

Yeah people broke things

Check out this guy’s report… RichZilla of twin cities fame

  • Left index finger/knuckle broken and displaced about 6mm
  • Right collarbone broken and displaced about 25mm (1 inch) with a big overlapping 'tent' shape. They said it almost made it through the skin. Dang! Maybe next time.
  • Broken rib on my right backside, about halfway down and 4" out from the spine. Shallow breathing only!
  • Ultra-gnar bruise all the way to the bone on my right thigh from the handlebars, making it damn hard to hobble around.
  • Multiple rug burns and scrapes from whatever.
  • Short period of unconsciousness right after I hit the ground.
  • Wicked-good, old fashioned, got the wind knocked out of me.
  • Getting it all on tape with the onboard helmetcam rolling........Priceless!

Dude got it all on a helmet Cam… Damn

Oh and our new bibs for the race came...

Might need to go with the XL

Snow and F'in Google


Ok well I had a pretty long post already written but god damn google fucked it up.
Anyway, I posted something about the damn snow and how it was cool fallin but sucks to get around in.
Got to ride twice this year outside. Hopefully the shit will warm up around here. I've about had it with this weather. I need to move some place where it is warm in Feb.

Ok so I got an idea...Go to Sea Otter this year.
Here was the plan. It goes down from April 12 to the 15.
3 days 5 races...Sounds good to me

Day One: Friday morning 4 hour adventure race. Afternoon Short track race
Day Two: Sat. Morning Single Speed MT bike race, Road Circuit race in the afternoon
Day Three: 20 mile Mt Bike race.

The challenges...a total of 6 bikes and 2200 miles. Thoughts of UPS for the bikes but not sure of that. Plane with 6 bike would be $920 bucks. Driving would take 30+ hours.
Well hell if push comes to shove fuck the gears, we'll just bring the singles.

We shall see if this works out. I would have to ditch out on a final, a presentation and a paper so this damn school thing might just get one last cock punch on me and screw up another spring trip. Thank god I am done in May.

Training is not going so good. Riding inside sucks ass. Although I had a good ride at the gym tonight I've about had it with dance / techno music. At least if I go to hell I am pretty sure what it will be like. My ass strapped to shitty spin bike with dance music blaring and some fat ass yellin at me to get my ass back further over the seat.

What the hell are we doing?

What is the TRC you may ask. OK Simply put it's grinding back and forth over the Canadian Continental Divide off road on a bicycle. No Worries, I mean its Canada for Christ sake and with the exchange rate these days this should be no problem, right? Well once the math was done we came up with some 400 miles of dirt trails with over 35000 feet of climbing done in 7 days. Huh, we might need to train a bit for this one.
