Got Rocked and Road

Hello America, today I participated in an event held by the AES, Arizona Endurance Series, called the rocky road 50/50. A 50 Mile mtn bike gnar sesh followed by a 50 mile road ride. I headed it out with my new bike on the back of the truck, Redline Conquest Team, and ole faithful . I got there about 5:15 and we headed out at 6, we had a small group of three but we were all eager to shred. We climbed and powered through some rough terrain i had yet to see in tucson. It was awesome.... We ended on what was referred to as Milagrosa a true Gnar Bone. Story Short I rode for almost 6 hours, about two with out water, 50 miles 3 packs of shot blocks, and didn't even attempt to start the road part of the ride due to cramps and dehydration, yes I had to DNF. It was a fun ride none the less I was just a little unprepared i feel. The rest of my day I have spent rolling around in bed and on the couch infront of the TV trying to recover.......

It was a hella ride!

Caution, to many doses can be leathal!

bikes and bikes and bikes and bikes

Hey America how is it going? I know it has been a short while, but your brother here has been busy in ole Tucson. As we all know back to school has gone by and man does it fell great to not be in the swing of that thing again, even though i will miss the Brevard Parties, me and Greenies! Any who back to school here has been choas to the max, it was so crazy we even had a few late nighters building cruisers for the kids. Although we did have a little fun with it as well...

I think i have built about a hundred of those damn cruiser, and let me tell you they are a pain. Besides that I had my road bike stolen, but as we remember with the original S-Works and not the Gnome that with death there is life, and I now have a new street bike that kicks azz, and let me tell you its sick gnar for street huckin...

FIRE TRUCK


Finally the weather has been getting nicer and nicer i can actually say we have had some beautiful days and more to come. With great weather comes great biking, so i have been schredding more and more and loving every minute of it. On my days off i have actually had the chance to get some 5 hour rides in although 2 parts road and 1 part mountain, its still getting my ride on. We all know what happens when i ride, AWESOME!

The only problem I have out here is the snakes they are everywhere, literally everywhere. I have had several run ins with rattlers, the key is to ride as fast past them as possible, and that is how i have learned to avoid any sticky situations if you know what i mean. Although the snake are scary i enjoy the company of the tarantulas, they are awsome to watch!
