Good work squirl and Jr.!!! The year ain't over, still got the winter beatdowns... Now is when Ricoh peaks (when it don't matter)...
Bring your A game, an extra seatpost (to be used as a cane) or a set of numb-chucks...
Out.
Nice season Heath. You definately had some huge improvements this year. We should plan on doing some "cross training" this winter. Sharpen up the crampons on your snow shoes, get your winter bike ready to go...its going to be a fun winter!
Pretty sure just simply racing for a 3rd year helped pistons go faster....additionally estimates on what worked should give high octane in 2008.
The Typical Mentality Applies: Always happy, Never satisfied.
Looking forward to some winter wipe outs. Have shoes, putting beater together now.
Thanks!
