Do People Think I have too many mechanicals?? Not too many in my mind. I will say my bike maintenance doesn't always take priority. Often times I'll just throw bike in the truck & go.....
TOP TEN REASONS MY BIKE MAY NOT WORK LIKE A PROFESSIONAL:
1. Limited Sponsorship: new wheels, frame ect rare, component changes my game
2.3.4. Alta, Leo, Duncan: three awesome kids
5. Momma Squirrel: bless her heart, demands many things
6. St. Thomas MBA Program: up late studying often. 2 classes this semester
7. Building 2 rooms & full bath downstairs: arms too sore to do maintenance
8. Weight Weenie: when tinker it's w/unconventional parts vs. conventional maint
9. Sr. Forecast Analyst report to VP: HR supporting advancement, work FT+
10. Ok Ok Ok we're all busy..prioritizing appropriately: I'm prioritizing!
The Day at Hillside: Just Leo & I hit Hillside. Momma sqrl was busy at flower shop and Alta and Duncan had sleepovers. Leo had a GREAT DAY! He did many stunts, construction & general rippin all day long. Right after my race we did a father son ride through section 1. He wanted to hit the big jumps really bad. Good times.Hillside trail is absolutely a hoot. Saturday was my 2nd time on single track all year. Friday was the first, bike worked great for quick slap together. Other than a floppy loose brake lever Race went fine(I kept manually tightening bolt as I rode through twist trail). Just like after 2laps at Buck my legs we're opened. I was starting to mess with Barry, Tom, & Jack leading them through sec 4 (they we're sticking to my wheel real good). We we're working hard and I was ready to hammer harder to experiment. Then a stick in my wheel/frame derailleur side, slowed me. Later in down hill area of Sec4 the brake issue made me pull off. Those 3 went on to catch Jay. Anyway, I'm cranking at right speed. Same general group fun again this season. Plus young Jack, Jake & Michael McB prob there this year too. NextGen absolutley a good thing! Later

This Week on 20/20. "What is the real deal with Heath and all his Mechanicals?" & "will the top 10 list Hold true?" Stay tuned, unlike his bikes!
Nice job A, told ya you'd be faster this year. Disregard Salem, think Afton training, MTB all the way. Gor for the hole shot and don't check any bolts. It's all Winter training. Watch out for out fox.
Believe it or not... I'm out for Afton... FG duties, big time dance recital and Sarge has to dress right dress... Missing my bleeder will only make me want to suffer more...
Nah....there are lots of us who always find their mechanicals DURING races. This year I switching primarily "race-only" equipment.
P.S. Go for Albuquerque...would be good. City sucks - nothing like the infrastructure you are used to in MN, but the trails and riding are awesome...and it's year round riding. email me at mcturge at yahoo if you want more beta.
FG your duty to payback, Afton24.
Matt you old Minnesotan thanks for the e-mail info.
